Your All time Panthers Coaching Staff

Every offseason, someone usually posts a topic which is a variant of what your all time Panthers team is. I have never seen anyone post your all time Panthers Coaching Staff. This may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually think this past year's Panthers team had a good amount of talent (I think Bitterer could be good), enough to maybe win closer to 9 games. The issue is really the coaching staff. So I wanted to ask, who is on your all time Panthers coaching staff. I don't know my full staff yet, but the guys I like are

Head Coach: Riverboat Ron Rivera has the best win percentage of any coach we have had, is well respected in the community and is largely beloved by his plays. People have been knocking on the idea of "culture" but culture is really important and this team was known for having a great locker room culture during his tenure aided of course by some great veterans like TD, Luke, Cam, and Greg. But it starts with Ron. 

WR: Ricky Proehl was a player and a big part of both Super Bowl panther teams, first as a player and then as a coach. He helped a lot of players surpass their potential - I am thinking of Philly Brown's performance in the NFC Championship game and the Super Bowl. Basically had nothing to work with and made them part of a really potent offense.

RB: Jim Skipper Who else could it be? He was here forever, survived multiple HC firings and gave us some amazing running backs through the years. A no brainer.

Defensive Coordinator: Sean McDermott oversaw two an excellent defense here and is now a very successful head coach in Buffalo. 

DL: Eric Washington: Unlike Proehl, he had much more talent to work with, but getting pressure with a four man rush was a huge part of this teams success for much of its history. He had solid success in Chicago and and is kicking but in Buffalo with McDermott. 

LB: Sam Mills (duh)Was the heart of the team when it went to the playoffs in 1996, when it went to the Super Bowl in 2003. Might be the heart of the team still. I hope this team gets back to being at a place where it is deserving of his legacy. 

DB: Steve Wilks This might be some 2015 bias, but he made some good things happen with pretty mediocre players. Coached Thieves Row that had a lot of takeaways and made Mike Mitchell look good.

Curious to hear what other coaches folks liked from past Panther teams.

Happy Offeseason!

Much as I love Proehl, our best receiver coach was Richard Williamson. I'd take Mike Trgovac over Eric Washington too.

Brad Seely is likely the top special teams coach. Some would say Scott O'Brien but everyone who had to work with him hated him.

OC is Dan Henning or Gil Haskell.

Almost put Jack Del Rio except he wasn't here very long. I didn't list an OC as, well, to be honest I don't have a lot of positive associations with this team and offense the best ones that come to my mind being 2015 and 1999 neither of which can be attributed to Henning, but he did do some solid things during his time, and his competition is pretty bad.

Henning was a SB winning OC with the Redskins and probably the sole reason why we came back in SB38.  After Billicheat knew our every step in the 1st QTR.  Henning changed things up and had it not been for a Kasey poor kick off.  We might have won that game.

Del Rio was good, no doubt about it. But it helped that he had a good helping of talent, especially in the front 7.    Best defensive line we ever had with Peppers, Rucker in his Prime, Jenkins healthy, and Buckner.  And the linebackers were great, with Morgan and Fields (before injuries and cancer took their toll).

Well Del Rio's defense did have those players but you still have to have a decent game plan and he was great for his one season.

OP is Cam-wagon era. Honestly Henning was awful. I'll take Chud as OC b/c we were exciting. Norv was better than Henning.

Only 2011 Chud though. 2012 Chud drank way too much of his own Kool-Aid. 

I'd probably take 2011 Chud by a hair over Henning, but I'd be fine with Henning. I feel like Fox often hampered him.

      Why I Believe That We Will Trade Down

      By Martin · Posted

      I complete disagree. Who is available is extremely relevant. If you have a couple of players you would be happy with and you can still get them if you trade back, you should do that in a heartbeat. Being afraid that people will lowball you next year is an odd stance. Then you just say no next year, problem solved. In this particular draft you can get a very good player at 46. But to each their own.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      I don't think so.  Watson really screwed them up.  I see something happening, but do not know what.  Cousins could be had in a trade--but they liked Flacco when he played there.  If it were me, I would not spend the #2 pick on Sanders.  I would go after a tier 2 qb because I think Will Howard is going to start in the NFL soon, and I think Ewers was rated very high at the beginning of the year--he knows adversity and he beat out a Manning while taking Texas to 2 playoff appearances.  I am not good at picking QBs, but I think Howard's run pass option and his accuracy is going to help someone.  Stay in Ohio and play for the Browns behind Flacco--

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      After Cam at #1, there are three or four elite players and there could be a trade--If I am the Giants and I am needed a winning season badly and I have several needs, I might trade out and pick up mid first and an extra second rounder, including a QB--while nobody is going to move up to #3 for Sanders, they might for Carter or Hunter.  If the Giants then move back, Sanders could still be in play.  That could be the trade in the top 3.  New England wants Campbell and I get that; Jacksonville at #5 could move back if someone wants Graham or Jeanty.  But barring some trade, the top 4 are probably locked in. So it could be 2 hours into the draft before we get any surprises. Nice list, by the way--you nailed it.
