The Carolina Panthers offseason has been riddled with change. Although expected after owner David Tepper relieved long-time coach Ron Rivera of his duties with four regular season games to play, a few unexpected surprises have already unfolded and the new league year is still over a month away.
Hiring a coach from the collegiate ranks preceded linebacker Luke Kuechly shockingly announcing early retirement. Rivera landed in Washington and took some of the former staff with him, in addition to the uncertain future of franchise quarterback Cam Newton.
Tepper made waves hiring Matt Rhule from Baylor and now LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady is taking the reigns for his offense.
