BREAKING NEWS! FRANK REICH FIRED

CHARLOTTE — The Panthers were looking for answers on offense when they hired Frank Reich as head coach last offseason. They still are.

The 1-10 Panthers parted ways with their head coach Monday, 11 games into a season that saw them make little progress on the side of the ball upon which they invested so many resources this offseason.

"I met with Coach Reich this morning and informed him that he will not continue as head coach of the Carolina Panthers," owner David Tepper said in a statement. "I want to thank Frank for his dedication and service, and we wish him well.

"Effective immediately, special teams coordinator Chris Tabor will serve as our interim head coach. Senior assistant Jim Caldwell will be a special advisor to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, who will take over play calling duties."

Through 11 weeks, the Panthers rank near the bottom of the league in total offense and scoring and haven't scored more than 15 points in a game since the bye week. They're 30th in the league in total offense and 30th in passing yards per game.

That was not what they were hoping for this offseason when they hired Reich with a mandate to build the kind of staff to develop No. 1 overall pick and former Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young.

Not sure what to think of Chris Tabor as Head Coach, but it can't get worse than it was

He has experience as an interim with the Bears although brief:

On January 12, 2018, Tabor was hired by the Chicago Bears as their special teams coordinator under head coach Matt Nagy, reuniting with the team he started his NFL career.[7]


On October 25, 2021, Nagy tested positive for COVID-19. This resulted in Tabor taking over as the interim head coach and making his NFL head coaching debut in the Bears' Week 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers on October 31, 2021. The Bears lost 33-22 in Tabor's debut.

Chris Tabor is NOT a fire and brimstone type of guy.  He IS a quietly effective coach. I've thought many times that he was a "cerebral" type who could get things done and inspire his guys to perform. He KNOWS football ---- and THAT is a good thing.

It's bound to be better..... because it is impossible to be worse.  (Well, I guess it could be the same..???)

I didn't know that he was 'Interim' in Chicago...(???)  How about that.??

We are the new browns

I had to fetch me brown trousers when I heard the news of his firing lol
