The Panthers completed an interview with Broncos DC Ejiro Evero for their head coach vacancy.

The Panthers are one of five teams to show interest in Evero as a head coach. Denver, Indianapolis, Houston, and Arizona have also interviewed or submitted an interview request for the defensive guru. The 2022 season was Evero's first as a defensive coordinator. Despite the Broncos' struggles as a team, Evero and the defense remained strong. They ranked 14th in points allowed and ninth in EPA per play despite the offense consistently putting them in disadvantageous positions. With a few candidates already pulling out of the running for Carolina, it's possible Evero sits near the top of their list.

I know he does not fit the mold of what Tepper wants this year, but he would be near the top of my list. The guy is very impressive and will excel when he gets his shot.

There's a lot to like about him.

Being a defensive coach puts him behind the 8 ball though. And of course they'd be people saying "Why didn't you just hire Wilks?"

There's something about part of Panther fandom. Skittish on bigness (how many hated Cam's "icon" comment") but are unrealistically optimistic on the low 4th rounder drafted every year. Want no part of big names but fall in love with unsung heroes. Would run a race with a Ford instead of the Ferrari because the Ferrari uses up too much gas.

Yes, Seifert failed on round 2. Yes, Gruden failed in round 3 (and maybe part of round 2). On the flip side, Belichick was an awful failed coach in Cleveland...until he wasn't in NE (after the Jets flakeout). Dick Vermeil left coaching and came back to win a title. Pete Carroll did ok with NE, and did better with Seattle. Holmgren didn't win a title, but he always had a Matt Hasselback(!) led team in the championship discussion many years. Andy Reid finally won too.

The chances are just as good that Payton is more like Carroll and Reid than not, and he would be motivated to be on a short list of coaches (maybe the first?) who's won at two different teams.

They have a small market mindset, yet funnily enough they cry and yell till blue in the face when the national media gives us no attention because we’re a small market team…

      No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.

      I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.

      I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
