Off-Season Primer: Part Two

The Carolina Panthers enter the off-season an unknown entity. The last nine years represent the best stretch in franchise history. Under Ron Rivera (and interim coach Perry Fewell) the team went 76-67-1 with 4 playoff appearances, 3 (consecutive) division titles and a trip to Super Bowl 50. However, the Panthers remain ringless and hold the dubious distinction of having never posted back to back winning seasons. Enter David Tepper, who in his third year as owner has begun putting his stamp on the organization by adding a sports science division, expanding the front office and removing Rivera in favor of offensive minded Matt Rhule.
