Being a rockstar definitely comes with its perks.
On Monday, the Carolina Panthers began its move away from the Matt Rhule era—firing the head coach, his defensive coordinator Phil Snow and assistant special teams coach Ed Foley. But, as reported by Will Kunkel of FOX Charlotte, the offensive coordinator gets to stay.
According to Kunkel, Ben McAdoo will maintain his post with the organization following’s today string of firings. The 45-year-old, in Rhule’s most notable addition to his staff this offseason, was hired by the organization back in January.
Ben McAdoo will remain offensive coordinator, per sources.

Ironically enough, it’s been McAdoo’s offense that has seemingly slowed this Panthers team down the most in 2022. Before their Week 5 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Carolina ranked last in total yards per game (262.3), offensive plays per game (53.5) and third-down conversion rate (25.5 percent).
And it was just last week, in fact, that McAdoo took up responsibility for his lack of an impact to this point.
“Well, when you look at it, I was brought in here to make an impact, right? And it hasn’t happened yet,” McAdoo said last Thursday. “Now, that doesn’t mean we’re discouraged or . . . it’s, we’re four games in, right?”
Unfortunately, we’re now five games in and the outlook still hasn’t changed. But at least he may have the rest of the season to try and fix that.
