FYI...

 

The conspiracy theorist in me believes the Panthers already have a deal in place with BJ. However, they are casting this wide net to give off the impression they did an exhaustive search and everyone a fair chance.

 

Mainly this thought lives in my head based on what happened in the Giants and Titans coaching situation based on the leaked texts last year.

I believe in some capacity you have to retain Wilks. You can lose a locker room by not listening to players and we've seen how that worked out. I really feel like all of these offensive coordinators will be asked during these interviews how they see Wilks as a coordinator or coach on the staff and vice versa how would they feel working on his staff

Wilks won’t stay if he is not hired as HC. If he does I would lose all respect for him.

I think taking the approach of having Ben last is a good idea. You get to see all of the candidates propose their plan and then play that back against Ben's when he comes in. Get to see how junior/prepared his approach is based on everything that was presented.

I always assumed the coaches came to the mountain, but clearly the mountain goes to the coaches... unless a private jet is involved on Saturday.

Yep. In-person interviews with external candidates employed by other teams can’t begin until next week.

Thankfully Nick Carboni isn’t making this decision.

I wish Tepper would just forget this idea of going after washed up coaches that have already been canned. There is no Andy Reid out there. 
 

Also, what are the chances Ben Johnson secretly wants this job more than the others because he’s from NC? I am holding on to hope this is somewhat true, as BJ is starting to emerge as my personal favorite. 

[Carl Spackler]

Ben Johnson would be a cool story, but it just means you're hiring another Joe Brady as HC. He's still very raw and has minimal experience for an NFL HC. One year as an OC is not enough.

[Carl Spackler]

I don't doubt Tepper wants him the most. He's the shiniest of the shiny new toys, and that in itself is all that Tepper values. People will love him here and will be far too patient with him, because he went to UNC. But whoever makes him their HC is making a mistake.

The locker room in August will look different than it did in December. The new coach will typically bring in several of "his guys". It happens to every team that hires a new coach.
