Can't say for certain, but it honestly sounds like the Panthers didn't bother requesting.

So basically, we wound up pursuing neither Payton nor Harbaugh.

Which makes sense because both of those guys would want complete roster control. Rhule scared Tepper from doing that again, plus I think he told Fitt he gets to be a real GM this time.

Screams loud and clear that we either know we're sticking with Wilks or that we know that we're going offense.

Yeah if we go with a defensive guy it’s Wilks. I have a feeling we want Johnson though. Plus we interviewed way more offensive guys which makes me think we are leaning that way…

I have to say that I agree with this. So at least he is learning from his mistakes.

I neither agree nor disagree. I think certain guys are deserving of it. Rhule was not. So because he was a dumbass and gave roster control to the wrong guy, now he’s not interested in the absolute top tier coaching candidates because they want roster control. It’s just over correcting.

Maybe in the past, when the game was simpler and there weren't additional factors like a salary cap to deal with, I'd have agreed.

These days though, it's highly rare to see that sort of model work.

Overall, I'm not a fan of Tepper's football decision making, but in this case I think he's getting it right.

Not being in the running for Harbaugh and Payton is just such a nice gift after the last couple of years. 

Ryans is kind of confusing to me. I didn't want a defensive guy but he is such a better coach than Wilks that if we were to end up hiring Wilks and not interviewing the much better candidate than it's a very bad sign going forward that there is a lot more to learn. That's like hiring Rivera over McD. It's offensive or bust looking at the candidate list post Ryans. Lol at Mayo and not Ryans. They need to talk to Ryans because that is the kind of DC you pay for with a black check and then again when he is getting HC interviews.

I agree, the coach needs to focus 100% on coaching. They will obviously be working with the GM, but you need to separate the duties.

Do we know which side cancelled the interview for now?

I'd imagine Ryans decided to postpone since he has a playoff game today. Seems like it would be a bit of a distraction for him and the defense

Latest news makes it sound like it's not gonna happen at all.

Possible reason...

I think that was probably the plan for McDaniels but Belichick screwed him out of other opportunities so that bridge might be burned.

What does this have to do with whether Demeco Ryans decides to reschedule his interview after the 9ers game today?

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
