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.

      No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"

      You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
