With coaching staff in place, what's next for Carolina Panthers?
Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper understands he can’t buy the talent likely needed to build a Super Bowl-caliber roster this year given the team’s current salary cap limitations. The billionaire also understands, as he said after making Frank Reich the sixth head coach in franchise history, there are no salary cap limitations on building a staff. Reich was able to lure two former NFL head coaches to his staff in senior defensive consultant Dom Capers, 72, and senior assistant Jim Caldwell, 68. The Panthers' staff has won a combined 10 Super Bowl rings and has a combined 191 years of NFL coaching experience. But for the Panthers to become a playoff team for the first time since the 2017 season, a lot has to happen.
