The Carolina Panthers and Ron Rivera are setting up a second interview for the team's vacant head coaching position. That interview is not taking place Sunday but is expected to be conducted in the next few days.
Panthers GM Marty Hurney and President Danny Morrison conducted a whirlwind tour to interview four NFL defensive coordinators this week -- included with Ron Rivera are Cleveland's Rob Ryan, the New York Giants Perry Fewell, and San Francisco's Greg Manusky.
Hurney and Morrison are scheduled to be attending the BCS National Championship game in Glendale, Ariz., on Monday before going back to North Carolina. It is believed Rivera will interview in Carolina with those two executives and owner Jerry Richardson.
Rivera took over as Chargers defensive coordinator midway through the 2008 season. The Chargers allowed the fewest yards in the NFL this season.
The Carolina job is the ninth head coaching position Rivera has interviewed for in the past six years.
