Luke wants to keep working with the Panthers...Brady/Kuechly coordinators?

[Sam Mills Fan]

Is it possible we'll have two coordinators younger than 31 next year? Is it common for retiring players to immediately become coordinators or will they need to become interns or position coaches first? I feel like if Kuechly did that though, whoever we get as defensive coordinator will have to know Kuechly will replace them in a year or two, so I don't know how well that will work out.

Are you asking if he wants to stay with the panthers? Or have you seen someone say that he wants to stay

I can see Luke coaching after he takes some time off. Hopefully it's with the Panthers.

i bet Luke goes fishing for awhile...he will be offered big $$ for TV

I don't think he goes that route. Monotone voice, kind of a boring dude. Absolutely no knock on him, but he doesn't have the right personality for TV.

I think even with a football IQ of Kuechly's unprecedented level, it's probably advisable for him to work his way up the ranks a bit rather than just immediately from player to cordinator. I'm thinking specifically of how Mike Singletary, despite being an all time great, flamed out as a head coach when he was promoted prematurely into a job he didn't have the proper preparation for.

Start Luke at LB coach and let him grow into coaching, if that's the path he chooses. Personally if I were him I'd take a few years off and enjoy being young and rich. I'm not into fishing at all, but that seems to be something he loves. There's a ton of fish out there, and once you start coaching, it's a huge time sink.

He has looks and knowledge and is well spoken. He'll probably never be a color guy, you're right about that much, but I think if he wanted to he could be a good analysis guy with some training. I think long term coaching is more likely though.

Yes, Klemko reported this morning that he wants to stay with the Panthers in some capacity. I don't know what that means though.

[TheRumGone]

I could see him being the linebackers coach or linebackers assistant coach but DC? No way. 

[pantherclaw]

Haven't seen anything that says he's even interested.

That's great to hear.

i think he'll be a great addition to our staff.   asst lb coach?   something, and he'll probably work his way up pretty quick

[PhillyB]

luke can't even be interesting on a commercial. he'd bomb at tv. i'm sure he knows it.

he could be a GOAT football coach. I imagine he'd have to take an assistant position somewhere before taking over as a LB coach and work his way up from there. he will have plenty of options.

[JawnyBlaze]

Yea I could definitely see him as a (hopefully our) LB coach to start for a few years. DC down the road a bit for sure if he wants to.

Linebacker coach would be a good place for him to start.
