REPORT: new WR coach to come from college team

[TheSpecialJuan]

David Newton ESPN Staff Writer 

The Panthers plan to promote Curtis Fuller to secondary coach, a league source confirmed. He will replace Steve Wilks, who was promoted to defensive coordinator when Sean McDermott became the head coach at Buffalo. The Charlotte Observer first reported the Fuller promotion. Fuller joined coach Ron Rivera's staff as an administrative assistant in 2013 and became a defensive back assistant in 2014. The Panthers also are close to naming a replacement for wide receivers coach Ricky Proehl. That person could come from the college ranks.

Who could it be?

[Davidson Deac II]

Well, some of you wanted some new blood.  Bringing a wide receiver coach out of the college ranks would likely accomplish that.

Title says "to come" when the actual article says "could come."

Imagine that...

Yes, let's hire all these new inexperienced coaches in the midst of our superbowl run years because you know.....................future and stuff.

All news about this team doesn't help me to become optimistic for the upcoming season.

Is Rivera just trying to ensure there are no viable options for interim Head Coach, so he won't be fired in October, then he can pick up some meaningless wins to save his job again in December?

 

Look, happy with Wilkes is getting his shot.  Keeping Shula and Dorsey is hard to phathom after seeing the product on the field this year.  Fuller may work out as defensive backs coach but it's a risky move considering the youth in the secondary.  Now a wide receiver coach without any NFL experience, directly from the college ranks with a struggling WR corps? Hope he remembers to tell them it's two feet in bounds in the pros.  Sincerely hope my concern is unwarranted but feels like amateur hour over at BofA.

Wilks is the potential interim....he's already served that duty and his name even surfaced as a hc candidate this year. He's been assistant hc for several years.

They certainly aren't going to oromote a secondary or wide receiver coach to hc no matter who they are when you have an assistant hc already.

So what beta coach will he bring in?
