Interviewing DC’s??

Can someone please explain to me why we are interviewing defensive coordinators? We’ve got this and what appears to be a disconnect between Fitt and Tepper on the “short” list of candidates. Fitt said it was going to be short and it’s really damn long and somehow we are interviewing DC’s now. Makes no sense and it’s strengthening the case that Tepper is a meddler. Thoughts?

I personally think it's a great idea for the interviewers to talk to mostly everyone. Networking and picking up anything that a candidate might say of value even if they are not a great fit now could be a good thing long-term. We could be looking for another coach in 2 years or 10 years so seeing who is who and what they do is a huge bonus.

It sounds, just a guess, that we are vetting interviewed coaches options to qualify them. Some theories on having made a decision already but it looks like seeing what the more complete staff would look like vs hiring a new HC and then say 'what now'. Looks like they may have learned something from the failed process last time.

I’m guessing it means we’re getting one of the offense guys to be our HC and we’re interviewing top DC candidates so that both sides of the ball are well handled. Might even mean we already have a handshake deal with the new HC and he’ll review the DC interviews to choose which one he wants

I'm not positive but I think Fitterer was being misleading about the size of the list.  He is in the middle of a poker game after all.

If this is the case, then I think it's Wilks and they're trying to assemble a rockstar staff to announce with him because they know the fanbase is gonna be pretty lukewarm on this.

Actually from  comments I have seen outside of the huddle, a lot fans want Wilks

My guess is the nfl doesn’t want anyone announcing coaching hires until after this wild card weekend wraps up. 
 

The new hires will dominant the headlines this week in between tonight’s game and next weekends. 
 

I fully expect us to have a new head coach by Thursday.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
