You can definitely tell that Tepper course corrected this time, which is good. Even if he ends up correcting too much.

By pivoted, he means they went from wanting a young OC/DC for HC to being pretty set on an experienced HC. Wanted that to be Payton but he couldn't satisfy some off field concerns with Panthers search party. (Was willing to work with GM's apparently in some situations [hence the Arizona interview] That left Caldwell, Reich and Wilks Reich and Wilks had really good interviews with the team. As for Moore, he's pretty much as far as rumors go the only one of the younger coaches to nail his interview so he made it to round 2. From the looks of it those 3 are the 2nd round interviews based on early rumors. With how quiet the Panthers have been, can't confirm with confidence at all.

Now thats interesting

He's done a really good job, was in Dallas for most of his tenure with the Cowboys. I don't think dak is a good qb either

I'm pretty sure Reich is the hire and it will be announced this evening sometime

Can't count his time in Arizona. He couldn't pick his coaches, his players, they over rode him for his top two choices at QB in one draft and took Rosen. He should've never taken the job in hindsight because of what they did to him.

This is how tight lipped the Panthers have been. Wilks second interview was last night.

Yea he got shafted by Indy like Wilks did in Arizona front office wise, not being able to pick his qb.

Usually coaches that have a chance to move up prepare a binder with offensive/defensive plans, coordinator and staffing options and a 3-5 year building plan. First interview is typically going over all of that, second one is more in depth detail on the above. those coaching binders are typically a few hundred pages long.

Behavior concerns based on the interview with the Vikings last year. He was never an option here in Carolina and wasn't on Teppers radar. I mean shoot, his agent had to basically beg to get that phone conversation.

I told you from the start it was going to be an experienced HC. The young OC interviews were to just pick their brains. Why Johnson dropped out.

They will take Stroud and only Stroud if they move up. Front office and scouts love him and it's expected that the Panthers will try to trade up for him

To add to that, since they aren't trading for Payton, expect them to go all in to move up for Stroud. Front office is in love with his as a prospect

I also think that Breer in his mmfb said Reich was leader right now, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's the choice.

I think Payton is out because I think the off field concerns from a front office was from the Panthers. To continue from the previous thread. Mr. Scot

If the rumors from Denver are correct I think it's down to Shaw and Quinn there. But yea the Panthers have been tight lipped.

Wouldn't be surprised if he gets a second as well, especially with Payton likely being out and his interview being good. I think it's pretty much down to the grouping of experienced HC's. Which is kinda what I expected when the search started.

If Payton is out because of off-field concerns from the Panthers front office (current rumor) probably a fact as well. Then you might get a hire today from Reich or Wilks. (I'd bet on Wilks if it's down to those two, which seems a possibility right now)

I told everyone it was going to be focused on an experienced HC. The young coordinator interviews were to gage where thier mindsets were at and compare plans and such. It was always going to be a experienced coach after the Rhule experiment. Why I said yesterday that I'd expected Wilks, Reich, Payton to get second interviews and Steichen if he agreed to the front office Coordinator plans for a younger coach.

Post the link and it should imbed itself automatically

Multiple Bronco beat reporters and some national ones have come out and called this flat out false and absolutely absurd. https://twitter.com/TroyRenck/status/1618068632873095174?t=QKamiw792J5Tj55jJqdfvg&s=19

Rumors going around that Wilks, Steichen, Payton and Reich will get second interviews. Don't know the validity but likely the coach is from those 4.

Josina is still saying the report from yesterday that the Broncos don't know who's making 2nd round interviews still stands tonight after that came out.

That was funny and made me spit my drink out, well done. I'll give him credit, him and his staff are recruiting their buts off. If he can coach, you'll be able to see it soon in Nebraska's record. Maybe he's just an NFL guy, that's possible... still sucks the Panthers were the guinea pigs.
