PANTHERS HC DAVE CANALES FILLS SEVERAL ASSISTANT ROLES

Well, at least we leave the Bucs in a bit of a turmoil lol




CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Carolina Panthers coach Dave Canales has begun to fill out his staff.

The Panthers added four offensive coaches on Tuesday: assistant head coach/run game coordinator Harold Goodwin, running backs coach Bernie Parmalee, wide receivers coach Rob Moore and offensive line coach Joe Gilbert.

The Panthers have yet to name any of their three coordinators, although the team is likely to retain defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Several teams have reportedly requested to speak with Evero for a lateral move, but the Panthers have thus far refused to grant permission.

Tampa Bay wide receivers coach Brad Idzik is considered a front-runner for the offensive coordinator position.

Carolina's new assistants have plenty of coaching and playing experience.
Goodwin won two Super Bowls with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Tampa Bay, and served the past five seasons as the Buccaneers' assistant head coach/run game coordinator. He has also spent time with the Chicago Bears, Indianapolis Colts, and Arizona Cardinals.

Parmalee played running back for the New York Jets and Miami Dolphins, and has coached the last three seasons with the Jacksonville Jaguars. He previously was an assistant with four other teams in addition to working at Notre Dame.

Moore played wide receiver for the Jets and Cardinals and has spent the last six seasons with the Tennessee Titans as their wide receivers coach. He has also coached for the Buffalo Bills and Las Vegas Raiders.

Gilbert has spent the past five seasons with the Buccaneers

It is interesting that the Bucs did not have their assistants under contract.

Per the Panthers website, it is official:

Panthers Officially Hire Four Assistant Coaches (msn.com)

The Carolina Panthers announced they officially hired four assistant coaches on Tuesday, including assistant HC and run game coordinator Harold Goodwin, running backs coach Bernie Parmalee, wide receivers coach Rob Moore, and offensive line coach Joe Gilbert.


Goodwin, 50, began his NFL coaching career with the Bears as an offensive line assistant back in 2004. He spent five years with the Steelers and one season with the Colts before joining the Cardinals as their offensive coordinator back in 2013.

The Buccaneers hired him as assistant head coach and run game coordinator in 2019.

Parmalee, 56, began his coaching career as the Dolphins tight ends and special teams coach in 2003-2004 and was hired to the same role at Notre Dame from 2005-2009. He became the Chiefs’ tight ends coach in 2010-2012 and became the Raiders’ running backs coach from 2015-2017.
From there, Parmalee held multiple roles with the Falcons from 2018-2020 before signing with the Jaguars to be their running backs coach for the last three years.

I thought the same thing.  Couldn't help wondering whose teeth were being gnashed this morning.
