Panthers interview requests


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Has anyone noticed that on both the GM and HC coaching search, some come from the same team?  I may be reading too much into this but it almost seems like the Panthers may want to pair a GM and coach who has already worked together before. 

Matteo+MacDonald or Matteo+Monken from the Ravens 

Greenberg+Canales from the Buccaneers

Frank Smith spent time with the Saints which Kai Harley was a part of the Saints during that time

Dan Morgan and Dan Quinn worked together in Seattle and so did Ed Dobbs as well.

it's just interesting about all the connections...

Morgan should also know Canales super well from their time in Seattle.  They were together for 7 years.

I’m fairly certain Vrabel to NE is already a done deal. You don’t let a guy like Belichick leave without a solid plan behind him. And a guy like Vrabel will have options. I’d like the Panthers to interview him (maybe you end up with Vrabel and Arthur Smith getting the band back together somewhere) but I don’t see it happening on the Panthers. My wildcard is Vrabel going to the Chargers. 

Vrabel is the best coach candidate IMO and the Chargers is the best gig.  I'd hire him today if I were them. 

Patriots is a tough spot.  Following a legend is never a fun spot.   And the roster sucks.

Listened to WFNZ this morning…seems like the consensus is Head Coach will be hired first, which is the more modern approach, I guess. Seems like hierarchy was a huge issue this year, so not sure why we wouldn’t shoot for the GM first. Prolly because Tepper wants to have the say, like the selfish narcissist he is.

Bassackwards, like most things he does.

If the Panthers hire a defensive HC, they should just stick with Evero

I would do that before I'd hire some on the current interview list, for sure. Evero is definitely in my top 3-4. 

Harbaugh

Johnson

Evero OR MacDonald

    • Here is how this draft could get mind-blowingly complicated--Interesting comment about Jags floating the Jeanty idea to lure Chicago into a trade.  I have to think Ben Johnson is going to duplicate in many ways the success he had in Detroit, and I have to think their free agency was following the blueprint Carolina designed last year (one that the Saints designed before them with Brees) and they upgraded all of their interior linemen.  RT in Chicago is set; Johnson loves RT Darnell Wright.  However, at LT, Braxton Jones is coming off a December injury and is considered to be in a competition for the position this year by at least a few fans on the Bears Wire.  His PFF score, however, was solid, posting an 80+ score in pass protection and 70+ score in run blocking.  He is in his prime.  However, in some of their fan mocks, the Bears are taking a LT.  I thought they needed an Edge to play 4-3 strong side across from Sweat, but they signed Odeyingbo to a pretty big contract in March. For the Bears, in my view, it comes down to TE or Running Back. Kmet is their #1 TE and he had 474 yards in that role, which was 25th in the NFL last season for TEs.  Adding Warren would help upgrade the TE spot and give them the ability to add around an estimated 80 yards of production per game.  The Bears have D'Andre Swift at RB, but could use a RB to pair with him for a desired 2 RB attack.  So if I am Da Bears, I stay at 10 and take Warren.  If the Jags want to move on from Etienne, then they will take Jeanty. I think, if I were the Jags (with 10 picks this year) I would take Mason Graham and not try to get an 11th pick.  It is a need position, and it seems to me the only reason they are toying with the idea of moving on from Etienne is because Jeanty is on the board.  That, to me, would be a luxury pick. New GM, I think he does not get cute--they take Graham if they stay at 5.  I might say the Jags' biggest need is Corner.  #5 is too rich for Will Johnson, but remember, they have 10 picks.  could they move up with Cleveland and take Hunter, giving them a CB and WR threat?  To me, with the draft capital they have, that is the move they should make.  Cleveland then could move back to #5.  Remember, Nick Chubb is an aging (29) free agent coming off an injury--so he is gone.  With an additional second rounder, the Browns move back and take Jeanty to give Flacco a running game. The Jags pick is very interesting, but I would not be surprised to see them move up. 
    • Walker is a good player and comes from a great defensive minded school but there a questions about him. He could be a superstar or bust.  You trade down and will get a player with similar concerns and you jump into the middle of the second round where there are some good players.  YOU'RE not getting a 1st next year and a 2nd for 8. These mock simulators give you fair value for the most part. I've tried and most counter offers were rejected.  We trade down get a good first round graded player and jump into the middle of 2nd round and not having to wait for 57.  Plus if a stud falls to the late first or early 2nd round we could package 46 and 57 and get him. 
    • It's just a burden to throw a dart if you're so green. Dan has his work cut out for him.
