Coaching interview updates

[45catfan]

Is the FO done with the first round of interviews now that Payton's is complete?  No more initial ones, just follow up, correct?

I would like to see people leave this thread for news or comments specifically based on informed speculation.  In other words, if you want to attack and get into arguments with other Huddlers, go away.

Having said that, I think the longer we drag things out, the more I like the chances that the next head coach is still in the playoffs.

That was the original purpose

I think it's time to come to terms that Steichen is the target.

They requested an interview with Kellen Moore.

There's also plans for Shane's Steichen when that becomes possible.

Are teams needing an HC just waiting for Payton to go somewhere before they start hiring? Is that why everyone is taking so long? 

Nah, I think most are interested in either Payton or coaches who were (until yesterday) still in the playoffs and couldn't be interviewed for a second round yet.

Houston: Rumor is they're after either Gannon or Ryans, both still in playoffs and can't do 2nd interviews until 1/30

Arizona: Wanted to settle their GM search first; interviewing Flores today and Payton on Thursday

Denver: Likely to be either Payton or Quinn - Quinn didn't interview until last Friday and Broncos in process of setting up their second round with their finalists

Indianapolis: Who fuging knows lol

I’m not saying he isn’t a great coaching prospect. I’m saying here we go again with a coach with no HC experience, and we will be in purgatory for the next two seasons. Hopefully, we can compete in 2025.

Giants, Dolphins and Vikings seem pretty happy in Purgatory with their coaches with no experience this year.

Interesting. I think a lot of us thought it would be in the evening, but I guess not.

Sounds like Tepper let him walk away unlike Rhule which is good.

Yikes, I guess they could cancel, but probably will follow through as a formality.

We'll have to wait and see if there's any other news that breaks, but if no further details come out, yeah that's how it sounds.

Philly's coach is in year two.  If that's purgatory sign the Panthers up!

So do we know if Payton has even interviewed here yet?

Literally every reporter who is quote tweeted here is just throwing poo at the wall, hoping it sticks.  So many damn conflicting reports its starting to feel like the whole Watson saga all over again.  So much disinformation and PR warfare going on, thats its almost impossible to know whats really going on.  Which is, of course, by design. 

This. I don't get why some of you believe in Twitter so much. You know what Tweet we'll want to see? PAYTON AGREES WITH BLAH BLAH BLAH. Until then it's a bunch of rumors, but some of you want to get some secret insider tid bit before it goes national. Neat, if some Tweet DID let the beans spill ... you and we'd know like an hour at most before the rest of the NFL world lol. Get off Twitter, go run some errands, come back, see if anything HAPPENED, and go on about your life. I'm really shocked Mr. Scot takes Twitter so seriously. He's older than all of us. I'd expect a teen to take Twitter as legit factual news. Not someone who didn't grow up with social media.

And if he doesn't want to coach here?
