I'm sure he will do alot better with Carolina. They have a better secondary than the Giants did. Wish him all the luck.
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Jan. 19, 2007) -- The Carolina Panthers hired former New York Giants defensive coordinator Tim Lewis as their new secondary coach.
Lewis, who was fired by the Giants last week, replaces Rod Perry, one of three Panthers' coaches fired Jan. 15.
Lewis was the first assistant hired when Tom Coughlin took over the Giants in 2004. Lewis had two good seasons, but the Giants' defense struggled this season, ranking among the worst in the league by allowing an average of 342 yards a game and 228 passing yards a game.
Before joining New York, Lewis spent nine seasons with the Pittsburgh Steelers, five as secondary coach and four as defensive coordinator.
"Tim's experience as both a player and coach in the NFL provide him with a sound knowledge of the defensive backfield," Panthers coach John Fox said. "Our staff is familiar with him and we think he will make strong contribution to our defense."
Lewis, who played four seasons with the Green Bay Packers in the 1980s, takes over a Panthers secondary that struggled in 2006. Cornerback Ken Lucas was plagued by injuries and Chris Gamble gave up numerous big plays. Safety Mike Minter had an up-and-down year and turned 33 this week.
The Panthers must also replace offensive coordinator Dan Henning and offensive line coach Mike Maser. Both were fired along with Perry.
Two of Fox's assistants, quarterbacks coach Mike McCoy and running backs coach Jim Skipper, and Cincinnati Bengals quarterbacks coach Ken Zampese are among the candidates to replace Henning, who was let go after a disappointing 8-8 season that began with Super Bowl hopes.
Partly due to injuries, the Panthers averaged only 16.8 points per game, nearly eight fewer than 2006.
