Martin Mayhew and Tom Lewand stood in the back of the room watching the entire time he spoke. It's a smart thing to do, actually, because they don't have any idea how some of these guys are in public settings and the new coach is essentially the face of a billion-dollar franchise.<BR/><BR/>As for whether he's close to being hired, he's at least in the mix. His interview is still going on and he could come away with an offer, but I'm under the impression Ron Rivera is still scheduled to interview here tomorrow. If other finalists are brought in, they might get an opportunity to meet with the media as well.Paula Paschehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04351975379759661261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-66963098033110353312009-01-12T17:22:00.000-05:002009-01-12T17:22:00.000-05:00^that's what i'm wondering. he did graduate with ...^that's what i'm wondering. he did graduate with a degree in economics and stuff. he's a strategist in every sense of the word too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32476242.post-58070750497208213872009-01-12T16:02:00.000-05:002009-01-12T16:02:00.000-05:00He sounds very articulate and smart.
