Assistant coach hires on the way...

...in the next day or so per Gantt.

Quietly, stability

My hopes for position coaches still include the following:

DL: Tim Krumrie or Denny Marcin (prefer Krumrie at this point)

LB: Dave McGinnis (I'm dreaming) or Mike Haluchak (interviewed by the Raiders, who hired DL coach Dwaine Board), Dat Nguyen could be intriguing

DB: Herm Edwards (highly unlikely) Brett Maxie, perhaps Brian Stewart

My first choices in each position are the "aggressive attitude" guys.

Gantt also confirms that the rest of the coaching staff (offense, special teams) is on board.

Interesting...wonder if this statement indicates that Meeks will be given more freedom in the defense than some have thought?

Or he could be suggesting that it is Fox's defense and that Meeks will just coordinate it, hence the choice of 'their'. Basically Gantt suggests that Fox is heavily involved in it and it will be at leat 50% all him.

When Fox hires outside his box it turns into success...see Davidson last year. The problem with Turdovac was that he was an "inside guy" that worked under Del Rio and Fox as a position coach. Therefore, all of his ideas were essentially Fox's ideas. Now that Meeks is here there will be a philosophy change and in a sense a molding of the two minds. It should be good and if we can add a guy like Herm Edwards then I will be cautiously optimistic about our Peppers-less defense next year.

After such a horrible loss in the playoffs, it would be nice if the Panthers could get Dat Nguyen.

And I thought my jokes were bad.

We can officially close the book on Herm (if you haven't already). ESPN is saying they've got him in the fold. PFT is speculating that they'll heave Emmitt Smith for him.

I will look forward to seeing Herm and Keyshawn face off :)

I agree completely.

I was actually hoping they would have picked up Chuckie. :lol:

Krumrie's still one of my guys. Denny Marcin's out there?

McGinnis wouldn't leave for a lateral move. Venturi's still there, even if Haluchak goes. I thought Martindale was staying in Oakland but he's a Bronco now. I guess, while we're talking Venturi, there's Haslett, desperate for a job.

Maxie is OK. I like Lynn more.

Lynn is more likely given the Fox connection. Maxie has the Panther connection but wasn't here under Fox.

Marcin's status is unclear. It wasn't dead set that the Jets were keeping him. He was demoted in favor of Bryan Cox (the old bird flipping Dolphin) and I believe that gives him the latitude for a promotion.

McGinnis is just my hope since so far he hasn't gotten a DC job anywhere. I'd forgotten Venturi but would be okay with him.

I've been meaning to look back for some of Ron Meeks' prior coaching connections but haven't had time.

      Dave in a presser gassed up Anthony Tyus III and dying to see him on the field.  I mean 3 is all that needed right, and Dan loves etienne. He's one year filling in his body. If brooks is back, toss in chubba, thats 3.

      After seeing hits in the last two UDFA pools, I do not in this group sorta of a let down after I gassed myself up.  Not like I know of their games, but just expected more. The duke DT only has to beat out hunte (2025 UDFA) or Ray (DL coach's kid) or even Cam Jackson mid 2025 5th.  I thought they would bring in more edges, IOL, TEs, etc...

      The Icky knee didn't explode draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      My 2 favorite picks, since you didn't ask? 3. Brazzell II.  A 1000 yard WR with 4.37 speed and checks all the boxes for a Z Wide Receiver.  IN THE THIRD ROUND!!! 5.  Sam Hecht.  I think he will take over as the starter at some point this season and never look back.  IN THE FIFTH ROUND. Runner Up:  2. Hunter:  We were targeting a DT early in this draft because we did very little to replace Robinson in free agency.  Hunter was our guy and he will start. In addition to that, you got a starting tackle that should man one side of the new OL we will build for Bryce's second contract. A starting WR, offensive lineman, defensive lineman and possible Offensive tackle (at some point during this year from this draft will start.  UNREAL. In addition, I don't doubt that Wheatley (5th round) takes the FS job by next year and Lee III is Jackson's replacement in 2027.   Finally, even Kuwatch should be a special teams demon and LB depth.   Last year's draft was so good it was ugly.  This one will turn out to be uglier.  No offense Basbear--this ain't about you.
