Yeah, could be it but I swear I saw someone posting that the Panthers were quietly going away from Ben Johnson... I am going to research it a little more... Could just be someone talking out of their arse though.

I read it as well…I saw it in twitter bit I thought it was on pantherswire or some such

Question to ponder before entering deep, intelligent, objective discussion:  After hiring Morgan, if we hire Evero, will it appear that Tepper could not get anyone from the outside to board his wrecking train?

I believe if Evero gets hired as an HC elsewhere we get a draft pick, so I’d be down with that.

Has to be here for 2 years before we'd get the comp pick.

Part of why they're blocking lateral moves for him I'm sure. 

Hell be retained as DC for whoever we hire if he doesn't get the job.

it will be very disappointing if, after firing everyone at the top, we make no significant changes, and keep plodding along in the same direction. i can’t imagine anyone advising Tepper would suggest “keep the faith” is the way to success.

So Quinn and Slowik received initial interviews with us, are reportedly being called in for round two for teams but not with us yet. Will be interesting to see if that changes. If it doesn’t, it makes me think we’re really narrowing our focus on 1-2 names.

I’ve tried to hold out as much hope as I can but it would be very difficult to argue this if things get to that point

With the silence on the Ben Johnson & Mike Macdonald fronts, Evero, Canales and Morris seem to the remaining lot.  

Not seeing much on Quinn, Callahan is in TEN, the other Johnson is out, the rest don't seem to have traction.  

I'm still throwing my hat in the Canales ring.

It definitely feels like that’s most likely right now. The Morgan ties, and he seems like the type that would definitely take/embrace this job

It sounds like Canales is going to be the guy.

Yeah, a ton of smoke around him.

Supposedly his brother hinted to some podcast yesterday that things were being finalized.

It's only silent because nobody can talk to them this week.

There were reports last night of teams requesting second interviews with Macdonald
