When will the Panthers hire a new HC?

Make your guesses here. Educated or not.

I think they will do a second round of interviews this week and make the decision early next week.  Tuesday's seems to be the day for big news in the Panthers organization (1/31).

I doubt the decision is made (public-- the organization may know by then) any earlier than this coming weekend. On the other hand, I don't think it comes any later than Super Bowl week--so no later than 2/6.

Pulling for San Fran next week so we can finally interview Steichen in person.

Whenever everyone declines our offer and we pathetically have to crawl back to Steve Wilks.

He is my #1 guy now. Don’t want to give up a bunch of picks for SP.

I am curious to see who makes the cut if second round interviews are in order.

Also curious to see if any of our interviewees get poached by the time we make our decision. Whether they were in serious consideration here or not.

That is another interesting question that could be asked. Where in the order of available open positions will we fill our coaching vacancy?

I honestly think it’s just going to come out of the blue. 
 

Some random phone notification when nobody thinks anything is going on and it’ll be somebody the majority wasn’t expecting.

SP on Friday. We sell him on coming here today but it takes some time to hammer out the trade negotiations with the Aints

As leaky as our organization is, I would expect that to be in the press quickly. One would wonder if that would lead to the cancelation of the Denver interview, as well. That would be a dead giveaway. 

I think the Payton process is going to be dragged out. There is no real rush on his part because he also has the option to spurn all the suitors and wait for a better deal next cycle.

I feel if SP is not hired during or right after his interview he will end up in Denver.

I think it's all but a done deal.

I am not 100% convinced he is married to returning to coaching this offseason.
