NFL fans are divided over the Carolina Panthers' decision to fire defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, with reactions ranging from long-overdue to misplaced blame.
The move, announced on October 30, 2026, sparked debate across social media. Some supporters argued the dismissal should have happened two to three years ago, while others contended that the defense was not the primary issue in the team's recent performance.
Evero had been with the Panthers since 2023, overseeing a defense that showed flashes of promise but struggled with consistency. A photo from the team's June 9, 2026 mini camp at Bank of America Stadium showed Evero working with cornerback Mike Jackson during practice.
The Panthers have not yet announced a replacement for the defensive coordinator position.
