Panthers Fire Multiple Coaches - Eric Washington Safe

[bobsfoodbasics]

The Carolina Panthers have relieved defensive line coach Brady Hoke and assistant secondary/cornerbacks coach Jeff Imamura of their duties, the team announced today. Head coach Ron Rivera will continue to work with the defense and will handle play-calling duties while Eric Washington will oversee the defensive front seven. Sam Mills III will lead the defensive line and Rivera will work with Richard Rodgers in the secondary. “In my judgment, I felt this was best for the team moving forward,” Rivera said. “These are always difficult decisions, and I thank Brady and Jeff for their hard work. Ultimately, I’m charged with putting the team in the best position to succeed, and I felt these moves were necessary in order to do that.”

Two of the most recent hires

I'll take Scapegoats for $500 Alex.

This is the worst I've seen our defense since 2011. It's a shame too since our offense isn't anemic anymore.

[Dunn]

Glad this came after we lost 4 straight.  Just in time for the late season turn around to barely miss the playoffs! 

[KillaCamNewton]

lol. this is like taking out the kids watching the corners when you're trying to destroy a drug cartel

I disagree with half of this. Sucks for Jeff. They should have fired Richard Rodgers. 

Oh well.

Saving Washington for after we lose to Cleveland. Makes sense I guess, can't give the media all your headlines at once

[arbnranger]

You take that, Brady Hoke!

Y'all know Jourdan is already crafting that "Panthers Fire Ron Rivera" report to run in the early afternoon on Black Monday

So will Ron move Washington back to DL and take over calling plays the rest of the year?

Amazing how it takes a 4 game skid and the owner talking about making changes

[Jeremy Igo]

Seems like moves that were needed just after the Pittsburgh game.
