Panthers part ways with Nate Carroll as passing game coordinator

The Carolina Panthers are parting ways with passing game coordinator Nate Carroll, a league source told The Athletic on Friday.

The son of former Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll spent a year on the inaugural staff of Panthers coach Dave Canales, who knew the younger Carroll from their time together in Seattle.

Canales has now moved on from four assistants since the end of the Panthers’ 5-12 season. Outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu, safeties coach Bert Watts and defensive quality control coach Bobby Maffei were let go last week. Rumblings about Carroll’s future also surfaced recently while his father was drawing interest in head coaching vacancies in Chicago and Las Vegas.

Carroll came to Charlotte after 14 years on his father’s staff in Seattle, where he held a variety of roles, mostly on the offensive side. He was one of several ex-Seahawks assistants who joined Canales when he was hired by Carolina after one year as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers’ offensive coordinator.

Interesting...

I like PETE Carroll. Having his son here was an OK step forward I thought. Another thought that crossed my mind was about the possibility of Pete Carroll coming here as a new Offensive Coordinator. I guess that's not going to happen, so whether or not his son stayed on staff was sort of a moot point. I'm not sure that it makes any difference in our future.  Same way I feel about the past year.... not sure that it made any difference having him here as a Passing-Game Coordinator, one way or the other.
So, this is sort of a "meh, so what?" -- AFAIC

We should have done ANYTHING to have held in to Luvu. And paid Chinn.

From what I understand...Luvu took less money to move on.  Ouch.  I was disappointed that Evero never seemed to know how to use Chinn.
