Haven't seen anything about outside interviews for the spot vacated by Curtis Fuller yet.

Voth indicated it was possible, but if the Panthers are looking anywhere other than in-house, nobody seems to know about it.

Unless we hear otherwise, it sounds like Rivera is just gonna stick with Richard Rodgers.

Very disappointing.  We're looking at promoting a guy who was demoted because he couldn't teach special teams . . . surely, surely there is a promising young college DB coach we could reach out to.  Our secondary is so young, we really need a strong teacher in that group.

Hurney did a radio interview yesterday and said it'll likely be an internal hire, mentioned Rodgers and another (didn't catch who exactly) on staff. 

Probably Jeff Imamura.

The way it had been structured, Rodgers was the safeties coach, Imamura was the nickel coach, and Fuller was over it all and coached corners.

My guess: They'll make Rodgers the secondary coach and Imamura his assistant. Vice versa is possible but Rodgers has seniority and he and Rivera go way back (college teammates).

Steve Spagnuolo, Chuck Pagano, Ray Horton and Dennis Thurman are all available.

Seems too late to do anything but promote someone internally.

Steve Spagnuolo is one of the best secondary coaches in the league. He cut his teeth under the same system as Rivera and McDermott, and he's currently available.

Richard Rodgers was reassigned to safeties coach so that Rivera didn't have to fire him as special teams coach.

      Sorsby and the supplemental draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.

      I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.

      Freeling got some reps at RT when they gave Moton a rest day--I sorta hope Freeling gets brought along slowly as you describe.  It would be better for him for reasons you provide.  We have a really good problem.
