BREAKING NEWS: Panthers hiring new coach

[TheSpecialJuan]

According to Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer, the team is expected to hire former cornerback Kevin Peterson as a defensive assistant.

 

Peterson spent this past year as the cornerbacks coach for Colorado State University Pueblo.

Before hitting the sidelines for the ThunderWolves in 2024, Peterson spent the prior season with both the Los Angeles Rams and Arizona Cardinals as a Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellow.

Good! Hope he does great here!

And if the Bill Walsh Diversity Coaching Fellow was his route to becoming a successful coach then great! The league won't survive long if we go back to the old days when there was a bottleneck to access that prevented skilled people from different backgrounds from getting the opportunity to coach.

And fug Trump.

Great opportunity for him! Getting to work under and learn from Capers, Evero, and Cooley is awesome for a player trying to break into coaching.

Aside from your personal opinions on Trump, what bottlenecks exist that prevent qualified people from having success? If the candidate is talented and successful in what he has done already, there’s no reason to think he wouldn’t be considered for the job. What does the color of someone’s skin have to do with anything?
 

From what I can tell, diversity hires only block qualified talent and lowers standards.

or they put optics on someone that otherwise would have been overlooked despite being talented enough for the job. not everyone who has talent is given a fair opportunity. it doesn't hurt to open up the talent pool beyond what people with limited vision would otherwise have made available to them.

it doesn't block talent. it widens the pool of talent and does nothing to affect the standards.
