Frank Reich is a legit head coach candidate with interviews with several nfl teams. Why would he hitch his wagon to Wilks who got a courtesy/Rooney interview and be a coordinator? That is not happening. 

Because the teams he's interviewed for so far look prone to going either younger OC or Sean Payton.

The Cardinals are still a wild card, of course.

Valid, But it's also true that Olsen is extremely football smart. He knows what he's talking about.

For the record, Olsen has been supportive of Ken Dorsey as well.

No doubt.  I love his analysis.  And again, I think Wilks is a hell of a football coach, but we just can't go with a defensive minded coach on this hire.

Wilks success with hinge pretty heavily on his staffing choices.

Doug Pederson or Mike Vrabel

Who is the better coach? Who do you prefer to lead your team?

Mike Vrabel has coached 5 years and averages right at 10 wins per season. No trophies to show for it.

Doug Pederson, if you exclude the year he won the Super Bowl, is just under .500 in win % and averaged ~8 wins over 5 years.

Pederson.

There's something about part of Panther fandom. Skittish on bigness (how many hated Cam's "icon" comment") but are unrealistically optimistic on the low 4th rounder drafted every year. Want no part of big names but fall in love with unsung heroes. Would run a race with a Ford instead of the Ferrari because the Ferrari uses up too much gas.

Yes, Seifert failed on round 2. Yes, Gruden failed in round 3 (and maybe part of round 2). On the flip side, Belichick was an awful failed coach in Cleveland...until he wasn't in NE (after the Jets flakeout). Dick Vermeil left coaching and came back to win a title. Pete Carroll did ok with NE, and did better with Seattle. Holmgren didn't win a title, but he always had a Matt Hasselback(!) led team in the championship discussion many years. Andy Reid finally won too.

The chances are just as good that Payton is more like Carroll and Reid than not, and he would be motivated to be on a short list of coaches (maybe the first?) who's won at two different teams.

Dorsey worries me more than any other candidate right now. He's basically running Daboll's system with Josh Allen.

Colin Cowherd on his show today said he talked with Sean Payton for 4-5 hours last night and said had this to say today....it doesn't sound good for the Houston Texans (they interviewed Payton via Zoom)

It's pretty tough to take him seriously after the Brian Daboll comments.

Actually, it's been pretty hard to take him seriously for a long time.

EJIRO EVERODC, DENVER BRONCOS

The Panthers completed an interview with Broncos DC Ejiro Evero for their head coach vacancy.

The Panthers are one of five teams to show interest in Evero as a head coach. Denver, Indianapolis, Houston, and Arizona have also interviewed or submitted an interview request for the defensive guru. The 2022 season was Evero's first as a defensive coordinator. Despite the Broncos' struggles as a team, Evero and the defense remained strong. They ranked 14th in points allowed and ninth in EPA per play despite the offense consistently putting them in disadvantageous positions. With a few candidates already pulling out of the running for Carolina, it's possible Evero sits near the top of their list.
