Interesting. I knew it was supposed to be sometime this week, but I had not seen anything. Did the Twitter source indicate how the interview went?

LetsGoDU.com has a version of the interview, but could be "alternative fact."

GM Dale Tallon interview today with WQAM Radio reported by NBCSports:

“We’re looking for a modern day guy, a good communicator and a good teacher,” Tallon said, per WQAM radio. “Someone who is firm, but fair and can think outside the box a little bit, because creativity is important too as far as how you differentiate yourself from other teams playing a similar system.” Montgomery aside, Tallon and the Panthers sound like they’re casting a wide net to find Tom Rowe’s replacement. The club reportedly reached out to Vancouver with interest in former bench boss Willie Desjardins. The Miami Herald floated the possibility of bringing in ex-Habs coach Michel Therrien, who resides in South Florida. Montreal radio station 91.9 Sports also connected Therrien to the gig.

Put it all together, and the coaching decision doesn’t appear to be a rush job. Tallon all but cemented that last month, when he said there “are some candidates that are in the playoffs that we can’t talk to,” adding he might wait “until at least mid-June” to make a hire.

Montgomery will have a second interview with Florida at the end of the month, but DU is trying its best to get him to stay.
