In a step away from the “offensive gurus” segment of the Carolina Panthers’ head coaching search, the team has requested an interview with one of the most acclaimed young defensive minds in the league–Denver’s Ejiro Evero.
The 42-year-old was a bright spot in an otherwise nightmarish season for the Broncos, one that saw their rookie head coach Nathaniel Hackett fired before settling into a 5-12 mark. Evero’s eighth-ranked total defense, however, kept the ponies from completely spiraling out–consistently putting the team in winnable positions that would’ve sufficed for any sort of competent offense.
