Four Assistants Agree to Terms with Panthers

New Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales is beginning to make progress on filling out his coaching staff ahead of his introductory press conference on Thursday. The team announced Tuesday evening that four assistants have agreed to terms to join Canales' staff.

Harold Goodwin - Assistant Head Coach/Run Game Coordinator

After getting his start at the collegiate level, Goodwin entered the NFL coaching space in 2004 with the Chicaco Bears as an assistant offensive line coach. He spent nine years working with the offensive line in some capacity with the Steelers and Colts in addition to Chicago. From 2013-17 he served as the offensive coordinator on Bruce Arians' staff in Arizona and then followed him to Tampa Bay to be the assistant head coach/run game coordinator, the same role he's had for the last five years and will have here in Carolina.

Bernie Parmalee - Running Backs

Parmalee has primarily worked with running backs in the league since 2002 but also has a few years of experience coaching up tight ends and having his hand in the special teams unit, including a one-year stint as the ST Coordinator in Atlanta in 2020. Over the last three seasons, Parmalee was the running backs coach in Jacksonville. This past season, the Jaguars finished 23rd in rushing averaging 96.8 yards per game.

Rob Moore - Wide Receivers

Moore was drafted in the first-round of the supplemental draft in 1990 by the New York Jets and played eleven seasons in the league. He appeared in 153 games and recorded 628 receptions for 9,368 yards and 49 touchdowns. Shortly after hanging up his cleats, he moved into coaching, starting at Montclair High School in New Jersey in 2002. Moore was in charge of the Bills' receiver room from 2013-14, the Raiders from 2015-17, and most recently the Titans from 2018-23.

Joe Gilbert - Offensive Line

Gilbert spent 24 years at the college level working as an offensive line coach, offensive coordinator, and even a head coach for one year at Mansfield in 2000. He worked at Albany, Penn, Northeastern, Maine, Toledo, UCF, Houston, and Illinois. Gilbert made the jump to the NFL in 2012 when he was hired as the assistant o-line coach in Indianapolis. He spent six years in Indy before moving out to Arizona for a year. In 2019, he reunited with Bruce Arians in Tampa Bay as the offensive line coach.
