Wait, so basically Eric Washington was fired, just re-hired to only coach the D-Line now, right?

[thunderraiden]

The way I see it is that Washington was given a choice. A.) Return to D-Line Coach and we cut two other underperforming coaches. B.) Get Fired today and move on.

Obviously, he chose the first option and here we are on a Monday. With Eric Washington at "Front 7" Coach and Ron Rivera the new D Coordinator.

I’m okay with that

[Hoenheim]

If it doesnt change anything vs Cleveland then they should be both getting the axe from Tepper himself 

[jfra78]

Just a last ditch effort for Rivera to get in Teppers good graces.  It wont work

[TN05]

Pretty much, and I'm fine with that. Washington was a good d-line coach, but it's clear he's in over his head. 

[Palmetto]

RR wants it to seem like he's fed up or something

[GoPanthers123]

It is for the best.  We should see a better D moving forward.

[Admiral Ackbar]

The writing is on the wall. Defensive coach who has no accountability for his teams performance and easily the worst defense in his era. Rivera out

[Ricky Spanish]

I mean washington as a line coach was fantastic so I'm not opposed to it.

[LinvilleGorge]

I've been calling for this exact move since Week 6.

 

[Jangler]

[ncfan]

Im perfectly fine with that.

 

Our DL wasnt a problem untio this year.  Its actually been pretty good the last few years. 

When he moved to Coordinator and Hoke to DL, they began to suck

Washington just usnt ready to be  a playcaller, but that doesnt mean he forgot to coach DL

[Eazy-E]

Washinton is a shitty defensive line coach. He hasn’t developed a single defensive lineman his entire 7 years here.

If Ron was smart he would have cut ties with all his buddies and brought in some real coaches. Instead they’re all going down together.
