I would like to see people leave this thread for news or comments specifically based on informed speculation.  In other words, if you want to attack and get into arguments with other Huddlers, go away.

Having said that, I think the longer we drag things out, the more I like the chances that the next head coach is still in the playoffs.

That was the original purpose

Is the FO done with the first round of interviews now that Payton's is complete?  No more initial ones, just follow up, correct?

They requested an interview with Kellen Moore.

There's also plans for Shane's Steichen when that becomes possible.

Are teams needing an HC just waiting for Payton to go somewhere before they start hiring? Is that why everyone is taking so long? 

Nah, I think most are interested in either Payton or coaches who were (until yesterday) still in the playoffs and couldn't be interviewed for a second round yet.

Houston: Rumor is they're after either Gannon or Ryans, both still in playoffs and can't do 2nd interviews until 1/30

Arizona: Wanted to settle their GM search first; interviewing Flores today and Payton on Thursday

Denver: Likely to be either Payton or Quinn - Quinn didn't interview until last Friday and Broncos in process of setting up their second round with their finalists

Indianapolis: Who fuging knows lol

I’m not saying he isn’t a great coaching prospect. I’m saying here we go again with a coach with no HC experience, and we will be in purgatory for the next two seasons. Hopefully, we can compete in 2025.

Giants, Dolphins and Vikings seem pretty happy in Purgatory with their coaches with no experience this year.

Literally every reporter who is quote tweeted here is just throwing poo at the wall, hoping it sticks.  So many damn conflicting reports its starting to feel like the whole Watson saga all over again.  So much disinformation and PR warfare going on, thats its almost impossible to know whats really going on.  Which is, of course, by design. 

This. I don't get why some of you believe in Twitter so much. You know what Tweet we'll want to see? PAYTON AGREES WITH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Until then it's a bunch of rumors, but some of you want to get some secret insider tid bit before it goes national. Neat, if some Tweet DID let the beans spill ... you and we'd know like an hour at most before the rest of the NFL world lol. Get off Twitter, go run some errands, come back, see if anything HAPPENED, and go on about your life. I'm really shocked Mr. Scot takes Twitter so seriously. He's older than all of us. I'd expect a teen to take Twitter as legit factual news. Not someone who didn't grow up with social media.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
