Panthers hire assistant coach from LSU

[WarPanthers89]

The Panthers have done something different with their coaching staff.

They hired a guy who never worked at either Baylor or Temple.

According to Joe Person of TheAthletic.com, the Panthers hired LSU offensive analyst D.J. Mangas as an offensive assistant.

While he didn’t work for coach Matt Rhule, he does have a tie to the staff, as he played and coached with offensive coordinator Joe Brady at William & Mary, and they worked together at LSU last year.

When the Panthers made their full coaching staff announcement previously, 14 of the 22 hiredworked for Matt Rhule at one of his previous stops. And two of the eight coaches with recent NFL experience on the staff played for defensive coordinator Phil Snow in college, so familiarity is a prerequisite there. Since that announcement, the Panthers have also hired a football ops guy from Baylor as well, extending the alumni chapter in Charlotte.

I dig it

[WarPanthers89]

I just wonder what role he will have. It just mentions offensive assistant

I'm just glad to see extra emphasis being placed on the offense in general.

Official role, Brady's drinking buddy

Mangas is a guy that was mentioned a long time ago, by Pete Thamel I think, as a possible addition.

Man, we have a big staff.

(no, that's not "what she said")

I hope Rhule is as good at managing people as I hope he is.

Awesome choice. I like our coaching staff.

At this rate we are going to have more coaches than players. Now all we need is some Chip Kelly sign boards.

At least we may have someone who is capable of filling in when someone get promoted rather than sticking with old vanilla ass guys like Shula

I wouldn’t doubt this is part of the logic behind building this staff. We’ll have a deeper pool to promote from within rather than scrambling as we’ve done in the past,

I am glad because there is a possibility that if we light it up on offense this season that Joe Brady gets HC offers in 2021.
