Coaching interview updates

[ECHornet]

My preference at this point:

Steichen

Dorsey

Ryans (they said both parties may "circle back" later in the process)

Kafka

Wilks

Reich (because I think we could get him as OC if Wilks retained)

Broncos DC

Caldwell

Payton (If rumored 2 1sts from Panthers is true. If only one future 1st or less, he rises to top 2)

***My top 4 are close to interchangeable. A lot of potential and unknown with each of them. Similar candidates with differing approaches. Hopeful we choose the right one.

He has interviews scheduled with 2 teams this weekend.  Not with the Panthers.

How many of the tankers here want to give up the two firsts for SP? 

[Jaxel]

Im interested in Kafka, Steichen, and Moore. I think Moore is the super underrated coaching prospect here.

I think Ryans is giving Carolina the stiff arm. He's somehow managed to schedule interviews with the other 4 vacancies today through Saturday but couldn't find a time to interview with the Panthers?

I just meant I would not trade two first unless it was a QB or to move up for a QB. Not a coach

Gotcha haha. I thought you were trying to get Dalton or Jameis included in the trade lol

Is there word on how any of these interviews have gone so far?

Done!

I don't get the Dorsey hype at all. I'd honestly hire Wilks before him.

All I've seen is that Reich impressed via Sheena Quick.

No word on how Steichen was received via vid conference, but I think we're following up with an in-person for him if I recall.  Didn't hear anything on Caldwell (wouldn't put too much stock in that) or Evero.  

Kafka's interview on Sunday may be once they're officially out of contention (or) it could be pushed if they win.  If the latter is the case, Steichen could get flown in sooner than expected.  If the former is and it goes well, we could hear news early next week.

All I'll say is the Giants v. Eagles game should be fun because I think it's likely our next coach is calling plays in it.  Which side of the field that dude is on is TBD.

I wouldn’t read much into the “2 firsts” for SP. That’s their initial asking price, which is intentionally inflated from what the likely final price will be. It’s conceivable we give up 9th overall though, which I am not a fan of

I think it was said to be a more logistical issue last week. Plus, he probably sees that a primary focus is on offensive guys.
