Senior Assistant: Jim Caldwell

Offensive Coordinator: Thomas Brown 

Quarterback Coach: Josh McCown
Passing Game Coordinator: Parks Frazier
Runningbacks Coach: Duce Staley
Wide Receivers Coach: Shawn Jefferson
Tight Ends Coach: John Lilly
Offensive Line Coach: James Campen
Assistant Offensive Line Coach: Robert Kugler

Defensive Coordinator: Ejiro Evero
Senior Defensive Assistant: Dom Capers

Defensive Line Coach: Todd Wash
Linebackers Coach: Peter Hansen
Outside Linebackers Coach: Tem Lukabu
Safeties Coach: Bert Watts
Cornerbacks Coach: Jonathan Cooley

Assistant Defensive Backs Coach: DeAngelo Hall

Special Teams Coordinator: Chris Tabor
Assistant Special Teams Coach: Devin Fitzsimmons

Strength and Conditioning Coach: TBD

___________________________________________

Waiting to be filled:

Strength and Conditioning Coach

Plus any additional assistants the team may want (S&C coaches frequently have at least one assistant).

Previous RB Coach Jeff Nixon could potentially fill one of the offensive spots. He's coached both receivers and tight ends in his career.

Former Panther Ricky Proehl could work either as a wide receiver coach or a strength and conditioning coach (a la his Proehlific Park stint) but right now he's the head coach of the XFL's Saint Louis Battlehawks where his son is a player so I wouldn't expect it.

Reich's old teammate Don Beebe has been in the performance business before as well, though Iast I saw he was the head football coach at a small university in Illinois. Unknown if he'd want to leave that gig for an NFL assistant job.

Denver parted ways with a respected strength and conditioning coach in Loren Landow. No word if there's any interest in him here.

Of course, the Panthers could also reunite with former S&C coach Joe "House" Kenn, but again I don't know if there's any discussion or possibility of that happening.

Down to the wire now. It's been a good ride so far. Let's see who fills the last few spots 😀

An argument could be made that right now, the Panthers are winning the off-season with the staff hires so far. At least getting a good start going into FA and draft

Has there ever been a time where you could honestly say that about this org?

Longtime NFL writer Jeff Howe would be one of the people making that argument.

Before the OC hire, I was beginning to worry that we were moving to a very pass happy offense (albeit balanced by Duce Staley on staff), but this latest hire makes me think the balance is going to be very good and very strong between run and pass.

This, on paper, is beginning to look like the beginnings of the best staff we've ever had. Still, we won't know for sure until the team hits the field, and then probably for a few games. The potential, though, is just so, I don't know... inspiring?

Really can't wait to see the free agency moves and draft that we have. It's been a while since I've been this excited or optimistic for them!

And thanks for the rundown of the staff signings so far, OP! And the assessments of potential candidates.

I just don't see any way that Carr is the answer at QB with the architecture of this coaching staff. 

It's gotta be one of two paths:

  • Trade for Lance or Fields and still have draft capital to add more pieces
  • Move up to get Stroud/AR/Young

There are other QBs in the class that may be better fits for the coaching staff, ones with less hype and risk.

Waiting to be filled are at least three spots:

Wide Receivers Coach
Tight Ends Coach
Strength and Conditioning Coach

Plus any additional assistants the team may want (S&C coaches frequently have at least one assistant).

Previous RB Coach Jeff Nixon could potentially fill one of the offensive spots. He's coached both receivers and tight ends in his career.

Jim Bob Cooter likely isn't a candidate to join the staff since he didn't get the OC job, but you never know.

Former Panther Ricky Proehl could work either as a wide receiver coach or a strength and conditioning coach (a la his Proehlific Park stint) but right now he's the head coach of the XFL's Saint Louis Battlehawks where his son is a player so I wouldn't expect it.

I’d love Landow as strength and conditioning coach but he’s got a lucrative gym in LA. I doubt he’d come this far east

Jefferson is another guy who's carried the "Assistant Head Coach" title before (more than once).

yeah i'm definitely seeing a trend. WIlks was valued most because he was a leader of men.

It seems that "leader of men" is kind of what they are going for. Not just coaches, but ones who are valued for their leadership and teaching skills and who are on track to get head coaching jobs or at least have been valued enough in their previous organizations to be named assistant head coach. 

It's very possible that the coaching program here could help people become head coaches later on. Would be great of we garnered attention from prospective assistants as a place where you won't only be paid more than anywhere else, but as a solid stepping stone towards your own head coaching job.

I don’t think we’d have to move up for AR, he’d be there at 9 imo

Did a little bit of looking (not too deep) into prior connections for both Reich and Caldwell. Honestly didn't find too much.

Only name that stuck out (who wasn't already employed elsewhere or retired) was Wade Harman, a tight end coach Caldwell had worked with in Baltimore.

He hasn't coached in a year or two though so... 😕

      Updated 2025 draft order

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.

      Predictions for Brooks debut

      By CBDellinger · Posted

      6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
