Big news !!!!

[imminent rogaine]

Bam! There it is. Deep-pockets-Tepper will stop at nothing.

[Mr. Scot]

Could conceivably be the "big news" but I wouldn't think so.

With all the coordinators now in place, I wonder if the team will announce the full staff soon.

[Wolfcop]

Seems like he would have been part of the announcement of the rest of the staff. Are they going to do these 1 at a time? I can see having a release for the head coach and 2 coordinators, but the rest?

EDIT: Actually, I did like that article. Gives good insight into the way things will be structured.

That was a nice touch from Rhule, I think.

NFL teams allowed seven punt return touchdowns in 2019. Carolina allowed three of those. When one team allows more than 40% of the league's touchdowns, it probably needs to fix something.

Ehh 2 came in one game when the entire team gave up after Ron had been fired. Outside of that blip, Blackburn has been great and very consistent in all ST phases since he took over. Smart to keep him here, he’s a young and bright coaching mind.

Fair point.

[Harbingers]

This basically cements Hurney/Tepper as principles.

How so?  Not judging just asking for your logic here.  Appears BBurn is a leftover assistant from the previous regime and he passed the interview.

Is there something in Rhules contract that stipulates we will give you a bazillion dollars, buyout the Baylor contract and blow up the coaching market for new NFL hires but you have to stick with BBurn on special teams?

The Panthers special teams under Rivera for the better part of a decade were either average to mediocre or just flat out abysmal. I'm good with Blackburn, but we definitely are past due for seeing some improvement of any kind in that area. Particularly with the return game. I don't imagine someone like Harbingers who is still making excuses for Rivera will have much to say about that though.
