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.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)

      looks like the Lions and Bangles should forget about the playoffs, trade everyone they can, and start over.
