Not sure it means anything but they said Browns only.

if it's the Josina Anderson report, she only said that he was expected to accept the Browns interview.

Ian Rapoport, Albert Breer and Jason LaCnfora have previously indicated that he's interested in the Panthers job. Rapoport said he thinks this would be a good move for his family.

It was on a ticker on the bottom screen, then it was discussed. Again, they mentioned Browns not Panthers. It doesn’t technically mean anything. Good ole John Fox is on ESPN2 talking about it.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001084451/article/expackers-coach-mike-mccarthy-eyes-nfl-return-in-2020

From a few weeks back.

I'm trying to warm up to the idea of McCarthy.  The interesting thing it appears is that he's gone heavy into the lab and self-assessment.  He's striving to get better whereas Rivera kept touting past accomplishments as some type of bar to go somewhere and wanted to go to a winner.  Mike appears to of course not want a tear down rebuild but in essence to build a winner.  I see some interesting possibilities with him.  

The other thing is how bad the GB offense turned this season.  I know Rodgers is older but it's pretty obvious this guy knows how to go in and install an offense.  Given he's reshaped his personal approach a bit in the year off, I think this may be our new coach.

Quote

The idea for The McCarthy Project sprung from a mutual desire to watch tape and stay on top of trends in the NFL and college football in anticipation of a return in 2020, and it quickly expanded into a full-fledged operation. Haslett had connections to obtain "All-22" coaches tape, often faster than even NFL teams get it. The group traveled to Cincinnati for a six-hour meeting at Pro Football Focus, which collaborated on some ideas and provided resources that expedited the process of filtering tape and creating cutups. Justin Rudd, a former DV Sport software executive, pulled together the technology.

Most mornings, Haslett (who lives in Cincinnati) and Cignetti (New Jersey) get on the phone together and talk through tape all day. McCarthy does the same in person with McCurley, a longtime Packers defensive assistant. Then for one week each month, Haslett and Cignetti travel to Green Bay and stay in the upstairs living quarters of the barn, which is outfitted with a bed, sofa and kitchenette. Downstairs, there's a full-sized gymnasium, golf simulator and exercise room. A few steps away is the mancave, its pinball machines and pool table covered up by whiteboards and laptops, with the furniture rearranged around tables to face the TV like an NFL meeting room.

"I've watched more tape this year than I've ever, ever watched in the offseason," said Haslett, a pro and college coach for over 30 years who had planned to sit out 2019 after undergoing ankle fusion surgery. "We started doing cutups. We started doing games. We started saying, 'What do you want to run? Let's look at the pass concepts.' "

How has Andy Reid successfully incorporated college concepts to flood the wide side of the field into his version of the West Coast offense? How do the Cowboys get Dak Prescott in rhythm on the deep cross? How are other teams borrowing the "Fish" concept on deep shots that McCarthy made a staple of his Packers offense? It's all been part of one long conversation throughout the season, and the Xs and Os are just a piece of it. What worked before? What needs to be done better?

"It's nice to have time to think about it, to watch, discuss, and you're not (saying), 'Hey, we gotta make this decision by end of March 'cause OTAs start in April,' " McCarthy said. "The whole 360 (degree) view, whether it's watching the games, watching the officiating, game management, scheme, technology, analytics ..."

The plan for all of it is laid out on two whiteboards, covered with notes on every scheme project they've completed and every aspect of the football operation they intend to build.

No matter where he ends up, McCarthy doesn't envision a total teardown. ("I'm not a believer in [that]," he said. "I think every one of these opportunities that will be available, there's resources in there that you have to make sure you're aware of and try to utilize.") He wants to better use technology and analytics. ("We were definitely on the average side at best in my time in Green Bay there. I've looked at every team in the league and their commitment to analytics, and football technology and video. Because everybody has analytics, but it has to be part of your everyday operation to show up on Sundays.") At the forefront of the program will be player wellness, including dedicated resources for mental health. ("You have to develop the locker room from every possible angle. It can't be a subcontractor. It needs to be part of your everyday operation.")

Said Cignetti: "Mike had a vision. Once we had the video and we had each other, the sky's the limit."

I think this guy is going to be our next head coach.

Ugh if we hire McCarthy we might as well have had kept Rivera. I swear it's always depressing to be a Panthers fan. 

If he was the #1 guy he would be hired.  They are looking at someone still playing games IMO.  McDaniels being the obvious one.

I'm not totally sure if McDaniels would come here with Hurney still in place. I can't much blame him either.
