The Carolina Panthers did more than just roll out the hirings of six new faces on Thursday. They also announced the returns of 13 familiar ones.
In addition to their additions, the team is retaining 13 assistant coaches—headlined by defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero. Evero will be joined back by his entire defensive staff.
The group is as follows:
- Dom Capers (defensive assistant)
- Todd Wash (defensive line coach)
- Bert Watts (secondary/safeties coach)
- Jonathan Cooley (secondary/cornerbacks coach)
- Peter Hansen (inside linebackers coach)
- Tem Lukabu (outside linebackers coach)
- DeAngelo Hall (assistant defensive backs coach)
- Mayur Chaudhari (defensive assistant)
- Bobby Maffei (defensive quality control coach)
Carolina will also keep a few offensive minds in senior assistant Jim Caldwell and offensive assistant Mike Bercovici. Game management coordinator George Li will be staying on as well.
Along with Evero, the organization previously announced the hirings of their two new coordinators in Brad Idzik and Tracy Smith—who will lead the offense and special teams, respectively.
