Panthers hire assistant coach from LSU

Recommended Posts

The Panthers have done something different with their coaching staff.

They hired a guy who never worked at either Baylor or Temple.

According to Joe Person of TheAthletic.com, the Panthers hired LSU offensive analyst D.J. Mangas as an offensive assistant.

While he didn’t work for coach Matt Rhule, he does have a tie to the staff, as he played and coached with offensive coordinator Joe Brady at William & Mary, and they worked together at LSU last year.

When the Panthers made their full coaching staff announcement previously, 14 of the 22 hiredworked for Matt Rhule at one of his previous stops. And two of the eight coaches with recent NFL experience on the staff played for defensive coordinator Phil Snow in college, so familiarity is a prerequisite there. Since that announcement, the Panthers have also hired a football ops guy from Baylor as well, extending the alumni chapter in Charlotte.

At least we may have someone who is capable of filling in when someone get promoted rather than sticking with old vanilla ass guys like Shula 

I wouldn’t doubt this is part of the logic behind building this staff. We’ll have a deeper pool to promote from within rather than scrambling as we’ve done in the past,

    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep. 
    • Cooter was a good dude for sure. 
    • We both been here about the same amount of time. Whatever happened to Livermush? I know Cooter passed aways years ago...and so many others?
