Panthers interview requests

[methodtoll]

Has anyone noticed that on both the GM and HC coaching search, some come from the same team?  I may be reading too much into this but it almost seems like the Panthers may want to pair a GM and coach who has already worked together before. 

Matteo+MacDonald or Matteo+Monken from the Ravens 

Greenberg+Canales from the Buccaneers

Frank Smith spent time with the Saints which Kai Harley was a part of the Saints during that time

Dan Morgan and Dan Quinn worked together in Seattle and so did Ed Dobbs as well.

it's just interesting about all the connections...

Morgan should also know Canales super well from their time in Seattle.  They were together for 7 years.

I’m fairly certain Vrabel to NE is already a done deal. You don’t let a guy like Belichick leave without a solid plan behind him. And a guy like Vrabel will have options. I’d like the Panthers to interview him (maybe you end up with Vrabel and Arthur Smith getting the band back together somewhere) but I don’t see it happening on the Panthers. My wildcard is Vrabel going to the Chargers. 

Vrabel is the best coach candidate IMO and the Chargers is the best gig.  I'd hire him today if I were them. 

Patriots is a tough spot.  Following a legend is never a fun spot.   And the roster sucks.

Listened to WFNZ this morning…seems like the consensus is Head Coach will be hired first, which is the more modern approach, I guess. Seems like hierarchy was a huge issue this year, so not sure why we wouldn’t shoot for the GM first. Prolly because Tepper wants to have the say, like the selfish narcissist he is.

Bassackwards, like most things he does.

If the Panthers hire a defensive HC, they should just stick with Evero

Panthers are looking for a combo. Not the same guy, but a HC and GM that have chemistry already. Basically they are gonna let Ben Johnson pick whoever he wants as GM. As he should.

I would do that before I'd hire some on the current interview list, for sure. Evero is definitely in my top 3-4. 

Harbaugh

Johnson

Evero OR MacDonald
