Turns out he also played in the XFL where he was coached by Jim Skipper,  Wild.

He has never coached at the pro level though. Seventeen years of experience, all at the college level (including a few at Wake Forest).

Gotta figure the idea for this came from Eric Washington though. And it's interesting that Rivera went with a guy Washington knew rather than someone from his own past.

Given that, I'm gonna hazard a guess that Mills will be named DL coach and they'll hire someone to assist him.

Impressive resume! I feel pretty good about this hire. Also wise for him to earn his bones at the pro level as a position coach. But if his record at Air Force is any indication, he won't be a position coach for long.

Possible.  Sometimes a guy just needs a break.

He actually has more coaching experience than Washington did at the time we hired him, though Washington had three years at the pro level.  Russ has none, but was an NFL player (Washington wasn't).

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
