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!

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
