Panthers hire assistant o-line coach

[rayzor]

kind of a crowded situation in san fran. had 3 Oline coaches and he was going to be the one with the smallest job. was more of a luxury for them.

fwiw...

also, worth noting that he retired after the '05 season but then was brought back to work with that redskins as an oline coach in '06 and was considered a player-coach when he was a player and was used to mentor the guys.

couple decent reads on him...

his focus in san fran was going to be working with the OTs and TEs.

seems like a good hire and at 48 years old a good counter to the 60 year old matsko.

that first link is a great story. i remember thinking about him as an old player who should retire when i was watching football as a teenager. yet he kept hanging on. his position changes probably bode well for his approach to technique and flexibility. good hire, ideal role for a guy like this.

As I recall, he had played for them, and played well. He was well-liked there as a player and a coach, from what I understood.

It'd be kind of like us having Ricky Proehl, then a new coach ditching him.
