Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper appears to have a type as he continues to make requests to speak with potential candidates for the franchise's head coach opening. Several of the candidates have a similar background of having played QB in college and/or the NFL, having worked directly with QBs, and having called played as the OC of an NFL offense. The trend continued on Wednesday as Tepper requested to interview Dallas Cowboys OC Kellen Moore. Julian Council breaks down Moore as a candidate.

Tepper also interviewed former Panthers QB and most recently Indianapolis Colts HC Frank Reich on Wednesday. Does Reich represent the perfect balance between coaching experience and offensive innovation?

Steve Wilks is Julian's top candidate but it feels pretty clear that Tepper is likely to hire a coach with an offensive background. In preparation for this inevitability, Julian ranked the non-Wilks candidates that are set to interview in Carolina.

Plus, who else should Tepper be looking to interview? Is he making a mistake by limiting his options to one particular background?
