Carolina Panthers fire head coach Matt Rhule
The Carolina Panthers have fired (now former) head coach Matt Rhule after a terrible 1-4 start to the season.
The New York City native and former New York Giants coach (Rhule was a part of Tom Coughlin’s staff in 2012) is the first coach fired in the 2022 season.
Rhule was hotly pursued during the 2020 head coaching cycle and was widely considered to be the Giants’ first choice for head coach that year. The Giants chose to not match the massive seven-year, $62 million contract offered to Rhule by the Panthers. Instead, the Giants quickly moved to hire Joe Judge away from the New England Patriots.
