This makes sense when you consider that Al Holcomb was the interim DC and that the Rooney Rule was updated in 2021 to require at least one external minority candidate be interviewed for a coordinator job.

So the same will happen for the OC position. Probably sooner than later.

Interesting and good to hear as I’m not a fan of Manuel at all, he was pretty terrible with the Falcons as DC

...a position he's held before.

You never know, that was like 25 years ago.  Wouldn't be the first coordinator to go back to his former team.

Not that I expect it to happen, but it would be awesome.  I'm sure he'll be a DC again.  Maybe he goes with Sean Payton, but if he doesn't?  There aren't a whole lot of teams looking for a DC.  Wouldn't hurt to inquire.

Technically Payton has to go somewhere himself first.

What's funny to me about this idea is that Fangio's defensive concepts are used all over the league, but the young coordinator who found an exploitable flaw in them and rode it to success was...Ben Johnson 🤔

I wonder if Manuel has any connections to any of the candidates so far? He was in Seattle with Fitt but that's all I found. 

There are many connections beyond work/college ones among NFL coaches. There are a lot of friendships made along the way and friend of a friend introductions are really commonplace.

My thinking is that he's being interviewed here as part of getting back to the Panthers identity and reinforcing what Wilks has been rebuilding. Or it could be a Frank Reich thing just as easily.

If you're looking for links to Manuel though, I think this is the guy you should probably be focused on.

They were teammates for a year in Carolina. Manuel also played a few years in Seattle while Morgan was in the Seahawks front office.

(which, incidentally, would also link him to Scott Fitterer)

This is called homework.  Learn to do it before posting, younglings.

Do you think Payton goes somewhere this year, or does he wasn’t until next year when he is done with his contract with NO?

      Joint Practice - Jets

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
