Kaye confirms Cooley but says we'll have a separate coach for safeties.

Mike Mitchell, maybe?

That's an Evero pick, same as Hansen.

Wasnt big on him either, but did see he was college DC at a mid-tier school. Plus Evero jumped on him. Honestly dont know enough to form a opinion about either.

The Broncos defense was hell last year with a set of young position coaches under Evero

Rodrigue on having a separate safeties coach...

Wonder what it means for Chinn If he doesn't change positions.

Some 3-4 teams also have separate inside and outside linebacker coaches (Hansen was an inside linebacker coach if I remember correctly) but there's no word on us doing that just yet.

Cooley would be my first "meh".....but hes very young and with ramsey gotten results....but a big ehhhHa. 

He may still have a hold on some of the college players given 2020 was his first year in the pros. 

Rams fired him last month

I may be misreading the tea leaves here, but it seems like Tepper has pulled out all the stops to ensure the Panthers have one of the best coaching staffs in the league.  If true, chances are all Reich has to do is mention that it would be better to have more coaches and Tepper would write the check to make it happen.

Frank in one of interviews said along the lines " Mr. tepper wants the best coaches possible, (semi-pause....) not my buddies". Us fans were extra hard on tepper for rhule and crew, 100% deserved. This second time, just feels vastly different and the focus is on point. You can always nit-pick like not landing Vic as DC, but even without the OC, TE, WR, DL, S, and strength coaches(trainer too)....this is the best staff panthers have had.....loads of exp and great mix of youth......each are talented and the old guard is proven in battle times. 

Nice dose of hopuim for us fans....
