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.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
