Person expects Rivera to promote Curtis Fuller

[Mr. Scot]

Panthers to promote from within to fill DB Coach job
 

Quote

Rivera values continuity on his staff. He stayed in-house to fill coordinator openings when Rob Chudzinski (2013) and McDermott left to become head coaches.

Fuller, 38, joined Rivera’s staff as an administrative assistant in 2013 before moving to an on-field position the following year as a defensive backs assistant. Fuller worked with the team’s nickel backs the past two seasons.

Fuller will assume Wilks’ former duties in coaching the Panthers’ cornerbacks, a group that included rookie starters James Bradberry and Daryl Worley in 2016 following the departure of Josh Norman and a couple of veteran corners.

Indeed.

No offense to Curtis Fuller, but with a group of young corners that'll need a lot of coaching, this is not the way I would have gone.  Not when guys like Ray Horton were out there.

Thats what I figured would happen. We really need a quality WR coach.

rivera's growing his coaching tree

 

[SOJA]

continuity with the WRs spells a further decline in play 

[punkpanther]

maybe J.R and Gettleman will "promote from within" come october when Rivera is canned.

Like I've said many times, as long as Rivera is here this team will never win a SB. Blows my mind that 2015 roster was able to achieve what they did with this coaching staff. 

This entire FO/coaching staff is in over their heads.

Lol Mike Shula, your next Carolina Panthers Head Coach.

rivera is clueless

I'm starting to dislike Ron Rivera as the HC. He has no balls when it come to making decisions.

It goes to the other threads. He values continuity and doesn't take risks. Instead of taking a chance to get better, he'd rather play it safe and know it won't be horrible.

Unless Gettleman knocks it out of the park in the draft and FA, I am starting to worry about 2017. The whole "evolve" story is a bunch of BS.

playing not to lose is the Rivera way

 

riverboat, lol

Everyone has to get their start somewhere. I won't judge the guy until we see what the secondary looks like under him, but I can't say I'm excited about this.

Always like it when we can promote from within. Helps let other coaches know that there's room for growth within the franchise rather than having to follow somebody out the door to progress their careers.
