For the first time since 2003, the Carolina Panthers are set to hire a general manager and head coach in the same year. For the first since the foundation of the franchise, the Panthers might even hire their new general manager before their head coach. What a time to be alive.
Below is a list of candidates with whom the Panthers have requested interviews. Unlike with head coach interviews, there are fewer restrictions on who the team can interview and when during the playoffs. These interviews can begin immediately. That is the main reason why the team is expected to hire a new GM before their new HC.
