Unknown why Rivera is taking his time.

Only reason I could imagine is he's waiting for Senior Bowl week when the annual unofficial job fair takes place.

In not sure if its a Rivera thing or just a Panthers one. If memory serves me correctly Fox was also slow with staff hires.

So, looking at DL Coach options...

The likely strongest candidate is a guy whose status is up in the air. Broncos DL Coach Bill Kollar is well known and well respected. He may be staying with the Broncos though. It's uncertain at this point.

Another possible is Pepper Johnson, late of the Jets. Most of Johnson's career has been spent coaching linebackers but over the last few years he's switched to defensive line. You'll probably remember him as a long time Giant, but his time there didn't coincide with Gettleman's.

For those who love former Panther players, Jeff Zgonina is an Assistant DL Coach with the Giants. Not a lot of experience as a coach but Eric Washington didn't have much either and Zgonina had lots as a player.

There's also former Chargers DL Coach Giff Smith, who's inexperienced at the pro level but has the distinction of having coached WWE Wrestler Roman Reigns in college. (Hey, that counts for something, right?)

Updates on a couple of prospects...

Greg Lewis has joined Andy Reid in Kansas City (and I'm fine with that) while Mike Groh has replaced Lewis in Philly.

On the QB coach front, the Jets are reportedly interviewing George Godsey as one of their OC options while the Redskins have hired Kevin O'Connell for their vacant QB coach slot.

Meanwhile, still no news on the Panthers front.

Perhaps, but it would still require firing the old one, and that's not been officially done yet.

Voth thinks the team is trying to let him find another job first, but so far no luck.

Imagine that no one in the NFL interested in Dorsey.  ." Doh"

I wonder how warm Brenston Buckner would feel about a lateral move to be back in the Carolinas?

I don't think he aspires for that considering the success he has had in ARZ, but I'd love to have him back here after seeing what he's done in the desert. 

I think he's rising quickly and will be a hot name in DC circles over the next few years. If Washington does leave, I hope we at least kick the tires.

He'd have to be out of contract or get permission for a lateral move (which honestly isn't likely).

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      By strato · Posted

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
