Ron’s made a lot of money. He’ll retire.

That's a genuine possibility.

It's also true though that a lot of former head coaches like to step back and take lesser, low pressure jobs in the latter part of their careers.

I could see Rivera doing that as well, especially to help out an old friend.

And heaven knows he enjoyed living in Charlotte.

(the city actually liked him and Mrs Riv pretty well too)

It just seems like there's quite a few...umm...relics on that list.

Got curious and decided to look it up...

Kitchens - 47

Chudzinski - 54

Scott Turner - 40

Cam Turner - 35

Zampese - 55

Wilson - 61

Nixon - 47

Proehl - 54

Henry - 50

Campen - 58

Kugler - couldn't find it but he ain't 65

Holcomb - 51

Mills III - 44

Rivera - 60

Pagano - 55

Walker - 61

Dishman - 57

Tabor - 51

For the record, Pasqualoni is 73.

The only other guy who'd be in that range is pass rush specialist Don Johnson. Couldn't find his age but he's been coaching since 1977.

I didn't think of it till too late but there's another name I probably should have included among the potential secondary coaches.

Former Panthers safety Mike Mitchell is currently an assistant Defensive Backs Coach with the Colts.

Lol...this may not be a popular opinion but Mitchell is most definitely in my top 5 all time.. Panther SS. I watched a lot offensive players develop alligator arms in his short stint here. Penalty machine but a true tone setter. 

Idunno how he'd convert as a coach but I could easily imagine the tempo he'd use lol. 

Side note: The staff listed in the OP is actually realistic imo and also lightyears ahead of what our former head coach put together. It only gets worse when you realize he probably had almost every resource avialable at his disposal...smdh.. All we need is competence at this point. + "just an average" QB and OC and we're 3-1 at the worse.

I would like to see an OC that has had his moments as a head coach and realizes his forte is OC and not HC.  This would hopefully keep him from moving on.  I know many like to think they are HC material but maybe we could find one who won't move on after one or two good seasons.

That's potentially Kitchens or Chudzinski.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
