The chopping block in Charlotte claimed two more heads on Monday.
A few hours after dismissing head coach Frank Reich, the Carolina Panthers announced the firings of assistant head coach/running backs coach Duce Staley and quarterbacks coach Josh McCown. The decisions, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, came down from interim head coach Chris Tabor and senior offensive assistant Jim Caldwell.
Here’s how Panthers fans are dealing with the latest departures:

I’m mildly shocked that Jim Caldwell didn’t want to keep Duce Staley around, but I get it https://t.co/FP048RgvX3

I guess Andy Dalton will be Bryce Young’s new QB coach then

Josh McCown and Deuce Staley rank 35282927252562723618188th on the list of problems with the Panthers. This is just David Tepper trying to flex his muscles while continuing to ignore the fact that he’s problem number 1.

Hoping Fitterer is last only because a GM has to execute these terminations.
Then fall on his own sword.

Is Scott Fitterer survives today then nothing has changed. He is a huge reason we are in this situation
