So nobody else?  That second round was really short.  I have to wonder if they do one more follow up with Wilks and Reich before making the decision.  I  actually interviewed with a company 4 times, 5 if you count the initial screening interview.  It came down to me and another person.  The other person ultimately got the spot. 

That said, I can see one more session with each of those guys...probably virtually, and the decision mulled over the weekend with the announcement coming early next week.,

My guess is sometime Friday so they can start setting up coordinator interviews this weekend for next week.

Is Reich interviewing anywhere else? Could he really be a OC candidate?

Tepper is apparently looking for offensive HC and a guy with HC experience.

Only Reich and Payton fit the bill.  Reich wouldn't cost us any draft capital.

So.......

I like Wilks in the locker room but Reich is probably the better bet to get an upgrade over Holcomb at DC honestly. Wilks would only work if they convinced him to take on coordinators outside of his comfort zone. Reich is probably more willing to make a group decision on where to go defensively. Big bonus of the offensive head coach that we've never really had. Kinda ties together the fact that we already started interviewing DC's

I'm thinking Tepper makes a decision tomorrow. No more interviews no 3rd interview for Wilks or Reich there is no reason to delay this. 

I wonder if it's down to who can get/are willing to take on the more preferred coordinators in the eyes of Fitt and Tepper. Both guys are a pretty easy PR sell, Reich is a bit more X's and O's and Wilks more the locker room guy. Have a feeling Reich would be more flexible with the DC at least.

Was excited for this coaching search but the fact it is now down to a guy who was just fired this year and a guy who probably won’t succeed because interim HC don’t really ever work out  and he failed massively at his last full time HC gig is just so anti-climatic. 
I have said it once and I’ll say it again. Panthers love their retreads.

Let's be honest, Reich shoulda never been fired from the Colts. The GM and Irsay, sure they shoulda fired themselves instead. That front office is a laughing stock. 

 

Arizona's front office from Wilks time was also a laughing stock as well and they did him dirty as is well known.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
