Panthers have youngest coordinators in the league

Recommended Posts

The Carolina Panthers' youth movement has carried over to their coaching staff, specifically the coordinators for first-year coach Ron Rivera.

With the hires of 42-year-old Rob Chudzinski and 36-year-old Sean McDermott this week, the Panthers currently have the youngest set of coordinators in the league

Of Rivera's three other hires, only one is north of 41- offensive line coach John Matso, who turns 60 in February. Special teams coordinator Brian Murphy is 41, while assistant defensive line coach Sam Mills III is 32. Mills is another holdout from Fox's staff.

What does it mean that the Panthers are trending younger with their coaches?

Well, a smaller payroll for starters. Panthers owner Jerry Richardson said Fox ($6.5 million) and his assistants made $11.4 million in 2010, a figure Richardson called the fifth-highest in the league.

With the 49-year-old Rivera reportedly making an average of $2.8 million per year, the aggregate salaries for the Panthers' coaches should drop significantly.

But just as importantly, with the Panthers' stated philosophy to build through the draft, it makes sense to hire a mix of experienced coaches and younger, energetic assistants who can connect with the team's rookies and second- and third-year players.

I hope this youth movement works out better than the 2010 version .

Isn't Meeks old?

56. Some of us don't consider this old. To others it is ancient, LOL.

But yeah the article was talking about coordinators.

THis article debunks the notion that JR is sparing no expense in assembling a staff. Then again the money is irrelevant- as long as they do a great job.

    • You don't have to go through every game and point it out as we are discussing his GWDs. You specifically called out that he had GWDs because he is the reason the team is always playing from behind. We looked at those eight games and only Miami stands out as one where he put the team in a hole to begin with. You've added the Atlanta game where the team didn't score a TD but only kicked field goals. You're not trying to change what we're discussing to fit your feelings re: Bryce. That's not necessary. We are discussing GWDs per the thread topic. We have also shown that your opinion that the team has had to always come back due to Bryce was proven to be false as was the claim that "minus one game" was his fault. Appealing to emotion afterwards by trying to broadly paint the rest of the losses in the same way just doesn't work. Where in the Hell did you get that the entire point is the suggestion that BY is more clutch than Jake and/or Cam? It's giving something to be positive about in that Bryce has shown the ability to comeback and win games despite the calamity that might have taken place to put them behind to begin with. How is that blasphemy?
    • His run blocking is making up for his negatives in pass blocking right now.  He’ll still have pass blocking hiccups, but if they think he’s a critical part to the locker room and team construction, you probably re-sign him and try not to overpay.
    • Callahan is gone McDaniel and Taylor are happening Stefanski is a growing possibility. I mean, they need to get an offense going eventually.  Could see Morris as a surprise one.
