Do we know for sure?

once again, the term "no disrespect" comes with a lot of disrespect.

Why because I personally don't like them or can't get excited about them? Me not liking someone doesn't mean I don't respect them.

I think they're all serious interviews.

i think they are all seriously delusional if they think the answer to making this team better is limited to those four guys.

because this is what follows

,but is this really what we have to pick from?

[tattoorhino]

Gruden turned 7.9 million down from the Dolphins. You think for a minute JR is gonna pay that? Well he did pay a coach he didnt like 11million and a QB who was playing for Cleveland 4 million.

[The_Cannon]

It's not too late to interview more candidate than these four. For all we know these guys could all go in there and botch their interviews or be opposite of what we're looking for.

Maybe JH wouldn't return our calls, but i doubt it.

It seems to me Richardson has decided who is he is hiring. An assistant.

This is simply bad business. Which should be surprising to all of you who talk about what a great businessman JR is.

You don't lock yourself into one option. You may have a bias but that doesn't mean you don't even interview Harbaugh, Cowher, Gruden etc...

Until you get them in for a formal interview you can't know for sure they are they best option for the team.

valid question.

Think you should open up the coach search. Heck, bring in a Gruden or Bilick just to cover your bases and at least help with the "panthers are cheap" image problem. If these four are it, I think it depends who gets beat this weekend also, might open up some spots and bring in some last minute interviews.

Good point. There may be some opening we are waiting on from playoff teams. THAT would at least get me a LITTLE excited! If we at least got a coach from a playoff contender, at least we would have something to talk about.

Any word on the Patriot's coordinators being a possibility? I would hire one in a heart beat and torture them in the back of the facility till they spill their guts on Billichick's methods.

Gruden wasn't that great at all.

Pats don't really have true coordinators currently. Belichick is the overall brain. Everyone that has come out of NE has been a complete flop.

I don't think Carolina is waiting on the playoff teams to finish. Who are you thinking of? Carolina is pretty set in stone about a DC.

[kdrh5]

Please god, don't let us hire a Patriots assistant....esp seeing as they have about a zero success rate once they leave Foxboro
