They don't need to. They had a succession plan built into his contract which was previously communicated to the league, which allows them to bypass the whole coach hiring process.

Apparently you can write in to a contract that they are promised the position if the HC leaves, and that is what they did in his latest contract

They hired a minority coach.

Why was this not known? Everyone thought Vrabel. Where are the ‘insiders’?

I was shocked as well. The rumors with Vrabel started months ago.

 

However last Sunday Teddy Bruschi a Pats legend said on Countdown that he would be disappointed if Mayo didn't get the job.

I don’t think that is enough. From what I understand you have to interview at least two external minority candidates. The only reason the could do it was mentioned above.

Mayo was the hot name last year  no surprise at all 

i felt strongly he would be the hire 

as for Vrabel, solid coach….time well tell where he lands and I’ll be the first to say, the Panthers are soft…very very soft 

the panthers could do worse than hiring him 

[Brooklyn 3.0]

That's way too fast to become a HC. I wish him luck, but damn ... he's going to be under crazy pressure. He's only been coaching FIVE years!

Washington's new owner is doing it right and we are stuck with the clown Tepper.

 

[KBRed]

Too bad we are searching for a coach and not a GM first.

Peters is reportedly planning to go all in on Ben Johnson

None of that matters if you hire an actual minority coach.

It's about the hiring, not the interviews.
