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.

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

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.

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.

Wilks would have never assembled this staff

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.

That's yet to be determined but he's an assistant position coach. This is how former players get their start in coaching .

Nope, I hate this 100%. Terrible hire. fug DeAngelo Hall.

[ladypanther]

Would never have predicted this a few years ago.  Hall left a cushy job to get into the grind of coaching.  Must be serious about this. Sounds good.  Welcome to Carolina.
