BREAKING: Panthers making defensive staff changes

Not firing the defensive line coach, but instead firing a quality control coach, who is essentially a glorified gopher is completely unserious.

Can confirm as a former defensive quality control intern at the college level. All we do is watch film, absolutely no impact on the game whatsoever.

Gopher indeed.

Well I tend to find this largely underwhelming but ultimately it amounts to rearranging deck chairs until we get better talent in here. Morgan has his work cut out for him this offseason. Hope he's up to the task.

Maffei was a holdover from the previous two coaching staff. He'd been thought to be a smart guy on the rise...

...guess not smart enough 😕

Will they bring in Dave's guys or Evero's? Tune in tomorrow on the next episode of "As the Stomach Turns".

I’m going to do some research on both sides and see who’s available. I know Gus Bradley just got fired and he worked Seattle with him. Different schemes though.

With how many miscommunications we saw from the secondary just trying to run simple cover 3 zone looks more than 60% of the time, yea... Watts was a likely candidate to be let go. He was the OLB coach in Denver previously.

Lukabu and Maffei were a bit surprising. Lukabu was dealing with injuries to his group (LBs). Wondering if this was an issue similar to Watts where guys were just making too many mistakes running simple concepts.

Maffei I couldn't even begin to figure out what.

Could also just be three other guys out there that are preferred?

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
