I don’t think they are considering Payton anymore. The comp to the saints is too big a pill for most teams to swallow let alone a division rival. I think the interview was more feeling out and conversation than an actual interview 

I wasn’t saying that, I had read from insiders that all the teams were waiting for the Payton domino to fall.

He was a finalist last year in miami, I suspect he is lights out in interviews and its only a matter of time before someone gives him a shot

Yea his interview was so good, it almost made Tepper and this search committee back off its experienced HC only mantra they've had since nearly the beginning.

I wonder how much Ben McAdoo played into the interview because Moore and him worked together in Dallas in 2021

Not sure,  would make sense if the team wanting experienced hc at a coordinator spot for anyone Young and first time hc is true...which seems to be the case.

Do you think he’s doing this to feel the waters for next time? 

I've heard he really wanted the Broncos or Panthers jobs. 

Broncos owners like Paton and didn't want to give him up, definitely the case in Houston. Dunno about Arizona cause that's weird and reeks of desperation on Payton's side. 

Panthers probably balked at the combination of cost per year plus control after the Rhule debacle. Also the off field concerns with Bounty gate but more importantly the pills. 

 

Think he's just being turned down for one reason or another every where he's interviewed

Summing up the process...

- Nine candidates interviewed

- Wilks given a shot

- No to Sean Payton and several youngsters

- We're the first team to make a hire

- And we have our first offensive coach in team history

Whew 😐

Next up: Hiring assistants

My guess-

possible OCs:

-Kevin Patullo

-Mike McCoy

-Brian Johnson

Possible DCs

-Gus Bradley

-Dave Borgonzi

-John Fox (Yeah the same one)

Possible STCs

-Chris Tabor

-Bubba Vetrone

      Coker has certainly earned it. Good for him.

      I don't think we don't call things aggressively, for a Canales offense, anyway. We don't have a QB who makes aggressive throws nor stresses defenses downfield. He is at a career low on 20+ attempts per game and his career 10-20 QB rating is abysmal.  That will always be a limiting factor IF you are looking for a high flying, downfield offense. I am not even that concerned about it, I just want to see effective offense and we decidedly do not possess that. A large chunk of that is Bryce. I think the second biggest chunk is Canales. All the other components(XL included) are fairly minor in comparison to those two things. I am an advocate of attempting to improve at QB. I am not focused on finding "The QB." We failed at that with Bryce. So let's just get better. If that's a one year vet or a draftee or a cheap trade or some combination of any/all, we should do that. We have to get that QB better. Bryce will fail in 2026 and we need to have REALISTIC options to take over when that happens. That ain't Andy Dalton or Hendon Hooker or Jack Plummer or Mike White or....you get the picture. Be serious about hedging that Bryce bet and not just having to make do if he struggles or gets injured.  My mind is definitely made up on Canales. It's year two and he hasn't improved much, nor do I think the bones of a good HC are there. Ron Rivera got to that point after two seasons and he was open about the changes he had to make and advice he got to make that leap in year 3. If we don't see the same after next year, how is he not just Brian Daboll?

      Not really buying it because T-mac faces stiffer competition week in and week out.
