Is this another move portending a switch to a 3-4 defensive front?
The Carolina Panthers have hired 2009 second round pick Everette Brown to be their assistant linebackers coach. Brown is famously part of Marty Hurney’s questionable history with over-drafting undersized defensive linemen. Hurney traded a 2010 first round pick to move up in the 2009 second round to make the selection. Brown bounced around the league until 2015, but struggled to make an impact on the field. He only played two seasons with the Panthers.
The Panthers have hired Everette Brown as their assistant linebackers coach, per source. Brown was drafted by the team in 2009 and spent last training camp as a coaching intern with the team.

This isn’t just a publicity stunt to bring an old player home, the Panthers are hoping to spin his experience as a pass rushing linebacker into a positive as they are reportedly aiming to twist their defensive philosophy to incorporate more 3-4 looks in 2019.
It also isn’t a hire that is completely out of the blue. Brown spent last off season as a coaching intern with the Panthers and clearly made enough of an impression to be hired this year.
