The Carolina Panthers are sticking with defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero for the 2025 season, but the same can't be said for his supporting cast. After a historically poor defensive performance in 2024, head coach Dave Canales has made significant changes to the defensive coaching staff. In this video, we break down the key departures and new arrivals that could reshape the Panthers' defense.

We'll analyze the impact of losing safeties coach Bert Watts, outside linebackers coach Tem Lukabu, and quality control coach Bobby Maffei. More importantly, we'll dive deep into what the new hires bring to the table.

Join us as we explore the philosophies and track records of:

• Renaldo Hill (Secondary Coach): A former NFL safety, what changes will he implement to a secondary that struggled mightily last season?

• AC Carter (Outside Linebackers Coach): Can Carter unlock the potential of the Panthers' pass rush and improve a run defense that was gashed in 2024?

• Kevin Peterson (Defensive Assistant): As a recent NFL player, what fresh perspective will Peterson offer to the defensive meeting room?
