As expected, the Panthers promoted special teams assistant Jeff Rodgers Saturday, moving him up a chair after firing Danny Crossman.
Rodgers spent last year working under Crossman, and had previously been special teams coach at Kansas State for one year (2008). He also spent five years as an assistant special teams coach at San Francisco (2003-07).
“Jeff is an outstanding young coach and I am confident he will do an excellent job,” Panthers head coach John Fox said in a release sent out by the team.
Prior to this, Rodgers' biggest claim to fame was being Saints QB Drew Brees' high school center at Austin, Tex. Westlake High.
