Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper has helped build one of the most impressive and diverse coaching staffs in the NFL. But his intentions seemingly go far beyond the upcoming 2023 campaign.
In the latest set of his “Ten Takeaways,” MMQB senior NFL reporter Albert Breer highlighted Carolina’s journey in assembling its new braintrust—which happens to be the only one in the league to feature a Black offensive coordinator and a Black defensive coordinator. Breer notes that Tepper not only wanted to promote diversity on the sidelines, but was also motivated by the NFL’s compensation rules regarding the advancement of minority coaches—with the San Francisco 49ers as the model.
