Panthers hire Peter Hansen as LB coach

Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero isn’t coming over to Charlotte alone.

As announced by the team on Wednesday morning, the Panthers have agreed to terms with Peter Hansen—who will serve as the new linebackers coach.

Hansen, a former football and basketball player at the University of Arizona, got his coaching career started with Stanford University in 2008. There, he’d work as the strength and conditioning coach, a defensive assistant and inside linebackers coach over a total of nine years.

In the middle of that tenure came his first NFL stint, as a defensive assistant and quality control coach for the San Francisco 49ers. It’d be there, between 2011 to 2013, where Hansen would cross paths with Evero—who was also a quality control coach and assistant.

Hansen, who’d go on to assume the roles of defensive coordinator and inside linebackers coach for the University of Nevada Las Vegas between 2020 and 2021, was then brought on by Evero and the Denver Broncos for the 2022 season.
