Panthers Part Ways With DC Phil Snow Amid Matt Rhule Firing, per Report

After firing head coach Matt Rhule Monday morning, the Panthers apparently weren’t done cleaning house. According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the franchise has also decided to fire defensive coordinator Phil Snow.

Just hours after Rhule was given the boot following a 1–4 start to the 2022 campaign, Snow—who has worked with Rhule for the last decade—was shown the door. His dismissal comes after a particularly poor effort from the Panthers’ defense in Sunday’s 37–15 loss to the 49ers.

Through the first five weeks, Carolina ranks 22nd in scoring defense, having yielded 24.
