The Panthers plan to promote Curtis Fuller to secondary coach, a league source confirmed. He will replace Steve Wilks, who was promoted to defensive coordinator when Sean McDermott became the head coach at Buffalo. The Charlotte Observer first reported the Fuller promotion. Fuller joined coach Ron Rivera's staff as an administrative assistant in 2013 and became a defensive back assistant in 2014. The Panthers also are close to naming a replacement for wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl. That person could come from the college ranks.

Is Rivera just trying to ensure there are no viable options for interim Head Coach, so he won't be fired in October, then he can pick up some meaningless wins to save his job again in December?

 

Look, happy with Wilkes is getting his shot.  Keeping Shula and Dorsey is hard to phathom after seeing the product on the field this year.  Fuller may work out as defensive backs coach but it's a risky move considering the youth in the secondary.  Now a wide receiver coach without any NFL experience, directly from the college ranks with a struggling WR corps? Hope he remembers to tell them it's two feet in bounds in the pros.  Sincerely hope my concern is unwarranted but feels like amateur hour over at BofA.

Wilks is the potential interim....he's already served that duty and his name even surfaced as a hc candidate this year. He's been assistant hc for several years.

They certainly aren't going to oromote a secondary or wide receiver coach to hc no matter who they are when you have an assistant hc already.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.

      I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.

      Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
