Frank Reich fired by Panthers for second straight midseason ouster

For the second straight year, Frank Reich has been fired midseason.

Carolina announced it fired Reich as its head coach Monday morning, following Sunday’s 17-10 loss to the Titans dropped the Panthers to a league-worst 1-10 in Reich’s first season with the team.

Chris Tabor, the team’s special teams coordinator, will be Carolina’s interim head coach.

Reich, 61, was previously the Colts head coach for five seasons.

Indianapolis fired him in the middle of last season, bringing in Jeff Saturday as the team’s interim coach.

This move also marks the second straight season in which the Panthers have fired a coach during the middle of the season with Matt Rhule being canned after five games in 2022.
