Here's how it breaks down between talent evaluators and cap/analytics types among the remaining candidates...

Personnel Guys:

Jerry Reese, Former General Manager, New York Giants
Joe Schoen, Assistant General Manager, Buffalo Bills
Monti Ossenfort, Director of Player Personnel, Tennessee Titans
Jeff Ireland, Assistant General Manager for College Personnel, New Orleans Saints
Adam Peters, Vice President of Player Personnel, San Francisco 49ers
Ryan Poles, Assistant Director of Player Personnel, Kansas City Chiefs
Pat Stewart, Director of Player Personnel, Panthers
Scott Fitterer, Vice President of Football Operations, Seattle Seahawks


"Outside the Box" Guys:

Kwesi Adofo-Mensah, Vice President of Football Operations, Cleveland Browns
Brandt Tilis, Director of Football Administration, Kansas City Chiefs
Champ Kelly, Assistant Director of Player Personnel, Chicago Bears
Samir Suleiman, Director of Player Negotiations / Salary Cap Manager, Panthers
Omar Khan, Vice President of Football & Business Administration, Pittsburgh Steelers

 

For the record, both of the interviewees who have since removed themselves from the search were personnel guys.

The GM "search" from 2018 was such a farce in comparison. 

This tells me they are doing their due-diligence and taking their time looking for the right guy to turn it all around. 

I was worried that they had THE guy that they wanted to interview but just couldn't due to that guy still being stuck in the playoffs but the fact that they went ahead and interviewed two more legitimate candidates say they really are kicking all the tires out there.

Hopefully we find something out this week.

You mean the one we only did because the Fritz Pollard Alliance called Jerry Richardson on his bullsh-t?

I want Poles as assistant GM regardless of who else we hire. There are several guys who could be “GM” that I’d be happy with, though still holding out hope for Colbert.

I've long believed that role would go to Pat Stewart.

Hiring candidates for a position that you didn't actually interview them for is a little tricky. Other teams could likely block that sort of thing if they wanted to.

So much This. We are doing homework and not putting on a show. We didn’t hire a firm to give us a set list which kinda makes me happier.

this is ridiculous

That the list of interviewees has reached 15 indicates Tepper has a very well-defined box/job-description for which he is going about finding the exact right guy to fit within said box.

Makes perfect sense.

The model/system is in place, need to find the right cog/part-number to complete the engine.

      Madden 27 ratings for Panthers

      By beo · Posted

      Madden has been in a bad state for well over a decade now but the best recent change they've made was making the rating distrubition harsher IMO. Whenever I try to play a MyLeague in the newer games pretty much every single one of your starters will be 85+ if you want to win a championship and you need probably 3 90+ guys. There's like zero seperation between the players on the court it seems like, someone ranked 85/99 should be a great player going off the percentage but instead that's essentially an average starter. Having a larger rating gap between the superstars and the JAGs highlights the difference in skill a lot better, whereas in 2K some team's 4th best defender can square up your 96 overall superstar thus causing the gameplay to feel rather homogenous.

      TJ and Speakeasy boys talk about XL

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I think, if the stars align, and the light comes on for XL and Metchie finds his way, and Brazzell's early returns are accurate--man, this team could be LOADED at WR.  Six will make it: TMac Coker XL Brazzell Metchie Tremayne Moore Horn

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      Personally, I think the Panthers would be a good place for a QB if he falls to maybe a 4th rounder or later.  I am not sure how they feel about the gambling and I am not sure of the details, but I think we have to plan for life without Bryce as much as we are planning for life with him.   I like Sorsby the player.  I see the Jets going after him if they have concerns about Klubnik-and they need competition for him anyway and a future replacement for Geno (who I think will suck back in NY).  Watch Atlanta, Cleveland, Indy, Miami, too, but Carolina is the team nobody is talking about, and Sorsby would be better than Kenny Pickett and maybe Haynes King is slated to always be the third QB/etc ST and Swiss Army knife--if he makes the team.   If Bryce falters, we need a QB who has potential, and Sorsby has it.  Pickett will never be a starter in this league, so his role is a #2.   I would be surprised if Morgan pulls the plug, but at worst he is a good backup and potential developmental starter.  To me-on paper--it makes too much sense.
