I'll replace the placeholders for McCloughan and Kokinis with profiles of Lake Dawson and George Paton.

Expect a load of "Patton" jokes if he's the guy :lol:

Also word is that a few teams are using Ross for the Rooney rule. Take that for what it's worth, that could be why he's not getting any serious job offers.

Beane....

That thought occurred to me.

It'd be sad, but it's plausible.

[Mr. Scot]

Beane....

Beating out four viable candidates?

Wouldn't bet on it.

[Password is Taco]

Magic Beane.

[Kurb]

Paton from the Vikings is coming in.

Panthers next will begin interviewing GM candidates on Monday. Acting GM Brandon Beane very much in the mix .

[Mr. Scot]

Saw that.

Still wouldn't bet on it.

It'd literally be like promoting a baggage handler to CEO of Southwest Airlines.

For whatever you think of Richardson, I'd like to believe he's not an complete idiot.

[Mr. Scot]

Here's an odd little factoid.

With the exception of Dave Gettleman, every single candidate that's been listed for our GM job is younger than head coach Ron Rivera (age 50).

Nearly all others are in their 40s except Marc Ross, who's 39.

[Mr. Scot]

Changed the order of the candidates around some so that it makes more sense.

Decided to go ahead and try and get some more research done today as opposed to tomorrow (when I'm more likely to be busy).

Keep thinking we're intervieweing George S. Patton xD

The Carolina Panthers’ search for a general manager won’t be limited to the borders of the United States.

Long-time Canadian Football League general manager Jim Popp is getting some attention and likely will be one of five or six candidates to interview for the job next week, according to league sources. Although Popp has spent the bulk of his career in Canada, he does have some ties to the Carolinas.

He also goes on his beane binge again in the later paragraphs.
