Curtis Fuller, the Panthers defensive backs coach, stepped down amidst allegations of workplace misconduct. The Panthers didn’t have an answer to replacing him, until now. Richard Rodgers, former special teams coordinator turned assistant coach, has stepped in alongside Jeff Imamura to fill the void. Rodgers has been around for awhile and knows the system, so this is a decent short term fix for the position coaching vacancy.
In addition, Mark Carrier has went from director of player engagement to senior advisor to the General Manager, Marty Hurney. You may remember Carrier as a long time Panthers wide receiver, having played 12 seasons with the team.
