Assistant coaches and where they may come from (a look at the past)

[panther4life]

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
