After waiting a few days....
It now appears that Duce Staley is the first of the Panthers new coaching hires. There are no reports yet of "what" his job will be, but it seems most likely he will fill a slot like RB Coach, or Assistant something-or-other. Staley comes from the Detroit Lions where he was a RB Coach. Staley could have been stopped by Detroit from coming to Carolina because it was a "lateral move," however the Lions permitted it because Staley's mother is in poor health and lives close by in South Carolina.
The latest news seems to indicate that Jim Bob Cooter...(I'm not making that up..) is the next acquisition by the Panthers. (Reminds me of that classic one-liner..."....Yee Haw!!..Drive it like you stole it, Bobby Lee.!!") Cooter is a good coach and may in fact become our new OC. His most recent assignment is as Passing Game Coordinator for the Jacksonville Jaguars. It would be a 'logical' transition for Cooter if he wanted to make a jump. Have to wait and see what happens.
