Jim Skipper let go

It was what it was...

Deangelo Williams stated he would walk if Skipper wasn't kept on board (per Gantt) in an article dated a few weeks back. He said he didn't want to play for any other coach. This could mean we are going in a different direction. For the Panthers sake, I hope we can secure D-Will.

He didn't say that. He said that Skipper staying would definitely have a big impact on his decision to resign here or not.

Skipper is a great coach.....but he was Fox's right hand man. He probably represents the "old way" more than anyone. I think it is probably wise for Rivera not to keep someone who was on the same page of Fox to degree Skip probably was.

Lol come on guys the past 2 weeks everyone here praises the staff and now we get our panties in a bunch because they're not bringing our RB's coach back. Take a look at this list.

Davis

Foster

Hoover

Goings

Deangelo

Stewart

Goodson

Sutton

What do they all have in common? .... Talent. Sometimes players make coaches. Not saying it's completely true here in this case but Skipper is not the end all be all of what our RB's can be.

    • This is always a non-story by the time camp begins.  
    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.
