The Carolina Panthers have been busy this offseason making changes to their coaching staff and preparing for the 2019 season. Coach Ron Rivera recently added two former players, Everette Brown and Ben Jacobs, to assist with linebackers and special teams, respectively. In addition, a long awaiting position has finally been assigned.
Defensive line coach Sam Mills III is adding a new title and responsibility this year. Mills will serve as a game management coach to help Rivera with certain aspects related to the clock and other areas. New owner David Tepper has been a proponent of implementing analytics into the sideline and it appears next season now offers the first such test.
