Brady Hoke goes pro for the first time in his career

As the Carolina Panthers continue filling their coaching vacancies, coach Ron Rivera and new defensive coordinator Eric Washington have reportedly enlisted the services of former Michigan coach Brady Hoke.

Hoke most recently served as the defensive line coach for Tennessee, taking over for Butch Jones as interim head coach after the latter was fired in November. In two games, Hoke lost 30-10 to No. 21 LSU and 42-24 against rival Vanderbilt.

The now former collegiate coach is making his debut on the professional level as the Panthers defensive line coach under Rivera and Washington.
