I think they’ve already decided on their HC

They may have decided, but then why is Sean Payton meeting with them? I think he is using the Panthers to drive his asking price up for other teams. A lot of us don’t want him anyway.

I don't know why you'd be interviewing people for a coordinator role when you don't have a HC yet. Just doesn't make any sense at all.

Exactly! The HC picks his coordinators

Some of the DC candidates have ties to coaches being interviewed.

Sure it does. You bring in XYZ coach candidate and he says I would like coach xx to be my DC. And then another candidate says the same thing about the same guy. Why not bring in these guys and hear what they are about and see if you think that DC and offensive coach combo works. 
 

if you are getting a rookie offensive coach you better be sure they get the right DC.

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 doubt it. I doubt that Sean Payton would fly out here to talk to Tepper later this week if we had a handshake deal in place with another candidate. Some information travels amongst agents that don't get to the fans.  Payton would know and not waste his time considering he isn't doing in person interviews for all the teams requesting permission.

I get the logic….but correct me if I’m wrong…. no one else does this. I listen to Moving The Chains every day on Sirius radio and they were clowning us for interviewing DCs before hiring a HC….saying that it doesn’t make any sense. Pat Kirwin is a former GM that is still well connected so if other clubs were following this process, I’m assuming he wouldn’t call it stupid.

The job is open, so why not?

And if they are set in getting a young rookie offensive minded coach, would you not want to make sure that they have a DC with HC experience? I think that's what this is. It's anticipation of getting a young offensive guy. 

And if you're hoping for a guy like Fangio is is going to be heavily in demand, them you can't wait for your HC to get sorted and then figure out his staff.

They may not know the HC they want, but they've got an idea of the type guy they want and they know they're going to want a seasoned experienced vet coach with him.

I just don't have a problem with this at all.

Tepper is a clown, that’s why this is going the way it is. Fu@&er has no idea what the hell he is doing.

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. 

He said "small list" and then 20 names got leaks over the next 48hrs......

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

Yea, the "normie" fans seem to be all for wilks. Hardcore fans, like 90% want either ben johnson or Steichen. Facebook, wfnz, foodie "we want WILKS!!!". People been in mud, had the 7x broken heart, booze hounds, we seen the movie 25 times.....ready for a different show....

[Mr. Scot]

Media types who have actually talked to the coach or been acquainted with him aren't necessarily going to be objective.

Hell, some of our local radio guys were still defending Rhule right up till he was fired.
