I wonder if they plan to interview more candidates?

Eleven candidates isn't enough? :)

Haven't seen any indication. There were other names previously mentioned as possibilities but no other requests have been submitted.

I'd love to get this wrapped up this week. 

This being the one year anniversary of the Matt Rhule hire, getting it done today would be cool.

For the record, I'm still pulling for Peters, Dodds or Ireland, though I'd be okay with Schoen too.

Dodds or Peters and I'm ecstatic, Ireland I'm happy, Schoen I'm good with it.

Anyone else I'm hopeful (to what level depends on their prior resume).

Seeing a pattern?

Of looking at cap guys when Rhule specifically said he wants a talent evaluator?

Oy :eyeroll:

One of the things that made Marty Hurney so bad at his job was that he all too often believed he was the smartest guy in the room when he was actually far from it. David Tepper could conceivably be that same guy, one who thinks he's gonna revolutionize everything but actually just ends up failing.

I'd hate to think we finally got out from under the thumb of Jerry Richardson just to wind up stuck with someone else who doesn't know what he's doing either.

Ok, thanks for filling in the gaps!

It's strange we are looking at cap specialist when we have one in house hired for that reason. I fear you are right but still hope it's due diligence. Cap expertise sure as hell doesn't help us find talent. That's where we need to improve. 

Honestly, the NFL is set up where the ownership can be the point of failure so many ways. Rhule is endearing himself to me by targeting an area of weakness, I don't really blame an owner for not getting that. Hopefully Rhule can get his guy, that is a guy who is a talent evaluator. I also get Tepper leaning towards a Cap Specialist, the financial strength overlaps his strengths making him comfortable. Seems like a natural struggle for an NFL team, fingers crossed we can fall on the right side of this one.

      Rams are willing to deal one of the 1st rounders for all-pro talent in secondary

      By strato · Posted

      Of course, everyone has film. That is probably fresh in their mind though. Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).

      It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
