Why is this a good coaching hire?

he had a long nfl career across multiple positions in the secondary. 

he's really good on NFL network

panthers are hiring young coaches to groom for higher positions. this is absolutely the right call. if it works out, great, they have people they can poach when (hopefully) they lose coaches to other teams. If it doesn't work out, oh well, who cares.

Really potentially weird one, lol. Not complaining just wonder how 89 feels.

That was more a D'Angelo Hall problem than it was 89s lol.  Whatever their beef was, Smitty seemed over it after he busted his ass several times.  I always got the impression that Hall was the one that the bitter feelings lingered for...  and I know at some point before that they considered each other friends...  Smitty also had beef with Fred Smoot and they recently publicly squashed that too, so I'm sure they'll make amends if they haven't already.

Personally, I love the hire.  I was a big fan of his in college and really wanted us to find a way to get him coming out of college, but then he ended up in ATL, so of course I was forced to hate him, but had no problem with him after he left there...  and may I say, he was really entertaining, informative, and just overall excellent as an analyst.  One of the best former players I've seen as an in-studio guy.  And from what I remember, he always seemed to have an affinity for us in his analysis, which I found interesting.  He's gonna be an excellent coach and a great addition.  Frank is showing his ass right now.

Corners who have long careers have more than just physical traits. You have to be smart to last past your prime.

He also, iirc, was one of the few who successfully transitioned to safety as he aged away from corner and still maintained a high level of play, much like the Woodsons, and I think that often points to very high IQ and ability to analyze and process the game at a higher level.

this is one of those moves that has extremely high upside and minimal downside. worst case scenario he's the worst....assistant defensive backs coach in the league. no big deal. best case scenario is he has a gift for coaching and ascends the ranks within the Panthers or elsewhere, and the Panthers benefit from his expertise in the meantime.

      That order is wrong. That’s based on standings, not on SOS (lower the better). We are 8th right now on Tankathon but the bye weeks mess it up a bit. We have the 2nd lowest SOS among the 3 win teams so we are basically 6th if we don’t win again. It will be tonight to get by NE who has 3 wins with a lower SOS and a tough schedule. The nice thing is that the four 2 win teams play a bunch of games with each other. Jax plays Tennessee twice and Jax also plays both the Raiders and the Giants. The Giants also play Dallas. Only Jax has a lower SOS so it would benefit us if Jax loses out. We’d then likely be 3rd unless NE squeezes one out maybe Buffalo week 18 will rest starters. If we can stay at 3 wins, doable aside from the Cowboys, we will have a good pick. It would be nice if we can hop over the Giants and Raiders. I’m not a huge fan of this year’s QBs so it would be nice to stock some more picks for a trade up.

      Jacksonville Dallas and Tennessee should win at least 2 more.  Raiders and giants should win 1 at least 1 more. I really hope the Jets and grandpa rodgers can steal 1 somewhere.
