There aren't many coordinators around the league under more pressure than Ejiro Evero heading into the 2025 campaign. And the once highly-touted coach could have done without another capitulation from his Carolina Panthers' defense in their preseason opener.
Evero got a reprieve from the Panthers this offseason despite overseeing a historically bad campaign. Carolina didn't have the personnel to implement its contentious 3-4 base scheme effectively, and the consequences were severe. Giving up the most single-season points in NFL history and more than 3,000 rushing yards was a complete embarrassment — one he'd do well to avoid a repeat of this time around.
