CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- As the 12:10 p.m. pairing headed to the first tee at Quail Hollow Club on Wednesday a fan shouted, “Coach! Coach!”
Two men walked his way.
They were current Carolina Panthers coach Ron Rivera and former Panthers coach John Fox, playing with PGA professional Tony Finau in the Wells Fargo Championship Pro-Am.
It’s not every day you see the person who was fired hanging out with the person who replaced him, but as Finau noted sports isn’t like everyday life.
“If there is a lot of animosity between guys that get fired and get hired you’ll not see a lot of friends in the sports world because it happens every day,” he said.
