Panthers to hire Frank Reich as next head coach

Frank Reich has landed another head-coaching job.

After being fired midseason by the Indianapolis Colts, Reich was announced Thursday as the next head coach of the Carolina Panthers.

Reich, 61, played quarterback for the Panthers in 1995 — the franchise's first year of existence — as part of his 14-year playing career. He moved into the coaching world with the Colts in 2006 and worked his way through the ranks, including a notable stint as the offensive coordinator of the Philadelphia Eagles when the franchise won its first Super Bowl after the 2017 season.
