Panthers Hire New Safeties Coach

Frank Reich makes another addition to the coaching staff.

The Carolina Panthers coaching staff is starting to take shape as Frank Reich has found another piece to his defensive staff, hiring Bert Watts as the new safeties coach according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Watts has coached at several different levels including high school, FCS, FBS, NFL, and even internationally.
