The Panthers were hoping their new quarterback and new head coach would turn things around in Carolina, but it has been the exact opposite. Head coach Frank Reich was fired Monday after the Panthers’ 1-10 start, and first-overall pick Bryce Young has struggled in his first season.
Young said everyone played a part in the Reich firing — by not playing well enough. When asked if he feels somewhat responsible for the head coach’s dismissal, Young said (via ESPN),”We all do. We all share in that.”
The Panthers, who have the worst record in the league, are 27th in passing yards (2,245), tied for fourth-fewest passing touchdowns (11), 30th in first-down percentage, 29th in sacks (43), 29th in rushing yards (1,019) and tied for last in rushing touchdowns (three). On defense, they are tied for the second-fewest interceptions (five) and sacks (18).
There is not one person to point to in their failure, as they have issues on all sides of the ball, but owner David Tepper felt starting at the top and letting Reich go was best for the team.
