The Carolina Panthers have agreed to terms with Jim Caldwell to be a senior assistant on Frank Reich's coaching staff, the team announced Tuesday.
He will help Reich with offense, defense and special teams.
Caldwell, 68, was one of nine candidates to interview for the Panthers' head-coaching job, which went to Reich. He is the second of those candidates to join Reich's staff, joining Ejiro Evero, who was hired as the team's defensive coordinator.
Reich and Caldwell were both on Tony Dungy's Indianapolis Colts staff, starting in 2006 when Reich was a coaching intern and Caldwell was assistant head coach and quarterbacks coach.
