The Carolina Panthers endured an offseason filled with uncertainty but the anticipation of a new football season kept things moving forward. Changing ownership for the first time in franchise history, Carolina found David Tepper to fill the role vacated by founder Jerry Richardson last December.
While a change in ownership and allegations of workplace misconduct, complete with an NFL investigation, was responsible for a majority of the questions surrounding the Panthers, many changes were also taking places on both the roster and coaching staff.
Coach Ron Rivera returns for his eighth season leading Carolina but he will be flanked by new coordinators in every facet of the game.
