Hmmm . . . it's almost as if the Carolina Panthers knew they weren't moving forward with Scott Fitterer.
On Monday, not even 12 hours after announcing his firing , the team confirmed their interview requests for eight general manager candidates.
The list is as follows:
-
New York Giants assistant general manager Brandon Brown
-
Tampa Bay Buccaneers assistant general manager Mike Greenberg
-
Kansas City Chiefs vice president of football operations Brandt Tilis
-
Philadelphia Eagles assistant general manager Alec Halaby
-
New Orleans Saints assistant general manager Khai Harley
-
Baltimore Ravens vice president of football administration Nick Matteo
-
Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager Ed Dodds
-
Las Vegas Raiders interim general manager Champ Kelly
Just as in their head-coaching hunt, where they've also confirmed interview requests for nine candidates, the Panthers are not permitted to hold in-person interviews for the position until Jan. 22.
This will be the first time the organization is set to hire both a new general manager and a new head coach in the same offseason since 2002.
