Gettleman is also in today. Leaves Paton, Beane interviews for Friday.

Hadn't seen it anywhere.

No one on Thursday?

Updating the other ongoing GM quests...

Cardinals

First to the finish line (though you could say they had a head start). Hired in-house guy Steve Keim.

Jaguars

First to hire an outsider. Tabbed Dave Caldwell from the Falcons.

San Diego Chargers

Still undecided between Jimmy Raye and Tom Telesco. Raye is still generally believed to be the favorite but Telesco was granted a second interview.

Kansas City Chiefs

Have checked into Ray Farmer, Tom Gamble, Tom Heckert and John Dorsey with Dorsey believed to be the favorite.

Browns

Not much new info. Have requested permission to interview George Paton, Ray Farmer and Tom Gamble. Beginning to wonder if there was ever any substance thing to the Mike Lombardi rumors.

Jets

An utter mess. Tom Gamble reportedly bombed his interview and Dave Caldwell bolted back to Jacksonville after his second. Word they're now reaching out to Telesco and Dolphins Assistant GM Brian Gaine. Would seem clear they're not sold on Ross (or he's not sold on them) seeing as they've already interviewed him but are still looking for more options. Gotta wonder if The Woody and Rex show may be scaring off good candidates.

I don't think gamble bombed it as much as he was saving himself lol. He didn't wanna get stuck with Ryan as the coach.

Been checking his Twitter every once in a while but must've missed that one.

My phone and PC are both a little funny with Twitter sometimes. Don't know why.

They might be in Tomorrow and if that's the case you might see a second interview or two on Friday, then a decision on Saturday.

In addition to Lake Dawson, #Panthers will interview #NYG sr. pro personnel analyst Dave Gettleman for GM job today, per a league source.

By 'they' I'm guessing you mean Richardson and Morrison, maybe Accorsi.

Last two interview candidates in Beane and Paton. Paton might be flown in tomorrow, second interviews on Friday and Saturday (If needed) Then decision on Saturday or Monday.

Saving the best (Beene) for last? LOL.. the writing is on the wall. Yes Sir. Rivera's guy is someone whos on board with him for next year too... They are all brainwashed. I told myself a long time ago, never trust a business man with white socks...

Paton will be in town on Thursday.

A person familiar with the situation says the Carolina Panthers have interviewed New York Giants senior pro personnel analyst David Gettleman and Tennessee Titans vice president of player personnel Lake Dawson for their vacant general manager position, the Associated Press reports.

The person also says the Panthers are scheduled to meet with Minnesota Vikings assistant general manager George Paton on Thursday for the GM position. The person spoke to The Associated Press Wednesday on condition of anonymity because the Panthers have not made the interviews public.

[Mr. Scot]

I thought his first name was "Joe", not "The" :lol:

LMAO. That was funny as hell for some reason.

On a serious note, Paton is the only one confirmed tomorrow. I think that Accorsi interviewed Beane during the season at some point. He might not interview this week.

Dawson would be an excellent hire. My friends who work in the NFL think he's a great choice. Do you think there's any chance we keep Beane?
