Per the team site...

Perry Fewell named Secondary Coach

Quote

Perry Fewell, a coaching veteran with two decades of experience working with NFL defenses, has been hired as the Panthers’ secondary coach.

"With his background with coverages and technique I think he’ll be really good for us, especially for our young defensive backs," head coach Ron Rivera said.

Fewell, a native of the Charlotte region who coached alongside Rivera with the 2005 Bears, spent the previous two seasons as defensive backs coach for the Jaguars.

"It’s a dream come true, so to speak," said Fewell, who was born in Cramerton, N.C. "Coaching for your home team – what better joy could you get? I’m just excited to get to work."

"Perry was with me in Chicago and he was one of the guys that really helped me take the next step as far as being a coordinator in this league," Rivera said. "He helped me get to the next stage and helped my understanding of the back seven. He’s had a lot of success in this league and been a Super Bowl winning coordinator.

"It’ll be very valuable to have Perry here for me and for (defensive coordinator) Eric (Washington) with his continued development."

The 56-year-old Fewell attended South Point High School in Belmont, N.C. – about 20 minutes west of Bank of America Stadium – and played at Lenoir-Rhyne University, an hour northwest of Charlotte in Hickory, N.C. His first coaching job was as a graduate assistant at the University of North Carolina in 1985, and he ascended to the pro ranks as defensive backs coach for the Jaguars in 1998.

"Perry is very direct. Detail oriented," Rivera said. "He’ll hold the guys accountable, which I really appreciate."

 

And for those wondering...

Rivera said Richard Rodgers will continue to work with the safeties in 2019.

Good hire, I know you were talking about him years ago so at least we have a competent coach for the DBs again.

He's a good secondary coach. Pagano might have been better but I agree with this.

Of course, if the DBs play badly, Rivera will probably still fire him and keep Richard Rodgers.

Additional news from Rodrigue...

Sounds as if he's also likely to be tutoring Eric Washington.

LOL! We need someone to tutor the person who was our DC....can't make this poo up. How about you should have brought in a real DC last year and he can mentor Washington.....i mean.....holy fug does Rivera never hesitate to make himself look like an idiot.

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
