Although I'm pretty sure it's happened before, I can't actually remember the last time I heard of a position coach being fired during training camp.

That must have been one hell of a "difference of opinion" 😕

What's the problem? Rivera is the head football coach. He can't be held hostage due to who someone's father was.

It’s just odd to see that happen in TC no matter who the person is.

It is.

Throw in also that staff decisions were never exactly Rivera's strong suit (remember how long he held on to Eric Washington as his DC).

It's possible that Mills wasn't up to being a position coach. Don't know. Again, this is one of those things where I'd like to know more details.

And the fact that Rivera was notoriously loyal to his assistants.  Very surprising.

And worked with the elder Mills...

Throw in too that Mills III made the choice to follow Rivera to Washington.

I'll say it again. I really want to know the details of this story.

Speaking of Washington(not the team), the other Washington... Eric Washington. What ever happened to that guy? Iirc he was pretty bad at DC but pretty good at Dline coaching.

Especially considering Rivera has a long track record of keeping assistant coaches well past their expiration date. Firing him now means there's a decent chance he should've been fired a year ago... Feel bad for him but his name shouldn't make him different than any other assistant coach, and most of those guys bounce around too. He'll land on his feet somewhere.

His name shouldn't play any role.

With that said, it's not like Ron Rivera has exactly earned the benefit of a doubt when it comes to staffing decisions.

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      By Icege · Posted

      The draft isn't a vending machine where you insert a pick, press A3, and out pops a franchise cornerstone. It’s more like a gacha game - you turn in a premium (or non-premium) ticket, hear the fun little jingle, and wait to see what you pulled... without knowing how strong it'll actually end up. League-wide, the average draft hits on about 30 - 40% of its picks when teams have a standard seven selections. So if you walk away with 3 - 4 real contributors... that's considered a solid class. Hitting on 4 out of 11 is right in that range. To be clear: this isn't some veiled endorsement of Tepper, Fitterer, or Rhule. It’s simply an honest accounting of which players from that class are still with the Panthers and heading into their fourth year - and thus outlasting the average NFL career. Just trying to lean more toward more critiquing with clarity, not just lighting it all on fire for the spectacle of the flames.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Please do not forget that everything the NFL does is for the increase in revenue. If a big market team draws more money [ticket sales, betting revenue, TV ratings & etc.] when they play at home versus on the road in the playoffs, you can safely be sure the NFL knows & will act accordingly. Just like the draft lottery proposal, if the NFL can capture TV ratings for it, they will.

      For a WR, 6'4" 220 would be decent size--if you hit the 235 range, I imagine that it costs you speed. I think his speed was an issue. He ran a 4.48 at his pro day. At the combine, he weighed in at 219 (NFL.com).   Mike Evans weighed 225 as a rookie and is also 6'4".  He ran a 4.53 40.  My main and only concern about TMac is between his ears--and it could be nothing.  He seems a bit silly, and it seems that he is in celebration mode when I want him to be in "let's get to work" mode.  Again, some people are just like that, but when they put the helmet on, they get focused.  I want to see that "dawg" before I get overly excited.  The pick is growing on me, and if you broaden the scope to consider what was available in free agency and the draft, it makes sense.  I don't think we got lesser Edge rushers in the second and third rounds, frankly, than what we could have gotten in the first.
