My guess is Steichen, Wilks, Reich get 2nd interviews.

I agree. Maybe they'll also bring in one of whoever they liked best between Dorsey/Kafka/Moore as well, but I think this is a Steichen or Wilks race with an outside shot at Reich.

I still don't get this asinine line of thinking. By his definition, only Wilks is "all in" on the Panthers because everyone else we've interviewed has interviewed elsewhere too?

Exactly. I wouldn’t be opposed to Wilks if I knew he wouldn’t torture us with Al Holcombe like Rivera did with Eric Washington. 
 

Eric Washingtons play calling makes Al Holcomb look good. Dude dropped 350+ pound dontri poe into a zone and send one of the best coverage linebackers ever to blitz into a triple team.

It just makes too much sense, they got hit hard in the media for hiring black HC's who they subsequently fired after giving them only one season.  On top of all the Watson stuff they had to deal with, looking at a minority hire always made sense for them if there was a good fit as it helps them from a PR standpoint.

Add in that he's one of the better players in franchise history and it just seems like it's too obvious of a fit for both sides that it is bound to happen.

Like I said, don't give him a choice. New coordinators if you want the job. 

Looks like that's what we want to do with prospective new offensive minded coaches...choose their DC for them. it shouldn't be a problem for Wilks anymore than it would be for those other guys to have coordinators chosen for them. after rhule insisting on his college crew come with him, i think that we have more than enough reason to be skeptical and even a bit controlling of an HC wanting his own crew. 

Get the best coordinators possible, not necessarily the ones that the HC feels most comfortable with.

I do think for Ryans it's Houston or bust (aka staying on as DC in SF for another year). He pulled himself out of consideration for the Colts and Cardinals jobs. Denver is reportedly looking to hire someone with previous HC experience (Quinn or Payton) given they they've flamed out with 3 straight coordinator hires.

I'll be very angry if this happens, but nothing against that guy.

It will have everything to do with us not even interviewing 2 of my personal top candidates who are DC's, one being Ryans which I detailed above, but the other being Quinn.

If we hire a young DC with no HC experience without even interviewing Quinn, it would very much upset me, particularly with Tepper having said he would like someone with previous HC experience early in the process.

If Payton is a no go, I’d love Reich. We need a coach with experience. These 2 year coordinators are everywhere and they don’t have experience, yet.
