Redskins hire two former Panthers offensive assistants

The Washington Redskins and Carolina Panthers both underwent coaching transitions in 2019, and a number of assistant coaches on both sides of the ball got caught in the crossfire. No Redskins assistants have yet been confirmed to have been retained, and several assistant coaches from Carolina are making their way up to D.C., for a role in Rivera’s new coaching staff.

Per Joe Person, a Carolina Panthers reporter, the Redskins have repeatedly hired former Carolina offensive line coach John Matsko to replace Bill Callahan, and they’ve also hired former Carolina wide receivers coach Jim Hostler, to presumably replace Ike Hilliard.
