Panthers coach Matt Rhule is building his staff, which will include a lot of familiar faces for him. Just before Sunday’s conference championship games got started, we learned of two new hires thanks to some weekend social media sleuthing by the Charlotte Observer.
First, Frisman Jackson has been hired as the team’s new wide receivers coach. Jackson broke the news by sharing their logo as his new profile pic on Twitter (H/T Alaina Getzenberg).
A native of Chicago, Jackson played college ball at Western Illinois and then was a wide receiver for the Browns four years.
As far as his coaching career goes, Jackson is one of several assistants who are expected to make the jump with Rhule from Baylor to the Panthers. He also worked with Rhule at Temple. Jackson has coaching experience in the NFL, working as the Titans’ wide receivers coach in 2017. Jackson held the same role for North Carolina State from 2013-2014.
In related news, the team has hired Jeremy Scott as their new strength and conditioning coach, per Getzenberg.
Scott replaces Joe Kenn, who had the job since 2011. His contract was set to expire at the end of the month.
