Good question, and one a LOT of people have been wondering.

Just about out of nowhere on Sunday afternoon, the Carolina Panthers parted ways with offensive coordinator Joe Brady. But is Brady only an outlier or is he actually the first domino to fall in this underwhelming regime?
Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, on the Monday episode of Pro Football Talk Live with Mike Florio, suggested the latter. He cited a brief conversation he had with a knowledgable league source, who believes Brady’s firing could very well be an opening salvo to the staff.
“I got in touch with somebody very much in the know in the NFL. Finger on the pulse of everything,” Florio said. “And I was like ‘Wow, can you believe this Joe Brady thing?’ And the response was three words—’head coach next.'”
Whether that source is professional wrestler Bill Goldberg, they seem to be implying that Panthers head coach Matt Rhule is sitting on a scorching hot seat at the moment. And why wouldn’t he be?
Carolina has gone a combined 10-18 over Rhule’s two campaigns. He’s also made a handful of detrimental decisions at the quarterback position—including releasing Cam Newton, signing (and shipping away) Teddy Bridgewater, trading for Sam Darnold and passing up on both Justin Fields and Mac Jones.
Florio also noted the cutthroat business nature of owner David Tepper, a man that may be growing thin on patience.
“So keep an eye on what happens in Carolina with Matt Rhule,” he added. “Despite all the money they paid him coming in and the fact that they’ve had some highs— more lows than highs—David Tepper, the owner of that team, is going to be very impatient.”
Tick, tock.
