There is precious little information available at this time. At least "OFFICIAL" information. There are a couple of things we know for sure. ONE, Interim HC, Steve Wilks, will NOT be back for another stressful, and stress-filled, year. And TWO, new HC, Frank Reich, will take over Wilks' job. That's about all we know for sure. Well.... There's one more thing. Because Wilks is gone, we (fans..??) will have to find another scapegoat to harass every time the Panthers lose a game.
Anyway, we are now almost through the first week of Reich's reign (a little alliteration there..). With his first actual "presser" happening tomorrow, maybe we will gain some insight into the direction the Panthers are taking.
Before that prestigious event happens, there are a couple of things worth noting. Panthers DC Al Holcomb will follow Wilks 'out the door' and will NOT be retained (so sayeth the soothsayers at Panthers Wire..). This, of course, is not a surprise, as Holcomb was a devotee of Wilks and probably would have caused at least some degree of consternation.

Another thing worth noting.... The Panthers have "wiped the board" clean on the official website. On the "Team" page, under the "Coaches" heading, there are absolutely none listed....other than new HC Frank Reich. That would seem to indicate that ALL "sub" coaching positions are up for grabs.

Then we have the "unofficially official" statements made by the folks over at Panthers Wire quoting Joe Person at The Athletic. Who we are led to believe is "in the know"...... Said information indicating that the Panthers are indeed going to retain ST Coordinator, Chris Tabor, and O-line Coach, James Campen.
PANTHERS WIRE: Joe Person says.."???" Panthers To Retain....
So, that's all we know at this time. I suspect we will be hearing something more 'definite' shortly. It's almost a 'sure thing' ---- sort of..??
If any of you folks out there know anything for certain..... OR, if you just want to stir the pot.... Please hold forth.
