Benjamin Albright seems to think Harbaugh will be in LA, bummer for me, but I wonder if Carolina will even try?

I am sure they will ask for more permissions for coach and GM and who knows who will actually interview but the list is compiled quickly.  Maybe the recently hired group worked quickly or do you think these are the names Tepper came up with himself?

Harbaugh had also had a west coast bias before.

Ed Dodds is the best GM Candidate so far and I don't think it's that close. Champ Kelly is probably 2nd and Halaby 3rd. 

Harley is literally only the contract guy, Brown is very very new in his career with a Giants team that is struggling outside of Daboll, Tilis is meh, Matteo and Greenberg just seem like Scott Fitterer clones when you read their background. 

Dodds and Kelly also have experience dealing with over involved owners (Irsay & Davis)

Yeah, I remember that

Do internal interviews typically get announced or leaked later? Curious if they will entertain Evero. Don't seem like he is getting much attention anywhere else.

Then how are we requesting interviews with Lions OC Ben Johnson, who are entering the playoffs?

The playoff thing only applies after the 1st interview. They can do preliminary ones now but they have to adhere to the hiring process for anything more and certainly cannot hire someone in the playoffs until after they lose their playoff or win the SB.

Not feeling great about Tepper requesting interviews with GM's and HC's. Just feels like he's gonna hodge podge together another random duo. A GM that will do whatever he wants along with whatever HC he can throw enough money at to come here for a pay day. I feel like he should stick to hiring a VP/GM that isn't gonna be his little bitch and then let them work from there

HC is gonna take longer to hire than GM because of the hiring rules in place.  He'll have a GM in time to will wittle the list down for 2nd interviews and go from there.

I would think that internal interviews would be announced when interviews take place.  These lists they are releasing are request to other teams.  No need to request to interview internally
