Really???

The guy is interviewing for another job the day before their playoff game??

That's very surprising in itself, but it also means 2 things to me... 

First is that it means Steichen is Tepper's favorite or he's setting up future interviews to try and leverage going another way over Payton/Saints negotiations.  As if Payton was the top target, I'd think Tepper would be trying to get it wrapped up ASAP and not drag into the weekend, so setting up a weekend interview would be weird.

Of course he would. He was also obsessed with Ron Rivera.

Just remember, George Seifert had a .766 overall winning percentage (best in NFL history) over 8 seasons as head coach prior to joining the Panthers.  He was out of coaching a few years, came to us, and ended up going 16-32, .333 with us.

Had superstar quarterbacks, 6 NFC West Titles, 2x Super Bowl Champ, the flamed out here.

Payton had superstar quarterback, Super Bowl ring, multiple NFC South titles, .631 overall, but was barely .500 post Brees.  Now he’s been out a few years.

 

Not saying the same would happen this time around, but several correlations could be drawn…

Panthers have just concluded their interview with Broncos DC Ejiro Evero 

- per me and Joe Persons

Excellent

[Mr. Scot]

Rooney Rule obligations have now been completed. Thus, the Panthers can now make a hire if they so choose.

That doesn't necessarily mean they'll do anything immediately. They could still take their time.

FYI: Looks like the Broncos have too.

Both guys that not only Greg knows and is close to via his career, but also guys with strong roots in the community which Olsen calls home as well, so I love him, but I don't think Olsen is super objective on this...

Frank Reich is a legit head coach candidate with interviews with several nfl teams. Why would he hitch his wagon to Wilks who got a courtesy/Rooney interview and be a coordinator? That is not happening.

Valid, But it's also true that Olsen is extremely football smart. He knows what he's talking about.

For the record, Olsen has been supportive of Ken Dorsey as well.
