It’s been a long season for the Carolina Panthers. This time last year, there was some semblance of hope and optimism as the franchise looked for its next head coach with a group of players seemingly ready to make a run at the NFC South post-Tom Brady. That disintegrated quickly. One massive trade, two more firings, and the worst record in franchise history later, the Panthers are in a worse spot. They are looking for a new general manager and head coach following a 2-15 season with a disappointing offense and offseason acquisitions that did not pan out as expected. A new regime is needed for the betterment of the franchise.
