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.

      NFL Free Agency

      Rico is 0%. I think we would really like to have Mays back but we have a value in mind and aren't willing to overspend. I think someone probably will so I think the odds are pretty low but not zero.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA
