Carolina Panthers fire head coach Frank Reich after 11 games
The Carolina Panthers have reportedly fired head coach Frank Reich after a 1-10 start in his first season with the team, according to Tom Pelissero. After falling to the Tennessee Titans in a 17-10 game on Sunday, the Panthers and team owner David Tepper are moving on from the former Colts skipper.
Carolina’s sole win so far this season came against the Houston Texans. It was a 15-13 victory. Through the first 11 games, the Panthers scored more than 20 points just three times.
The firing comes after the organization went all-in to grab rookie quarterback Bryce Young with the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
David Tepper released a statement shortly after the news broke on Monday morning:
“I met with Coach Reich this morning and informed him that he will not continue as head coach of the Carolina Panthers. I want to thank Frank for his dedication and service, and we wish him well. Effective immediately, special teams coordinator Chris Tabor will be a special advisor to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who will take over play-calling duties.”
