This year marks the first time that the Panthers have blown up the entire coaching staff. A few coaches were left over from the Capers regime when Seifert got here, as well for Fox when he got here.

I did some research on who Fox brought in with him or who he and Hurney agreed on.

Offensive Coordinator: Dan Henning

Defensive Coordinator: Jack Del Rio

Defensive line coach: Mike Trgovac

Running Bakcs Coach: Jim Skipper

Defenive asst: Sal Sunseri

Defensive Backs coach: Rod Perry

Henning came directly from the Jets as their QB'S coach but was also a coordinator and a handful of other postions with several teams in the past, inclduing some college.

Del Rio Made the jump from player to Linebackers coach for 3 years at Baltimore before landing a job here. He only stuck around for 1 year and then got his own gig with the Jags

Mike Trgovac got his start in the mid 80's as a graduate assistant with Michigan, then bounced around to other colleges,then to the NFL but was always a defensive line coach until getting promoted to coordinator with us

Jim Skipper is the only one with a direct link to Fox, as he held the same position with the giants for a few years before doing a 1 year stint as a head coach for the failed XFL leauge

Sal Sunseri came aboard as defenisve asst after spending his whole coaching career in the college ranks. He was later promoted to d-line coach after Trgovac got his promotion

Rod Perry held the same position with the Chargers before making the lateral move to come join us

      Panthers Top 15 Paid Players at Position

      I think you have a very simplistic view of a pretty complex system, hence why you are getting emotional and confused. The league is going through a market adjustment period for several reasons(COVID cap freeze, new TV deal, etc) but paying top dollar for players that aren't clearly elite isn't typically a wise long term investment, regardless of market changes. Overpays literally happen every single offseason. We should know, we have done it over and over. Miles Sanders, Ian Thomas, CMC, etc, etc.

      True. So you can say that he is not worth the money because he has missed a bunch of games - and thats a fair argument. But you can also say that when he is available he is 'one of' the best CB's in the league.  But now you need to value that. I doubt that he takes a deal worth less then he did (obviously) so then you need to determine is the draft pick we are going to get back for him worth it.  So you can do what we did, or you can trade the player, thereby making the defence worse, but you have most cap space sitting there.  So on sundays when we are getting blown out, you can still feel good that we have a lot of cap space.

      I don't know if that is true or not. Probably no one does because I don't think the Panthers FO ever listened to any offers for him. It doesn't really matter anyway, it's not like the Burns deal where a leak laid it all bare. Horn is here to stay. We just have to hope he stays healthy and proves to be worth the money.
