This thread would be a lot better if all of the hc updates were contained in the OP

That'd require a mod. It took days for them all to be revealed, and you can only edit a post for about 5 minutes. Hell, we're still waiting on at least one more.

You can find the current list here though...

Thx, figured to aggregate everything with fun photos and all.  Didn't have time for extensive blurbs but I figure that type of info could be broken out separately.

Andy Reid got canned

I’m aware. That’s why I mentioned him specially. None of these former coaches we are interviewing have the accolades or success that he had before he was fired and hired by KC.

I'm planning on doing individual profiles, but it caught me at a busy time personally.

Should probably have at least some of them up next week.

Wilks won’t stay if he is not hired as HC. If he does I would lose all respect for him. 

Is that really a prudent decision on his part?  I brought this question up to KB on the radio, and he agreed with you saying, and I quote, "I'd leave the room flipping the double bird"

Wilks has been bouncing around the country since he was fired from the Arizona job.  At what point would he like security and normalcy in his life/career?  Additionally, outside of the pride aspect, if he truly believes in the Panthers and the players on this team would a move to DC/Assistant HC really be a demotion?

Initially, it would be a tough pill to swallow, but he began the year as the DB coach.  Raheem Morris did an commendable job in Atlanta, but then was uprooted to LA to take on the role of DC.

If Wilks is not getting any calls to interview as a HC this cycle where does that leave him going forward?  Being a DC/Assistant HC may not be a bad get.  If he stays around for a bit in that role I could easily see him getting a front office position in player development/mentoring even if there is a regime change, solidifying his future in his home town.  Odd take, I know, but as a middle aged warrior myself I know the value of being close to home.

Personally, I'd like to see Wilks HC/ Riech OC / young up and comer as passing game coordinator/QB coach

When can we interview the candidates who are currently employed by other NFL teams?

We cannot interview any of those 3 candidates (Dorsey/Moore/Kafka) this week. This week you can only interview currently employed external candidates virtually if they are not in the playoffs or have a Wild Card bye. Starting next week after the Wild Card round and prior to the divisional games on 1/22, we can conduct in-person or virtual interviews of candidates whose teams played on Wild Card weekend.

Not an odd take at all. I agree with you. 

It seems our owner wants a more progressive, offense-oriented head coach. That's not Wilks. If our owner stood up for Wilks and made sure he was given the DC role, that would indicate he is valued by the organization. It is still a promotion from where he started the year.

Now, if we choose a defensive-minded coach over Wilks, I'd consider leaving "the room flipping a double bird" if I were him.

If they are going to move away from Steve, move away

last thing needed here is buddy Ryan and Mike dikta situation 

not saying  Wilks would not do that but players might 

if they want defense go Demeco

i love Wilks but some things in the Tampa game really bothered me…a game they had everything to gain and nothing to lose
