He has coached offense before.  Depends on his plan for offensive coaching.  Apparently he is impressive.

More impressive than an OC who has lead his unit to a Top 10 ranking in 3 of his 4 years?

Doesn’t matter what people say Wilks fanatics will always have excuses. Gonna be interesting how you guys spin it isn’t his fault if he is hired and falls on his face in 2023. 

Facts are excuses.  Lmfao. Plus I'm not exactly a Wilks fanatic.

What the hell is Tepper waiting on? Payton is right there for the taking! Stop wasting time!

Runs through the 2024 season

So compensation probably drops with only a year left on his contract.

Mike Kafka>Shane Steichen

Kafka learned offense from Andy Reid

Steichen learned offense from Ken Whisenhunt

At this point I think it’s Denver or back to Fox. If he was wanting Carolina it would’ve been done by now

It’s really going to come down to Steichen or Wilks for us. 

If Payton is demanding full control, I can't understand why he'd even do the interview with Arizona. They just hired their GM like last week.

Payton contract runs through 2024, it would be a trade next season as well. 

Gotcha. Well my point is still valid.

Wilks had an open tryout for the job and was badly outcoached by Byron Leftwich and Todd Bowles, That's all you need to know about his chances for HC. I would be very disappointed if we stuck with Wilks, even though I like the guy.

Actually, Steichen came from the Norv Turner tree and there is rumblings of him and Scott Turner joining forces

What I wanted was for an actual organized thread instead of everyone talking in circles saying the same poo which was the reason I thought the other was locked and this one was made. 

Welcome to the huddle

But you know that question is most likely going to be asked.

I doubt it.  Fitterer even said after this season that last years draft was a "nuts and bolts" draft and never mentioned Corral I dont think.  The question I'm sure that came up is what would you want to do to fix the qb problem.  Not, can you fix corral?

I think I'd be content with Steichen as HC with Turner as OC and Fangio as DC. I was listening to The Athletic Football Podcast this morning and they were talking about how Turner has been saddled with poo QBs his entire tenure as an OC:

• 24 games with Taylor Heinicke 
• 7 games with Carson Wentz
• 6 with hobbled Alex Smith
• 6 with Dwayne Haskins (RIP)
• 6 with Kyle Allen
• 2 with Will Grier
• 1 (partial) with Garrett Gilbert
• 1 with Ryan Fitzpatrick 
• 1 rookie 5th round pick Sam Howell

He's coached 54 games as an OC and never once had a true NFL starting QB. Podcast below (Turner discussion starts around 57 minute mark).

Also good thoughts at the top on the HC openings and basically have Texans (due to draft capital and ability to grab your QB) ranked first with Panthers second (much better roster and an owner committed to spending on a winner). Said if the Panthers had a 2nd 1st round pick instead of Texans, Carolina would be far and away the best opening.
