Good read. Early on mentioned him as a teacher. Also...has a masters in Ed. Could be a gem. Wondering if he was the scapegoat.

[Dpantherman]

Is this considered a good hire?

he has a good record. his Olines have given up 76 sacks the past two seasons but the run game has been great. trade off. oline coach for the rams during their SB/greatest show on turf years

[CarolinaPanthers8789]

Well our O-Line knows how to play as shown by Doulbe Trouble's outstanding performance two years ago. However, it is up to Matska and the whole line to play up to their potential as all Panthers fans know they can play at a top 5 O-Line Corp. It also helps to be healthy throughout the entire regular season.

Guilty.

[KillerKat]

I like every one of these hires. Haven't ever been able to say that bout this organization. Hope the good hires keep coming.

[drnll4]

yea

[Cavscout]

Matsko is a really good hire, IMO

[Mr. Scot]

Hired so far…

Offensive Coordinator - Rob Chudzinski (former TE Coach, Chargers)

OL Coach - John Matsko (former OL Coach, Ravens)

Defensive Coordinator - Sean McDermott (former DC, Eagles)*

Secondary Coach - Ron Meeks (former DC, Panthers)

Special teams Coach - Brian Murphy (ST Coach, Vikings)

Defensive Quality Control/Assistant Defensive Line - Sam Mills III (previous Defensive QC, Panthers)

Interviews:

QB Coach - Mike Shula (QB Coach, Jaguars)

WR Coach - Ricky Proehl (former WR, Cardinals, Rams, Panthers)

Still pending…

RB Coach

TE Coach

DL Coach

LB Coach

I have a feeling the people the team has in mind for the remaining openings are probably on playoff teams.

[JungleCat]

So far, so good.

Guess that means he'll be here next wk! RT @alexmarvez D.Wannstedt is back in the NFL. He's the new asst head coach/linebackers in Buffalo.

He would have made a nice addition to our staff

You've gotta think Chud will double duty with TEs as much success as he's had with them. It's such a small group that it wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

Don't know. With the Bucs letting go of Pete Mangurian, I might look there.

Info here: Bucs fire offensive line coach Mangurian despite success

(not really a headline you wanna see associated with your team) :skep:

Here's a bio from his days as a Patriots TE Coach: (link)

Plus, he's recently fired and has a last name that starts with 'M' so he should fit in neatly with our new philosophy

[Jackofalltrades]

Reading a Ravens board most were disappointed to see Matsko go, said he was scapegoated for a lot of injuries and forced to play guys out of position.

Personally, I think he and most of the staff have been very good choices. On paper, probably the best we've ever has. We'll see how that translates to the field.

[The Saltman]

i like him for te as well
