The Carolina Panthers announced on February 8, 2024, that they have agreed to terms with Brad Idzik as offensive coordinator and Tracy Smith as special teams coordinator, while also confirming that Ejiro Evero will remain as defensive coordinator.

The announcement came as part of a restructuring of the team's coaching staff. Evero, who served as defensive coordinator during the 2023 season, was retained despite earlier speculation about his future with the franchise.

Idzik joins the Panthers after previous roles with the Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets, while Smith brings experience from multiple NFL special teams units.
