This process for the Panthers, invites a couple of interesting questions. First, will all or most of the candidates on the list actually complete interviews, or will some of them "opt out".??  Second, and perhaps a lot more interesting, will the Panthers attempt to interview any of the failed  (fired..) HCs from last year.??  Of interest (to me..??) in particular are Bill Belichick, Mike Vrabel, and possibly Pete Carroll. Probably not my first choice (any of them..), but the interview process would be telling.  Of the three, I would probably lean toward Vrabel because of his age. Belichick is definitely the strongest personality.

It's going to be interesting -- and it's going to happen fairly quickly...

Most seem to thing Belichick to Atlanta is a thing.  I have no probs with that.

That's what I've seen too. Not sure about it though. I suspect that Belichick will not coach for too much longer. Would a team want an older coach for a couple of years, just to do it over again in a couple..??  I don't know. I have difficulty with any competitive team taking him on. A team like "us" might do it while planning for a change later (maybe.??). Or another team doing a teardown-rebuild....(possibly).

Food for thought I guess.  And YES, no problem with him going anywhere really.  I suspect the Panthers will try to "team up" a HC with the new GM. I can't see Belichick "teaming up" with anyone...

Arthur Blank is 82 so the thinking is he wants success now. Long term not necessarily a plan for him.
