...in the next day or so per Gantt.

Quietly, stability

My hopes for position coaches still include the following:

DL: Tim Krumrie or Denny Marcin (prefer Krumrie at this point)

LB: Dave McGinnis (I'm dreaming) or Mike Haluchak (interviewed by the Raiders, who hired DL coach Dwaine Board), Dat Nguyen could be intriguing

DB: Herm Edwards (highly unlikely) Brett Maxie, perhaps Brian Stewart

My first choices in each position are the "aggressive attitude" guys.

Gantt also confirms that the rest of the coaching staff (offense, special teams) is on board.

Interesting...wonder if this statement indicates that Meeks will be given more freedom in the defense than some have thought?

Or he could be suggesting that it is Fox's defense and that Meeks will just coordinate it, hence the choice of 'their'. Basically Gantt suggests that Fox is heavily involved in it and it will be at leat 50% all him.

When Fox hires outside his box it turns into success...see Davidson last year. The problem with Turdovac was that he was an "inside guy" that worked under Del Rio and Fox as a position coach. Therefore, all of his ideas were essentially Fox's ideas. Now that Meeks is here there will be a philosophy change and in a sense a molding of the two minds. It should be good and if we can add a guy like Herm Edwards then I will be cautiously optimistic about our Peppers-less defense next year.

After such a horrible loss in the playoffs, it would be nice if the Panthers could get Dat Nguyen.

And I thought my jokes were bad.

We can officially close the book on Herm (if you haven't already). ESPN is saying they've got him in the fold. PFT is speculating that they'll heave Emmitt Smith for him.

I will look forward to seeing Herm and Keyshawn face off :)

I agree completely.

I was actually hoping they would have picked up Chuckie. :lol:

Krumrie's still one of my guys. Denny Marcin's out there?

McGinnis wouldn't leave for a lateral move. Venturi's still there, even if Haluchak goes. I thought Martindale was staying in Oakland but he's a Bronco now. I guess, while we're talking Venturi, there's Haslett, desperate for a job.

Maxie is OK. I like Lynn more.

Lynn is more likely given the Fox connection. Maxie has the Panther connection but wasn't here under Fox.

Marcin's status is unclear. It wasn't dead set that the Jets were keeping him. He was demoted in favor of Bryan Cox (the old bird flipping Dolphin) and I believe that gives him the latitude for a promotion.

McGinnis is just my hope since so far he hasn't gotten a DC job anywhere. I'd forgotten Venturi but would be okay with him.

I've been meaning to look back for some of Ron Meeks' prior coaching connections but haven't had time.

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      Sure.    ignore that he said this roster wasn’t good in 2023 to 2024 but keep up the effort

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
