charlotte observer reporting special teams coach Richard Rodgers job is in jeopardy. 

 

Panthers special teams coordinator Richard Rodgers said Sunday he had no word on his future with the team after the unit finished at or near the bottom of a half-dozen categories in the 2014 regular season.

“That’s up to the powers that be. I just coach football,” Rodgers said.

 

Carolina’s special teams unit finished last in the league in net punting average and punt return yardage allowed. They were next-to-last in kickoff return yardage allowed. In three other categories – kickoff return average, gross punting average and opponent’s gross punting average – Carolina finished in the bottom-quarter of the league.

I'd say that deserves its own thread.

 

This one is mainly for news from other teams.

It would be insane if he is retained.  As bad as Shula is, he is worse, our ST essentially did nothing right this season.

If it's Joe reporting than we can be pretty sure he was fired after the Arizona game.

Not worried about Todd Bowles at all. His defensive philosophy is too risky to sustain success. Plus former coordinators don't always have a strong performance out of that particular unit once they become a head coach. Mike Smith was a defensive coach too.

Starting with this bit of news you probably won't like to hear...

 

Word is the Atlanta Falcons may now be targeting Todd Bowles in their head coaching search.

 

That could be trouble.

 

He coached a heck of a defense the past few years.  That is worrisome for us!

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
