After Ten Heartbreaking Losses, Furious Panthers Owner Fires Head Coach, QB Coach & Assistant Head Coach

This season has been quite challenging for the Carolina Panthers. With a disheartening record of just one win against ten losses, the team’s struggle is evident. Their trouble is particularly visible in their offensive play. With the team’s high-profile signings like Miles Sanders and rookie quarterback Bryce Young underperforming, the pressure is mounting.

Amidst these turbulent times, a major shake-up within the coaching staff has made the headlines. It is definitely hinting at drastic measures to resurrect the team’s fortunes. The Panthers are looking at a significant announcement that could redefine the team’s trajectory, bringing major changes to their coaching members.

Panthers revamp coaching staff amidst struggles

The Panthers have made significant moves in terms of their shaking up of the coaching staff. The Carolina team has terminated the contracts of quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley. This move followed the earlier dismissal of head coach Frank Reich. These moves are hinting at a major overhaul in response to the team’s disappointing performance.

Tom Pelissero reported this news on his X account. He captioned saying, “The #Panthers also fired QB coach Josh McCown and assistant head coach/RB coach Duce Staley, per sources.” The Panthers’ offense has notably faltered in the 2023 season, ranking 29th in rushing yards with an average of just 92.6 per game.

Despite high expectations, free agent acquisition Miles Sanders has yet to make a significant impact. Until now, he has only contributed 302 yards and a single touchdown from 97 carries in 10 games. Additionally, rookie quarterback, Bryce Young, the first pick in the 2023 Draft, has had challenges adjusting to the NFL.

He has a pass completion rate of only 61% and a nearly equal touchdown to interception ratio. Now, the decisions to release McCown and Staley will help the team or not, will be evident in their next match.

Panthers all set to take on the Buccaneers

Struggling to replicate their early-season defensive prowess and grappling with an erratic offense, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers face a critical moment in their season. They are coming in with a 4-7 record. Regardless, they still have a shot at the NFC South title, thanks largely to the division’s overall lackluster performance this year.

Meanwhile, the Panthers are coming in with a 1-10 record. In Week 13, the Buccaneers, buoyed by a home-field advantage at Raymond James Stadium and favored by DraftKings, are set to clash with the Panthers.

This matchup on December 3rd is pivotal for Tampa Bay’s efforts to close the gap in their division. It’s equally important for the Panthers to secure a win this time, as their record looks really poor as of now. What do you think? Which team will win? Let us know below.
