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?

      Perfect example why Zod said they are getting rid of the Tinderbox. 😉 Segmenting which swallow has the best airspeed velocity is what divides us! Bravo Zod.

      Who needs to step up in 2026

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      I've been reading around on different websites about our team and OTAs and minicamps.  There are several members of this team that need to step up.  These are a few of mine.  Please feel free to add to the iist. 1. Bryce Young, Obviously the No. 1 person who needs to step up.  Bryce has been given everything a QB could ask for.  We have a top tier offensive line. Big WRs that can get open and make plays.  A decent running game.   Over tha past couple of years we have really put enough players in position to help him.  He has to be the guy to step up and utitlize his players. 2. Jaelan Phillips, Just because of the massive contract we gave him.  He has to be the leader of the pass rush.  He has to be in double digit sacks or the money isn't worth it.  He has to bring Scourton and the rest of the group to the top. 3. Ejiro Evero, Two years ago he had the statically worst defense in NFL history but was given a reprieve because we focused primarily on the offensive side of the ball for Young.  Last year we improved and we just didn't have enough to stop elite QBs.  This year he has been given just about everything a defensive coordinator could ask for.  IMO he has 4 cornerbacks that have impressed this offseason.  He received solid help for Brown with Hunter and Phillips. Our weakest area, LB Corp, we signed Lloyd to solidify that group.  With all the tools he has this season he needs to show why we kept him after 2024.  IMO he has no excuses this season.   Lastly, IMO is X. Legette. He has shown sporadic flashes but nothing to justify being a first round pick.  The WR room is stacked this season and any number of players from that group could make the 53 man roster. XL is going to have to show out this preseason.  At minimum, he performs well enough to possibly get a trade to a team needing a WR.  I think with T-Mac, Coker and Brazzell in the mix for the top three position we would be wise to utilize the remaining WR spots for players with a larger ceiling than XL.  Training Camp and Preseason will sort them out and IMO if XL doesn't flat out show out he's done in Carolina.  Feel free to add to this list.  And of course, your opinion.

      I'm all for it. Improved moderation sounds great. A number of thoughtful dudes and I believe 100% of the thoughtful women that used to post here have been gone for years.
