NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Panthers have fired HC Frank Reich.
Heading into Week 11, FOX’s Jay Glazer reported Reich was on the “hottest seat in the league.” A Week 12 loss to the Titans was likely the boiling point for the front office and owner David Tepper, who was reportedly heard shouting expletives while leaving the locker room. We may not ever fully know who was responsible for the disaster that has unfolded in Carolina this season, but No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young’s struggles have been well documented and amplified by the fact that No. 2 overall pick C.J. Stroud has thrived early with the Texans. Rumors are Stroud was the preferred pick over Young by Reich and the staff, but the selection of Young came directly from Tepper. Still, Carolina’s issues extend beyond their rookie quarterback. The Panthers are among the worst pass-blocking units in the league and boast a defense that’s allowing the third-most points per game (26.5). Special teams coordinator Chris Tabor is expected to take over as interim head coach for the remainder of the season, with the Panthers expected to make a run at Lions offensive coordinator Ben Johnson in the offseason. A premium head coaching candidate could be tough to come by with the Panthers not having a first round pick in 2024, and Tepper now moving on to his third head coach in four seasons.
 
What does this do for our chances to win next week ?  We do have a tendency to make backup QB's and Interim head coaches look all world...discuss ?

That was my first thought as well. We all saw how well Oakland played in it's first game after McDaniels was sent packing and how well Pittsburgh's offense played after Canada was given his pink slip.

The main difference between those two situations and this one, I think, is the players hated both McDaniels and Canada. I'm not sure Reich's firing was because of the players. The owner seems to be the main culprit here, at least from what is being reported. It's worth noting the Panthers beat the Bucs 21-3 two weeks after Rhule was fired last season. That's right.  An offense with Tom Brady, Mike Evans, Chris Godwin, etc. scored 3 points against a crappy Panthers team last season.

Yeah the common denominator is that bucs wheels have fallen off. Lost 6 of last 7 and that is likely one reason Carolina chose this week to start a fresh - the Todd Bowles factor 

Carolina sees this as a good opportunity to start off with a win 

something Bucs should have saw with Canales this week

Pretty wild story. If true, feel bad for Reich.  Will he be right back in the saddle somewhere soon?

he's getting paid and can go on to another team that needs an OC (Bills) and double dip.

Now the Panthers have to hire a head coach with no first round pick.  Not to mention an owner with a hot temper and a quick trigger finger.  That's going to put them at the bottom of the totem pole after the season.

I posted this comment in a different thread, but it's even more appropriate here:

This game could be a problem for the Bucs...

Head Coach undeservedly is fired the week before the game.

Interim Head Coach will unleash fire and brimstone to get his players fired up [pun intended].

Panthers players may feel wronged and may take out their discontent on the Bucs.

Another rookie QB, always a threat to make the Bucs pass defense look like ass.

Absolute must win game for Bowles and the Bucs to stay in contention for the division title in by far the worst division in the NFL.

...I'm concerned.

hard not to be concerned about any game since the bye week
 
i mean under Bowles you just hope players don’t get hurt in Practice (hall versus Jensen)
