Ejiro Evero’s time in Charlotte may already be coming to an end. And if it is, he may have a few exit strategies available to him.
One of those could be an even greater opportunity out west, as the Seattle Seahawks are reportedly holding a second interview with the Carolina Panthers defensive coordinator on Saturday for their head-coaching vacancy. ESPN senior NFL insider Adam Schefter was first with the news this morning.
Evero, who also reached the second stage of the Atlanta Falcons’ search, impressed in his first year with the organization. Despite a catalog of injuries to key players and a lack of complementary football from the team’s struggling offense, the Panthers finished fourth in total defense this past season.
His future in Carolina, however, is more uncertain than it’s ever been this offseason.
With the new duo of president of football operations/general manager Dan Morgan and head coach Dave Canales now in place, the coaching staff may experience quite an overhaul in the coming weeks. We already saw the first dominoes drop last night, as the team is seemingly planning on parting ways with special teams coordinator Chris Tabor and offensive line coach James Campen.
Offensive coordinator Thomas Brown is also likely on the outs. The Panthers have reportedly requested interviews with Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receivers coach Brad Idzik and Philadelphia Eagles senior offensive assistant Marcus Brady for Brown’s position.
