yea i replied in context. I should have clarified.

Not sure I'd call it a mistake. It's still interesting.

If I understand correctly, though, if they don't get Dorsey, Moore or Kafka in this week, they have to wait until they're done in the playoffs.

I thought the NFL changed the rule this past offseason. Due to coaches getting pissed that they have to wait to make a decision due to a franchise waiting for another coach to get done in the playoffs before making a decisions.

 

I could be misremembering though.

Feels like we keep hearing different things.

I know there was a proposal out there to withhold all interviews until after the Super Bowl was over but it got shot down (for the moment at least).

We cannot interview any of those 3 candidates (Dorsey/Moore/Kafka) this week. This week you can only interview currently employed external candidates virtually if they are not in the playoffs or have a Wild Card bye. Starting next week after the Wild Card round and prior to the divisional games on 1/22, we can conduct in-person or virtual interviews of candidates whose teams played on Wild Card weekend.

Gotcha.

The rules are kinda weird.

Realistically, it makes sense. I know if I was an owner of a team playing this weekend I wouldn't want an important member of my coaching staff doing HC interviews rather than prepping for the game and I don't think any of those candidates would want their focus divided between prepping for a HC interview and prepping for a do or die game in a few days.

This would support the idea they are waiting to talk to Leftwhich. They can't talk to him this week because he's coaching the WC game.

OK....I have a feeling Ben Johnson is gonna end up being the guy. I have to admit I'm really nervous about him though. Just scared this is gonna turn into all of us looking in the rearview saying "what the fug were they/we thinking? Of course this wasn't gonna work out". 

Besides “keep pounding” 

“what the fug were they thinking” is a fantastic mantra for the Panthers franchise

I know there are some changes because of the rise of virtual interviews.

For most of my life, that wasn't a thing. Every interview was conducted in person.

I wish Tepper would just forget this idea of going after washed up coaches that have already been canned. There is no Andy Reid out there. 
 

Also, what are the chances Ben Johnson secretly wants this job more than the others because he’s from NC? I am holding on to hope this is somewhat true, as BJ is starting to emerge as my personal favorite. 

Andy Reid got canned

That's grossly unfair on teams looking for new head coaches. You want your guy through the door asap.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Kon is a damn stud but it’s not any individual player’s team. All of the “big 3” are incredibly and equally important IMO. And LaMelo makes Kon way better (look at his shooting splits with LaMelo on the floor vs without. Also Moose and even Miles are important cogs. Honestly think we’re 1 piece away from being legit top contenders if the young guys continue to develop the next year or two. I trust this FO to be patient to find that piece within the next 2-3 years and not force anything. Plenty of time and even without adding anyone we have the pieces in place overall already to compete with any team.

      We lost 2 very close and winnable games against top teams in the league while missing 3 critical players despite 2 of our top 3 players shooting unusually terribly. Still split the 4 games that Moose and Miles were suspended, winning the most important one vs the Hawks. This ain’t yo mama’s Hornets man. Hopefully Coby can go soon but even if not Moose and Miles are huge additions for our starting lineup and bench rotations. Schedule is pretty tough after these next 4 but I think we’ll take care of business the next 4 to get to .500 then finish slightly above .500 after that to get a 7 or 8 seed. Keep it rolling boys. Also Kon is having an insanely historic rookie season as a shooter. Like truly can’t believe my eyes watching this kid level of historic. Man what a fuging home run of a draft pick and exactly what this team needed to take that next step forward. He’s gonna shatter the rookie 3 point and franchise 3 point records. Has a real chance to be the 2nd best 3 point shooter ever or dare I say even get to Curry’s level (as a pure shooter, Curry obviously has way more to his game that has made him a GOAT).

      Mike Kaye: LB Devin Lloyd could be a realistic possibility

      By strato · Posted

      I hear you but yeah like you say, above average. His numbers were good. You’d think it would be a no brainer. Anyhow… I guess the new staff is also fine with him walking?    I hope if we sign him there isn’t some secret issue of his that led to him not being valued.
