Just curious...did the Payton interview take place in NYC?  If so, any guesses on why that location?

He had no TE help. Tremble, Thomas are better than the TE they brought up from their practice squad.

We have better receivers and tight ends and a better o line. This offense has more weapons than young Daniel has ever had.

He had coaching changes, Gettleman f' ups. NO he didn't have better in NY. He'd be a better player with this squad and he really stepped up his game.

I said at the end of the year. He had three WRs really step up. If they can blossom next year, they're in a good spot. But anyone that wants Jones here will get the same result we had with Sam.

I'm assuming it's probably easier/more flight options for Payton to fly from LA into NYC than to CLT and it's a short trip for Tepper and co anyway. They could potentially have conducted the interview at the league offices which are located on 345 Park Ave in NYC.

I thought the story circulating around Payton from the start was he wasn't interested in Carolina since it did not meet his list of wants with the qb situation. Nothing has changed with our qb situation except Baker is gone.

Nobody actually knows. Most are just throwing darts at a blank wall

I get the feeling that Payton has never once seriously considered coaching here. I also think his second term as HC of a team will likely end up similar to Mike Ditka's with the Saints.

It's funny that fans have convinced themselves that Steichen is the target. There is literally nothing substantial in terms of reporting that seems to back this claim up. All wild speculation.

We are just as likely to hire Frank Reich as we are Stiechen at this point.

Not Speculation

He's waaaaay better than Sam. By far.

I'm going to lock this thread at some point tonight and get a part 2 going. Too much crap to sift through over 187 pages.

Tepper: Sean you want the job?

Sean: Nope

Tepper: Thank you for your time.

Regarding the second version of this thread, I don't mind discussion around tweets/the search, but maybe save the draft status of future QBs for a different thread.

Very curious to see which of those virtuals become in person, how many 2nd interviews we have, etc...

He wouldn't have done the interview in person, he'd have just done a zoom like he did with the Texans. 

 

He wants the job, at the very least he's interested in it.
