Why is this a good coaching hire?

he had a long nfl career across multiple positions in the secondary. 

he's really good on NFL network

panthers are hiring young coaches to groom for higher positions. this is absolutely the right call. if it works out, great, they have people they can poach when (hopefully) they lose coaches to other teams. If it doesn't work out, oh well, who cares.

Really potentially weird one, lol. Not complaining just wonder how 89 feels.

That was more a D'Angelo Hall problem than it was 89s lol.  Whatever their beef was, Smitty seemed over it after he busted his ass several times.  I always got the impression that Hall was the one that the bitter feelings lingered for...  and I know at some point before that they considered each other friends...  Smitty also had beef with Fred Smoot and they recently publicly squashed that too, so I'm sure they'll make amends if they haven't already.

Personally, I love the hire.  I was a big fan of his in college and really wanted us to find a way to get him coming out of college, but then he ended up in ATL, so of course I was forced to hate him, but had no problem with him after he left there...  and may I say, he was really entertaining, informative, and just overall excellent as an analyst.  One of the best former players I've seen as an in-studio guy.  And from what I remember, he always seemed to have an affinity for us in his analysis, which I found interesting.  He's gonna be an excellent coach and a great addition.  Frank is showing his ass right now.

Corners who have long careers have more than just physical traits. You have to be smart to last past your prime.

He also, iirc, was one of the few who successfully transitioned to safety as he aged away from corner and still maintained a high level of play, much like the Woodsons, and I think that often points to very high IQ and ability to analyze and process the game at a higher level.

this is one of those moves that has extremely high upside and minimal downside. worst case scenario he's the worst....assistant defensive backs coach in the league. no big deal. best case scenario is he has a gift for coaching and ascends the ranks within the Panthers or elsewhere, and the Panthers benefit from his expertise in the meantime.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By jb2288 · Posted

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
