Carolina Panthers: Matt Rhule open to putting Kuechly on staff

Add new Carolina Panthers coach Matt Rhule to the list of people who think Luke Kuechly would make a good coach. According to a report from Alex Marvez of SirusXM NFL Radio, Rhule is hoping that Kuechly will join the coaching staff at some point.

This makes sense, as Kuechly was one of the smartest defensive players the Carolina Panthers had. He knew where to go on defense. He also knew how to read an offense, and his intuition as far as knowing the play call on the offensive side of the football was impressive. He’s also somebody that the Panthers had great respect for as a player, so that certainly counts for something if you’re talking about a potential coach.
