I’ve been doing a deep dive on on the NFL’s best secondaries in terms of passing TD’s and total yards allowed. There is common denominator that keeps popping up and that is Kris Richard.

  He’s done very well everywhere he’s been. He has spent over a decade under the tutelage of Pete Carroll. He also spent years under Dan Quinn and was his successor after Quinn took the falcons job.

As the Seahawks D.C they ranked 1st, 3rd, and 13th in total ppg in his 3 seasons at D.C

He was then let go and joined Dallas. There he improved their secondary. The year before him the cowboys secondary gave up 28 passing TD’s and reduced that number to 21 each of the next 2 seasons (top 10 in NFL).

It appears he took 2020 off and then joined the saints coaching staff as a secondary coach and later  co-defensive coordinator. In those 2 seasons with the saints they have been ranked 3rd in passing TD’s allowed and and improved all the way to 2n in passing yards allowed last season.

He has experience under more household names like Dan Quinn and Gus Bradley in addition to several years under Pete Caroll who is clearly a top NFL Head Coach. 

Additionally he has the perspective of being an actual former NFL player for 6 seasons as well.

His counterpart as co-defensive coordinator just took that D.C job with Atlanta. 
 

I sure think it would be nice to kill 2 birds with 1 stone by stealing him from the saints and making him our defensive coordinator.

Richard would be a great hire for our DC. He made the rounds in HC interviews a few years back and was a hot commodity for a minute. 

He's slid back into less-popular mentions a la Bieniemy. I like Fangio and think he's #1 on the market, but Richard would be a helluva get. Also stealing a Saints talent to bring here would be great. 

Brian Johnson or Duce Staley for OC

Kris Richard for DC

1- Richard

2- Manuel

Bradley

 

If we are fully trying to hit a reset on our style, coaching and schemes, Richard or Manuel would be aligned with Reich. Hiring Bradley is a lot of what we've seen already for the past two decades. 

Reich/Brian Johnson/Richard would look nothing like what Panthers fans are used to.

      Panthers will play starters in first 2 preseason games

      By Captain Morgan · Posted

      CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales said Friday that starters will play in the first two preseason games, stopping just short of admitting he made a mistake last season holding them out. The plan includes playing quarterback Bryce Young, who got off to a historically bad start to the 2024 regular season that got him benched after opening 0-2. Carolina opens their preseason schedule Friday at home against Cleveland, followed by an August 15 road game at Houston and August 21 home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.   Canales said he will evaluate after the first two games whether starters will play in the third game. "Kind of going through it last year, we had a mix of veteran players, but [this is] predominantly a pretty young team,'' said Canales, who has at least six new starters to the defense that was the worst in the league a year ago. "I just can't pass up the opportunities. The reps in games are valuable. "[But] it goes to the night before, when guys know they're going to go out there, they've got to make a decision to play football. So it starts the night before with the prep. You start thinking about your plan, taking care of your body, making sure you get your rest.''   https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/45880676/panthers-starters-play-first-2-preseason-games-says-coach

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      You call the Cowboys purely for information, but we don't have the assets to pull off any realistic trade. Also, even if they would consider any trade, it's more likely they want to do it with an AFC team.
