Panthers Fire 2 Coaches After TNF Loss — Here’s Why and Replacement Plan

The Carolina Panthers didn’t waste any time. They lost on Thursday Night Football to the Green Bay Packers in Week 8, and on Friday morning, they fired two coaches. It was a quick and startling move for Carolina, which entered Thursday night leading the NFC South Division but has fallen to 3-4 with the loss. The Panthers hoped to repeat as division champs this season but surely wanted to do it with a better record than their 8-9 from a year ago. Instead, it’s again looking like a slog for every team in the NFC South.
