This is actually a good sign. He’s actually thinking this through and weighing all his option. No Drummond or Hurney is a big W too. I wonder which candidate they told they’d do a finalist group interview? 

I’ve always thought it was more a case of over correcting to a similarly bad practice on the other end of the spectrum. So because Tepper was a bonehead last time and fell in love with another bonehead, now he’s going to interview way too many people with way too many people involved, overthink it because he under thought it last time, and make another mistake. Hope I’m wrong or that we just luck into the right coach, but this whole process has reeked of over correction to me.

Very solid point and well said. I don’t know if there is a correct way to do this. But what I do know is whatever he did last time, don’t do that again.

I think that Fitterer is our GM this time around which is why our process is different. Fitterer knows he has to get this right.

Also from that Athletic article, growing belief in the league that Payton doesn't lead for the Broncos job. 

 

Makes me think he finally agreed to meet them for leverage purposes with Carolina to make sure he gets the 20m a year deal he wants. 

I’m sorry I’m not bright, are you saying that they are saying we are in the lead?

Either that or going back to fox. Kinda a coin flip that I'm leaning toward Carolina with Arizona being a ploy to make Carolina move to hire him.

If that's what he wants, ain't no way Tepper ponies that up after overpaying for Rhule and how that turned out.  His pride is hurt.  Sure, Payton is about as sure of a thing as there's out there that we interviewed, but you just can't take that monetary risk again.

I don't think Denver was a serious choice because of the contract Wilson had and the fact they won't make Patton give up control as gm.

It was known from the start he was wanting 20-25m a season.

Damn.  Even for me personally who really likes the idea of hiring him, kind of sours on the idea of paying that PLUS the picks we'd give up.  Damn that's steep.  But, again, I feel like it's about as sure of a thing as you can get, so I could accept it if it happened.

Coach salary doesn't matter, comes out of Tepper's pocket and it's not like it affects the salary cap. 

$20 million is high, but it's not insane compared to other top coaches. Belichick makes $20m, Carroll $15m, McVay $14m, etc.
