CHARLOTTE, N.C. (WLOS) — After a 1-10 start to his first season at the helm, Panthers owner David Tepper announced Monday that head coach Frank Reich has been fired.
Special Teams Coordinator Chris Tabor will serve as the interim coach, Senior Assistant Jim Caldwell will move to Special Advisor working with the offense, and Offensive Coordinator Thomas Brown will take over play-calling duties.
The Panthers lost to Tennessee Sunday, leaving the team with a 0-6 road game record for the season.
“You think somebody’s gonna magically fix everything? No," Reich said. "We lost a close football game today. These games are winnable. That message doesn’t fly when you’re 1-10 but I know these games are winnable, I know we have the players and the coaches to do that so we regroup and get ready for this week.”
