Panthers Fire DC Ejiro Evero & Jonathan Cooley

It’s scapegoating season.

I thought their defense was ok last night. Their oline stank and Bryce Young has the pocket presence of a grapefruit. So I'm sure firing the DC will turn it around.

Agreed. I thought being down their top 4 corners by the end of the game and holding the packers to around 60 yards on the ground was pretty good

They dropped at least 2 ints as well.

They should be looking to upgrade the LT or run him off, he was horrible last night and Young had no time to throw

Panthers defensive pass-game coordinator Jonathan Cooley also is out, as @JFowlerESPN reported. https://t.co/P0D8192PJA

Panthers have named defensive line coach Todd Wash their interim defensive coordinator.

This is NFL’s first in-season coordinator firing this year. There have been play-caller changes, but not firings until this morning, when the Panthers moved on from Ejiro Evero. pic.twitter.com/Sgfbt72gWk

Should have fired the training staff.
