Quarterback Bryce Young will complete his rookie season with a different head coach than the one he started with. The Carolina Panthers have fired Frank Reich, the NFL team announced on Monday.

The Panthers lost to the Tennessee Titans 17-10 on Sunday to sink 1-10, the worst record in the NFL.

An NFL quarterback, offensive coordinator and head coach of the Indianapolis Colts before joining Carolina, Reich was in his first season with the Panthers, on the ground floor of the NFL team’s rebuild with Young as its cornerstone.

Carolina chose the former Alabama All-American and Heisman Trophy winner with the first pick in the NFL Draft on April 27. Young has started every 2023 game but one for the Panthers, sitting out the third contest of the season with an ankle injury.

Carolina ranks 29th in points per game and 30th in yards per game among the NFL’s 32 teams this season. The Panthers haven’t scored more than 15 points in any of their past five games.

Special-teams coordinator Chris Tabor will step into the role of interim head coach for Carolina, which has six games remaining in the 2023 season, starting with a trip to play the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday.

Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown will assume the play-calling duty that Reich had performed.
