Previous discussion here: Assistant Coach Candidates

(might be merge worthy, depending on the mods)

My current thoughts, with Meeks now in the fold...

On DL, please, anyone but John Teerlink :nonod:

I'd be okay with Board, Krumrie or Denny Marcin. If you could get a motor like Krumrie had into a player with Peppers athletic ability, in theory you'd have a nearly unstoppable player. Moot point with Peppers leaving, of course. I suppose even Crennel is possible if he doesn't stay in Cleveland or get a DC gig. Shame all this happened too late for us to make a run at Rod Marinelli.

Linebackers? I was a big fan of McGinnis for DC. If he doesn't get a gig elsewhere I wonder if he'd take a lateral move. Haluchak has the Fox connection, of course. Venturi wouldn't be a bad hire, and he'd know the NFC South well enough. Also just recently noticed that Dat Nguyen had become a coach (assistant LB coach for the Cowboys). Don't know enough about him as a coach but he was a smart player.

In the secondary? Herm would be nice but I don't expect it. Gantt suggested former Fox assistant Johnnie Lynn as a possible. Former Panther DB and coach Brett Maxie was of late with the Cowboys but I don't know his contract status. I do know that former Cowboys DC Brian Stewart was a DB coach, but I think Boltergeist had a negative opinion of his time with the Chargers.

As an aside, When they were predicting the coaching hires, Yasinskas said that the process would be sloooooooowwww. Gantt said it would be over by next Sunday. With Meeks hired one day into the week, I'd give round one in the prediction bowl to Gantt.

I figured it would be fast for the DC, the other coaches will just fall in place once meek gets back in NC and starts his talks with fox. I'd expect at least two of the positions to be filled by the end of the week or early next week at the latest.

Reasonable.

If they get it done this week, then you can assume they had no interest in anyone from the staff of the Cards or the Steelers (despite the 'emulation' talk).

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

      It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
