Eric Washington curiously keeping position as Panthers DC

The Carolina Panthers made an intriguing announcement on Friday, one that may divide some Panther fans. According to multiple media reports, coach Eric Washington will keep the title of defensive coordinator. This news was first reported by Jordan Rodrigue of the Charlotte Observer.

If there is one caveat to the role, it is that Washington will serve the role he took over at the end of the 2018 season. Head coach Ron Rivera will still call the plays. Steve Taranto of 247Sports has an interesting excerpt in his article. I will just say that I disagree with it, but everybody has a right to their opinion.
