Everything is revolving around the head coach the other open threads mentioning our GM spot reolve around Graves or Keim, so I figured it was time to open this thread and turn it into the FULL general manager interview tracker, applying to all NFL teams including our beloved BirdGang. Same rule apply as the head coach interview thread, provide links to the sources you're using please.

Cleveland Browns
George Paton, Assistant General Manager Minnesota Vikings
Ray Farmer, Director of Pro Personnel Kansas City Chiefs
Tom Gamble, Director of Player Personnel San Francisco 49ers

According to Glazer, David Caldwell, who spent 4 years as the Falcons Director of College Scouting before moving to Player Personnel last year, is a quote "star in the making" as told by league sources.

Can't argue with the fact that, despite playoff struggled, the Falcons are year in, year out contenders. That can't be argued. What they're doing in Atlanta is working.

It's good to keep your options open. Still want Keim really badly but I'd take another team's prodigy without too many complaints.

Glazer's twitter;

"Correction, Chargers not Cards have contacted Caldwell".

False alarm due to a typo, sorry guys.

The day isn't exactly certain but Steve Keim will be interviewing with the San Diego Chargers this week.

What I was saying was the day of the interview, which will happen this week, isn't certain. Nobody said exactly when it would take place.

Be interesting to see who else we interview, if anyone.

There is no indication of whether or not the team actually plans to interview them or not (Though with Jurecki, where's there's smoke there's usually fire...) and no intervews have been set up with any of them as of today BUT, Jurecki is saying we quote "may heard the following names in the coming days":

Marc Ross, Director of College Scouting New York Giants
Lake Dawson, Vice President of Player Personnel Tennessee Titans
Ray Farmer, Director of Pro Personnel Kansas City Chiefs
John Dorsey, Director of Football Operations Green Bay Packers

Some good looking names there for us to research further. Ross, Dawson and Farmer are all minority candidates. Interviewing at least 1 of them would fulfill the franchise's obligation to do so, per league rules.
