It feels hella disrespectful to be talking to coaches about a vacancy while you have a head coach preparing the team for a game. This conversation couldnt wait ONE WEEK? 

This is the reality of the NFL, we just have a poo ton of leaks in our organization.

I mean.....cross that bridge when it comes. I don't think you will struggle to get those interviews filled. 

Even if it's a sham, it's an excellent opportunity to go through the process for the candidates and potentially make an impression. Definitely can lead to future opportunities if you treat it that way. 

Obviously if you are a guy that is a former head coach or have other opportunities to be a head coach, it might get declined.

I used Harbaugh but I wonder what would happen in that situation. Obviously it hasn't happened yet, but you have to think at some point it will in the NFL.

Teams are already doing work you can’t fall behind, Wilks knows he has to interview for it as well so this shouldn’t surprise him.

I get it. Harbaugh is a legit good coach. But this is messy and that kind of sentiment trickles down to other parts of the organization.

This is always happening, though, and any coach or player that thinks its too early to start getting together potential interview candidates is fooling themselves. Teams have been having these conversations since mid-season.  Just most teams aren't filled with OOU idiots, and no doubt our org has a bunch of dipshits from Rhule's days still.

the plan all along was to look at and interview other coaches. i'm more surprised that this kind of thing hasn't been done earlier. it's not like we've got a full time HC here. He's an interim. The job isn't his after this year.

I bet it has been ongoing honestly. I think this is just the first to leak, and I think it's in response to the previous fake rumors this weekend about it.

Not as disrespectful to the fans who have had to endure with this garbage since SB50. 
 

everyone likes Steve Wilkes. He is a great guy and respected by all of us but he came up short this year. I hope he can stay on as the DC but that probably won’t happen either.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
