Chudzinski, 44, has never been a head coach before at any level. He interviewed with owner Jimmy Haslam and CEO Joe Banner on Wednesday. ... Last year, Chudzinski interviewed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, St. Louis Rams and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, according to the Charlotte Observer. Still, he has yet to become a head coach.
