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

      Great season regardless of what happens. From starting out 4-14 to ending 44-38 is incredible progress and future is bright from here. I do think we can beat the Heat and then win on the road against either Orlando or Philly assuming Embiid doesn’t miraculously return sooner. But if not, a higher draft pick is nice too

      I know a DT that's asking for a trade: 🤔 maybe a home discount can be worked out. Dan Morgan could create up to $80 million in space through restructures of stars like Derrick Brown, Jaycee Horn, or Taylor Moton. They could also include players like Tershawn Wharton ($18.6M cap hit) in the trade to balance the salaries. Carolina Receives: DT  Dexter Lawrence II New York Receives: 2026 2nd Round Pick (No. 51 Overall): A premium Day 2 selection that fits the for  Lawrence  after his 0.5-sack season in 2025. WR  Xavier Legette : A young, high-upside receiver who provides the playmaking depth HC John Harbaugh needs for his offense. 2026 4th Round Pick: Immediate mid-round value. 2027 4th Round Pick (via MIN): Future capital acquired in the  Adam Thielen  trade.  ----- Stone Forsythe* (another young player as a potential trade option)provides immediate offensive line retooling for HC John Harbaugh.    John Harbaugh's history in Baltimore proves he values draft volume over individual superstars.    Just my 2cents

      Moved to Tuesday, not Wednes because of scheduling with Flyers game or something in Philly. But I don't feel good about the Heat.  It has been a great season regardless.  Team just been playing so hard to move up since a bad start and just picked a bad time to get gassed.  It's like almost everyone is shooting cold at the same time even wide open shots.   Maybe atmosphere and playoffs kick off a spark.  I'd rather be in a series than a one and done though. The team has a good foundation to build on regardless of what happens.
