Looking at this, it seems that we may have narrowed it down and looking at whoever wanted this guy as a DC.  They seem to be vetting it out, to get a good feel on if it(staff the coach likes) makes sense.

To me it looks like they're trying to get the rooney rule interviews out of the way because they already know who they want to hire, whether that be Wilks or one of the rising OCs out there.

The fact they have been blasting out requests to all these minority coaches the past few days makes me think they already like Wilks to take over next season.

Just my guess though.

I can't read, it's for a coordinator position.

The tweet said they're considering him for a coordinator position, so I don't believe this has anything to do with the Rooney Rule.

This says for a Coordinator  position. Therfore it doesn't qualify for the Rooney Rule. This is pointing towards a staff that someone wants assembled.

fug yeah. I don't know what it definitely means as far as the HC, but that we're probably hiring an OC as HC and getting a much-needed DC to pair up with him.

The more I think about it, the more it is definitely  pointing away from Wilks. I'd assume Wilks would want to keep Holcomb as DC, so you are on to something.  We just interviewed  Shane yesterday  virtually  but it seems steam is picking up between him and Ben Johnson.

Only link I can find between the HC candidates and Manuel is Ken Dorsey. They played together at Miami for 3 seasons.

Definitely  something to keep an eye on. I'm not the biggest Dorsey fan out of the selections but don't hate him.

      Bryce among the 7 players Mark Ross of NFL.com guarantees will get better this season. Today, I am identifying seven players who I guarantee will improve on their 2024 output in the 2025 season. Young took tremendous strides in 2024 after returning to the starting lineup in Week 8 following his benching. He looked far more comfortable in his return and produced with consistency, as he threw for 2,104 yards with 15 TDs and six INTs in the final 10 contests. Most important perhaps is Young's confidence grew immensely down the stretch, leading Carolina to either a game-tying or game-winning drive in six of those games. Now he enters his second season in Dave Canales' system with his best supporting cast to date. The Panthers drafted wide receiver Tetairoa McMillan eighth overall to pair with Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette, who I also believe is poised for a breakout campaign this fall. The 18th-ranked rushing attack from a year ago added Rico Dowdle to complement Chuba Hubbard, giving the team a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The Panthers have taken the necessary steps to ensure Young's third season will be the best of his career, and now it's up to him to not only continue to grow as a player but prove why he was worthy of being taken No. 1 overall in 2023. I believe that's what he will do. https://www.nfl.com/news/which-nfl-players-will-improve-in-2025-c-j-stroud-deebo-samuel-among-guaranteed-risers

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      While it's fair to question how impactful a player's relationship with a coach is (especially if someone has questions regarding said coach), it's important to also evaluate the difference between the players here. Jordan Fuller was pick #199 in the 6th round while Justin Simmons was #98 in the 3rd round. Jordan Fuller might have gotten a Super Bowl ring while he was with the Rams, but he got it while on the IR. Justin Simmons, on the other hand, is a x2 Pro-Bowler (2020, 2023), x4 second-team All-Pro (2019, 2021 - 2023), and was the NFL co-leader in INTs (2022). Simmons has also fallen off in the last couple of seasons though, grade-wise. He very well might not be that same player, which could be why the Falcons have elected to replace him with Fuller. As far as getting the best out of what he has, asking him to produce with a starting DL of A'Shawn Robinson (63.56% of the defense's snaps), LaBryan Ray (51.48%), and Shy Tuttle (50.08%) isn't reasonable. Wonnum only played in 8 games, but had the second most % of snaps (37.27%) at EDGE behind Clowney (53.53%). The second-string DL based on snap % was... and don't read this if you just ate... Charles Harris (34.48%), DeShawn Williams (27.67%), and Nick Thurman (19.7%). The second-string EDGEs based on snap count would be DJ Johnson (32.27%) and Cam Gill (18.14%). With the investments made in the run defense this season though, especially on the defensive line, it's more than fair to demand a complete turn around from last season.
