The Carolina Panthers have the worst record in the NFL, winning just one of their first 11 games. And it looks like the team is making a change at head coach.
On Monday morning, Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper announced that the team was firing head coach Frank Reich.
“I mete with Coach Reich this morning and informed him that he will not continue as head coach of the Carolina Panthers,” Tepper said in a statement shared on social media by Adam Schefter.

“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,” Tepper continued in his statement.
Reich was hired during the offseason to replace the fired Matt Rhule after interim coach Steve Wilks was not retained. This now marks the end of Reich’s time in Carolina after just 11 games with the team. This also marks the second consecutive year that Reich was fired in the middle of the season as he was fired from the Indianapolis Colts after just nine games last year.
