Behind every good leader should be an even better supporting cast. And in a stacked NFC South, there are numerous excellent football minds serving on coaching staffs.
Defensive coordinator: Mike Smith
Special teams coordinator: Nate Kaczor
Smith headlines this group as the former head coach of the Atlanta Falcons. Monken enters his second season as an NFL offensive coordinator, while Kaczor previously coached special teams with the Tennessee Titans (2013-15) before joining the Buccaneers staff.
Defensive coordinator: Steve Wilks
Special teams coordinator: Thomas McGaughey
The Panthers promoted Steve Wilks from defensive backs coach after Sean McDermott left to become the head coach of the Buffalo Bills.
