The remaining coaches I would consider "Rhule guys"...

Linebackers Coach / Defensive Run Game Coordinator Mike Siravo served under Rhule for seven years at both Temple and Baylor in addition to one earlier year at Temple before following him to the Panthers

Strength and Conditioning Coach Jeremy Scott is the third staff member to follow Rhule through all three of his most recent stops (counting Evan Cooper) over the past seven years before joining the Panthers

Runningbacks Coach / Assistant Head Coach - Offense Jeff Nixon is a three year Baylor guy who followed Rhule to the Panthers (also one year with Rhule at Temple for a total of four years) but does have significant NFL coaching experience outside that connection 

Tight Ends Coach Kevin M Gilbride was on staff with Rhule three years at Temple and one with the Giants in the 2000s; his dad was also a Rhule colleague in New York; like Nixon he does have other NFL coaching experience

Assistant Quarterbacks Coach / Pass Game Coordinator Matt Lombardi was with Rhule at Baylor for two recent years but was with the Dolphins at the time Rhule got the Panthers job

Assistant Defensive Line Coach Terrance Knighton played for Rhule three years at Temple; never coached with him (or much at all really) till Carolina

...

Quarterbacks Coach Sean Ryan and DC Al Holcomb each had a single year working with Rhule at previous stops, but Ryan's connection is relatively minimal and obviously Holcomb isn't going anywhere.

All these will be gone.  As mentioned earlier by others, the only current coach needing retained is Campen.

I'd keep Tabor and Kugler.

Outside of that, there's an argument to be made for Jeff Nixon. He has plenty of legitimate NFL experience away from Rhule .

I'm okay with Tabor too, but honestly ST coaches are a dime a dozen.  Indifferent with Kuglar.  If Campen wants him to stay, then that's fine.

Disagree about special teams coaches. They can definitely have a major effect on a season.

As to Kugler, he's Campen's protegé.

It is still just crazy how much power Tepper gave Rhule being just a college coach coming in.  The contract, the full power on hidings and things.   There are very few coaches that have been around for a long time that should have that power definitely not a newbie.

Tepper believed he was going to do things his own way and show everybody he was smarter than them.

He proved just the opposite.

This just in:

   Fired Sir Purr's tailor, replacing with taxidermist who makes great bear costumes.

   Fired 1/3 of concession workers, replacing with prison cook staff used to serving people who want to leave but can't.

   Fired scoreboard IT director for allowing replays that looked bad, replacing with Chiefs asst video director and asking him to show KC only replays. 

   Fired pest control firm, replacing them concert managers since they share similar capabilities.

    Fired entire scouting department, replacing them with visually impaired staff that will offer same results for a reduced rate.

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
