Now that they’ve found their new head coach, the next order of business for the Panthers is to fill out Matt Rhule’s staff. He’ll have plenty of positions to fill, as several coaches have joined Ron Rivera on the Redskins. Of course, Rhule has his own ideas about who he’ll want at those spots.
According to a report by Joe Person at the Athletic, Rhule wants to bring two of his coaches from Baylor with him to Carolina. That includes defensive coordinator Phil Snow and linebackers coach Mike Siravo, who had previously worked with Luke Kuechly back at Boston College.
In addition to Phil Snow as DC, I'm told Panthers coach Matt Rhule also wants to bring Baylor LBs coach Mike Siravo with him to CLT.

Snow’s name has been linked with Rhule’s since this hiring process began. He was the defensive coordinator for both the Baylor and Temple teams that Rhule helped turn around in short order. No hire has been made official as of yet, but it would come as a surprise if anybody but Snow wins the job. This is Rhule’s show and he’ll get who he wants.
There’s no official reporting as of yet, but rumor is Rhule wants Lions quarterbacks coach Sean Ryan to be his offensive coordinator.
