In that order?

preferably...well, preferably in that it would show they know how to put words in order, but not preferably in that i want them to be acting.

Surprised teams are so seriously interested in O'Brien with that $19m buyout standing in the way. If I'm O'Brien, the only jobs I consider are SD and Chicago, otherwise I wait for next year when possibly you could get the Cowboys, Lions, or, yes, even the Panthers jobs. I would always hold out for the jobs with the established QBs.

Just saw Garafolo's latest tweet to Gabeking, pretty interesting:

@Gabeking Not sure. My source on that, who is usually very free with his info, has it locked in a vault. Said he'll update when he can.

In response to: @MikeGarafolo you think it may be Steve keim from AZ?

I get the sense whoever we hire may be someone from out of left field...maybe even Accorsi himself...

Acorsi would be good.

More on Chip Kelly: Source said he has his eyes on some #NFL asst coaches who were let go this week, with belief he's eyeing an NFL HC job.

smart move. that is the only way that he would be able to succeed. he has to be surrounded by NFL talent on his coaching staff.

Acorsi would be good.

Be a dern site better than Kokinis.

You can also bet Accorsi would have enough clout to tell Richardson "that's not the right way to run things; this is."

Caldwell or Keim would be my guesses on the third unannounced GM candidate for the Panther's current opening.

Yep - he's a smart man. Knows he doesn't have the NFL HC experience ... surrounding himself with as much as possible would make it a much easier transition for him.

I could see Caldwell as an option.

If we do get an actual name and it's someone I haven't profiled already, I'll write up a new one.

this was one of the main things i figured on when i jumped on his bandwagon.

i just wish it mattered and that we weren't so content with a losing coach.

I don't think there's any chance it happens, and haven't even seriously considered it, but I might have a little fangasm if Accorsi was announced as the GM.

Super unlikely...but I would not be unhappy.

There is still hope.

It's still possible that JR was spending time reviewing the end of the season this week and deciding what to do and Rivera will be gone after the meeting.

I'm not giving up the chance that he won't be here next year until he is confirmed here. I hope he's not and I hope he's gone soon enough for us to find an upgrade to replace him.

I expect Rivera to be here. But I reserve the right to hope.

my hope is that JR has been spending the week with accorsi rather than sitting around relaxing.

I certainly hope so.

He doesn't strike me as stupid and that would be the prudent thing for him to have been doing.

i like Caldwell as well. guess where he started out as an assistant scout?
