Breath easy. You usually are. 

I picked the Ravens to win the SB.

I said we needed a #1 WR and told everyone Mingo and TMJ was not it.

Told everyone in the preseason Frank was going to be a bad HC.

 

Put some respect on my name!

The scouting department needs to be completely gutted. Hopefully the new GM can build a competent one that doesn't involve David Tepper at all. 

Not sure if it’s the scouting department, or if the management does not respect their evaluations.

Would think we at least talk to BB

I think so. Atlanta is pushing through their Rooney Rule folks as fast as they can though.

While Johnson has had very good results in Detroit and I think he will be a fine Head Coach, I imagine expectations for him will be high since the media has fanned the flame on him this last two seasons. He is going to be very careful where he goes and attaches his name. Chargers, Seahawks, or maybe the Commanders.

Dumb question but who is interviewing these coaches? Is it Tepper and Dan Morgan? 

Being kept pretty quiet. I think its a smaller panel than before.

Best guess right now, who do you think we get?

Why do I not find comfort in this?

As for GM/HC search, I don’t know. I imagine going back weeks ago they already had candidates preemptively ranked into levels or tiers. I think the candidates that you are seeing them target for the GM search clearly points towards the organization wanting a contracts/cap guy in that role for one of two reasons.1) Bring in a guy like Harbaugh, Vrabel, or Belichick. OR 2) Let Adrian Wilson and Dan Morgan evaluate the players and the new guy count the beans.

I imagine the Panthers will take a shot at Ben Johnson and some of the bigger names but to be honest, it’s probably not going to happen, and they probably have a plan for that. If I had to guess, Johnson, Slowik, and Macdonald is on top of the list. The next group would probably consist of the more experienced guys I already mentioned. Having a GM like they are targeting would give you the flexibility you may need in coaching cycle of such high volume.

My personal guess? Johnson is out of the equation so they will take a swing at Slowik and Macdonald and if that falls through, they will settle for Vrabel if he doesn’t land in New England. (Keep in mind Mayo is well liked and the Patriots don’t have to apply the Rooney Rule to hire him based on his contract). If plan B falls through, hold on to your seats.

Mostly just my opinion but there you go.

It’s too early to tell and with them being in such a sensitive position regarding optics and potential rejection embarrassment just for asking somebody to talk to them about a job, I expect it to be pretty quiet. With the advisory group also assisting, that’s going to add a whole other layer to controlling what information gets out. This group was likely hired to facilitate the entire process and not just for lining up interviews or providing input.

My honest opinion based off of rumblings I’ve picked up and observations... I think David Tepper is taking back control of the team in a way. I don’t know how many of you picked up on it in his press conference and even going back to interviews last year but many have alluded to everything being “voted on” or “collaborated via committee” and since Scott Fitterer’s arrival that is how things have been ran. Scott himself even stated this was the type of leader he was on multiple occasions. Nicole Tepper even has this directly in her biography on the team’s web page.

“She's most comfortable serving in-person on the front lines – through providing words of support and encouragement, volunteering, and financial donations. She believes in a team-first approach to decision-making and leadership, emphasizing collaboration rather than solo decision making.”

This is another sign that points towards this large group of folks voting on things like a council meeting. I believe that way of leading has been balled up and thrown into the trash and the team is starting new and trusting a group that has helped the 49ers, Eagles, and Rams work on themselves (all three of which are currently in the postseason).
