The Carolina Panthers have fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero following the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The move has drawn criticism from NFL fans, who question head coach Dave Canales' decision and suggest Evero was made a scapegoat for the team's defensive struggles.
Evero had served as the Panthers' defensive coordinator since 2023. The firing comes amid a difficult season for Carolina, with the defense ranking near the bottom of the league in several key categories. Quarterback Bryce Young continues to develop under Canales' offensive system.
