A look at head coach situations of five teams as 2022 NFL season nears its end

From the article...

Carolina Panthers

Interim coach Steve Wilks has the team in position to win the NFC South if they can complete a sweep of the Bucs today -- a remarkable feat considering Carolina opened the season with a head coach who's now a Cornhusker, a quarterback who's now a Ram and a star running back who's now a 49er. After a 1-4 start under ex-head coach Matt Rhule, they're 5-5 under Wilks.

The turnaround has positioned Wilks, 53, as a strong candidate for the full-time job. He's well-regarded and liked within the building. However, Carolina still intends to go through a full search process that also includes other in-demand candidates. Owner David Tepper's top priorities have been solidifying the quarterback position and the offense, so expect the Panthers to interview all of the rising offensive gurus. If Wilks is going to get the job, he'll need to sell his plan for that side of the ball, too. Tepper also respects Wilks' leadership traits, which is a huge part of the job.

Key phrase here: "all of the rising offensive gurus".

We know that list includes Johnson and Steichen, but who else would fit that criteria?

Shane Waldron & Ken Dorsey would be potential adds.  Unsure if Leftwich is perceived as a rising guru, but he could get considered by teams with openings.

Leftwich struggled this year without Arians. He may get some interviews but I’d be surprised if anyone gives him the job.

I'd tend to agree.

I'd say Waldron is quietly a top candidate from the ever growing McVay tree. 

Steichen stemming from the old McCoy SD staff with Reich/ & Sirianni

Ryans is this year's Shanahan guy

Ben Johnson I still find interesting being a Mike Sherman pupil with his former counterparts in Zach Taylor & Dan Campbell. Both now HCs.  

Harbaugh is self-explanatory, and not a bad option one bit.

Have some REALLY interesting guys out there.

I just hope we do our do diligence and don't fixate like we did last time. I also hope we have football knowledgeable people involved that can cut through any potential BS.

Our last two searches took very different paths.

For the GM search, they seemed to be interviewing everybody they could find.

Of course the coaching search ended quickly because Hurney and Tepper got hoodwinked by Matt Rhule.

Yep, if Tepper is less fixated and has some internal support to assist (which he did admit to wanting w/the new search after firing Rhule, said in that presser he wanted some advisors this time around), I'll trust the process because that's all we can really do at day's end. 

Just happy it seems like a good field of candidates.

I mentioned this on Twitter, but is Wilks really wants to sell the offensive side of his plan, he should reach out to Todd Monken and see what it would take to get him to leave Georgia. They have history together being coordinators in Cleveland, so it might make some sense...

Staffing questions are typically part of the interview process.

I thought about this too until I looked at offenses under Monken. They were very pass heavy in the NFL and not exactly what Wilks has been trying to do. I don’t think he ever had a 800 yard rusher. Also check out the Jags when he was their WRs coach a few years back. It was rough. 
 

I wouldn’t be surprised if he kept Ben and had Ben mold his playbook into what he wanted. I think Freddie Kitchens and (God help me) Mike Shula are options.

      to all the Low-T Betas crying about "pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza" / "we’ll get embarrassed if we admit we like it" stop the nonsense stop the embarrassment go back to watching The View with your girlfriend’s other boyfriend while eating your dry cheese-only slice like a toddler Pizza culture has not sniffed innovation in nearly a decade, a total abyss of pathetic, boring, flavorless display of culinary cowardice Do I think pineapple pizza is going to replace pepperoni and conquer the world, absolutely not Would I be excited to proudly order it anyway? hell yea and deep down you’d give up making out with your first cousin on the weekend to take a bite of a hot, fresh, pineapple slice We need to normalize pineapple on pizza to set the blocks for the future of flavor We have an up-and-coming generation of taste buds who need guidance a STUD of a topping that is COOKING a wrecking ball of sweetness that hits like a freight train a stud salty counterpart like ham or bacon to balance it a young buck of creativity for toppings that is just getting started a true #1 cheese holding it all together a solid crust foundation a sauce that is progressing It’s not perfect, it’s not traditional, but I am beyond elated with the direction pizza is going I will be in the pizzeria cheering on the boys stacking pineapple on that dough and so should you And for the national mouth breather association who will undoubtedly poo and flame everything I post… have a blessed day

      Remember when we passed on malik wills 3 times for matt corral?

      I can't defend Richardsons failure to this point. And he is still as young as the rookies being taken this past season. I think he still could pan out.  XL is another case. I think he looked the part but some of his times and film showed he struggled separating and the fact he never showed up being good before his 5th season. Laad was my obvious choice at that point(tho I was banging the table to trade up and grab Thomas Jr when he fell into the 20s). Ladd didn't lack athleticism and had the route running and mental part to boot. Didn't see a weakness in his game expect he was smaller..

      Surprised?  I wouldn't be surprised. I think you are missing my point. I'm not saying the Panthers won't extend Bryce.  I'm just saying that decision won't be based off one game.  This game is not going to decide if Bryce is released or given a 5-year deal.  Like, those are crazy extremes. The people who will be surprised are those who think the Panthers losing this week will automatically mean Bryce is gone in the offseason or won't be starting again for us next year, since that seems to be the only reason people are wanting them to lose.  Which is why I think it is silly to be rooting for that.  Because we can all pretend we know what the FO is thinking, but we don't.  So why not just enjoy the moment and the possibility of hosting a playoff game?  Like, what's the point of being a fan of the team if we can't even enjoy moments like this?  Just because of something that MIGHT happen in the offseason?
