Panthers also interviewed Omar Khan

[Mr. Scot]

Related: Someone on Twitter asked Broncos reporter Mike Klis why the team hasn't looked at Adam Peters (some here had that question as well).

The apparent reason is that the Broncos believe he's going to get the Panthers job.

They're going to to do it no matter what. It was always going to be too many or too few. Or the guy I am fixated on after reading Wikipedia didn't get hired.  The culture here cultivates mindless whining.

I don’t think some people realize that companies usually interview LOTS of candidates for important positions.

People just love to complain and cry.

One of the items in consideration is if the GM should be tied to the Head Coach. If the coach does not perform as expected, then the GM would need to be as objective as possible for a final evaluation.

I'm not upset about the number of candidates.

That said, I've paid attention to NFL hiring cycles for a long time, and I can tell you that fifteen interviews is high, way high. When it comes to GM or head coach openings, most teams bring in about a half dozen candidates at most.

One big factor to remember in this story though? Covid.

In past years, interviews were just about always in person. The team had to fly people out, find accommodations for them, etc etc. Not this year. Now you can just do it by Zoom so there's a lot less time, money and trouble involved.

Not sure we'd have interviewed this many people if it were under normal conditions.

Gonna be interesting to see whether the NFL allows this to continue in the future.

That still doesn't make sense.  If they want him they hire him.  Why give up on him going somewhere else, even lobby for him to be hired by someone else?  

Personally that seems odd to me.

I won't have much of an option of the move until about a year from now and then it's still likely premature and based on a very shallow view

It does if they know he wants this job. And given his longtime friendship with Matt Rhule, that wouldn't be surprising.

It's also true they do have other candidates with prior Bronco connections.

I would not be unhappy with those choices. 

Peters I think would be great

Possibly, but it just doesn't smell right to me.  I am like the guard on Crematoria from the Chronicles of Riddick.

I can't smell anything through my phone.

Maybe I need to upgrade.

Many of you highly opinionated posters on this board are completely insufferable, and if you knew half as much about football and its operations as you pretend to know on here, well, you wouldn’t be on here as much would you?

It metaphorical.  It's more like the hairs on the back of your neck standing up.

But why does it matter though?  There is literally no negative downside to the amount of people you interview. 

It’s a ludicrous complaint. No different than scouting a lot of players. 

The fact is we could just as easily be doing our due diligence and already have the guy we want in mind. None of us no, so it seems silly for so many to be complaining so relentlessly.

Don’t you know all of these disgruntled fans know more about running a billion dollar organization than does Tepper?
