Tyke Tolbert was named as The Carolina Panthers’ new receivers coach replacing Richard Williamson, who retired earlier in the week.

The announcement was made on Thursday, bringing an end to Tolbert’s six season stint at Buffalo and bringing him over to The Panthers. The experience of Tyke Tolbert will definitely bring a new flavor to The Carolina Panthers.

Tolbert began his coaching career with college jobs at Louisiana-Monroe, Auburn, Louisiana-Lafayette and Florida. He was assigned a short coaching term at the Arizona Cardinals receivers in 2003 before moving over to Buffalo. In his one season with the Cardinals, Tolbert was credited with having coached rookie Anquan Boldin, who made the Pro Bowl that season.

The Panthers are also on the lookout for a special teams coach to replace the fired Danny Crossman. The search has been goin on since last week and is likely to end soon.
