Person expects Rivera to promote Curtis Fuller

That actually made me laugh. You guys are too much.

Honestly, I understand and acknowledge huddlers' fears, but every coach starts off as an assistant---even the great ones. Who is to say Fuller isn't the next great football mind? Guys like Ray Horton have had their opportunities to move up, and so I don't think that it's necessarily wise to reject someone out of hand because they are younger and less experienced. We have to see what he does first. Plus, it's not like we've had terrible nickel backs over the years.

I'm withholding judgment.

I agree and at the end of the day, I'm a Panthers fan; whatever the record, no matter who's coaching or playing.  I just like to laugh and share that with others.

Well, it's like my 18-year-old tells me in so many words ever so often:

Being "old" and experienced is overrated. It's a new day.

He then points to YouTube, Instagram and other social media as exhibit A for the young and successful. I know that this train of thought doesn't necessarily translate to coaching, but let's just say that sometimes youth brings much needed new energy and ideas to the table to bring out the best in people.

Experience brings with it "I've seen that move before. Here's how you beat it."

Our young players have plenty of energy. And with Wilks, they also had a great source of knowledge and instruction.

Will Fuller be that also?

Unknown.

I think Steve Wilks will still be hands on with the defensive backs, having a guy he knows and has worked with for nearly four years isn't just about continuity, it could very well be a good hire. 

I can't say it one way or another, but bringing in a ''name'' doesn't mean the DBs will automatically just become great. If the coaches and players respect him then I'm good with that.

Fuller has been playing or coaching for a long time.  I doubt there are any moves that he hasn't seen and doesn't know how to beat. The only question is, how good is he at teaching the younger players? 

 

Given that Wilks will be the guiding hand on the d, I don't think this is much of an issue really.

Lol Mike Shula, your next Carolina Panthers Head Coach. 

All jokes aside, if it meant getting a new OC, Ron can move to DC and let Getty pick up a OC.  

Let Shula stand there with his bifocals on, his thumb up his butt and his mind in paradise.

one thing Rivera has been pretty good at is picking his staff,  I trust his decision because he knows Fuller better than I do. I dont see any reason to think Curtis Fuller cant succeed.

Are you sure about that. Because you know we got some guy name Mike Shula as our offensive coordinator.
