The Carolina Panthers have made three assistant coaching changes, including the official addition of a new role for one assistant coach.
Former Panthers linebacker Everette Brown will be the team’s new assistant linebackers coach, assisting second-year linebackers coach Steve Russ.
Brown, a Wilson, N.C. native and former second-round pick, played the first two of his six NFL seasons in Carolina (2009-10). He also was a coaching intern for the Panthers in 2018, as a part of the Bill Walsh minority coaching internship program.
Former linebacker Ben Jacobs, released by the team this week, has been hired as assistant special teams coach in replacement of Heath Farwell, who took a special teams coordinator position in Buffalo last month.
