Panthers confirm interview requests for 8 GM candidates
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.
