no news yet on assistant coaches?

[methodtoll]

Last we heard, it would take a few days to assemble a staff under Fox and Meeks. It is now officially two days after the Superbowl and everything is silent. Is it suppose to be a slow process?

[Cavscout]

Some ideas:

a-The Panthers are in an assistant coach bidding war to get the coaches they want (There are 20 new defensive coordinators this year and alot of assistants changing teams elsewhere also)

b-They are waiting on the Colts to release some assistants under Meeks while the Colts are waiting for the Panthers to hire coaches before releasing them

c-They are spending their time with attorneys fighting prostitution allegations

d-They have no clue what they are doing

[Seamonk]

Has there been any news about any interviews? Interviewing people usually means they're looking...

[Mr. Scot]

They have one confirmed interview: Mike Haluchak for LB coach.

As to the rest, Gantt has said it's taking a lot longer than the Panthers hoped. No specific reason why has yet come out, so it's all speculative at this point.

or e) there is a problem here and it is not an attractive job...thus we will get the leftovers.

Wasn't Haluchak one of your suggestions or am I thinking of someone else?

Magnus brought up his name first. I agreed.

(pull up one of the 'assistant coach' threads, you'll see both his and mine)

ASSISTANTS!?!?!?! We don't need no stinking ASSISTANTS!!!

We have John Fox!

[magnus]

yeah, nothing new. I can talk ad-nauseum about this subject but there's literally nothing else to say on the guys I want.

As I'm blogging now, the Raiders finally hired Cable, which might force Haluchak's hand one way or another. Same for Krumrie, who's still technically under contract in KC but they're about to hire their new coach.

[Badbak]

Maybe the Panthers had to wait untill after the SB so they could go after some Steeler assistants or even Cards assistants. Or could it be they are not having any luck because some of the ex panthers assistants have put the word out that Carolina is not the place to go?

[magnus]

it's not likely Cards/Steelers assistants. Traditionally, if staffers are allowed to leave they do so for promotions (and we really don't have anything that's a step up given we have position coach openings only) or to go with a newly-hired Todd Haley, for instance.

[Snake]

It dont seem good.
