After firing head coach Matt Rhule Monday morning, the Panthers apparently weren’t done cleaning house. The franchise has also announced it fired defensive coordinator Phil Snow and assistant special teams coordinator Ed Foley.
Just hours after Rhule was given the boot following a 1–4 start to the 2022 campaign, Snow—who has worked with Rhule for the last decade—was shown the door. His dismissal comes after a particularly poor effort from the Panthers’ defense in Sunday’s 37–15 loss to the 49ers.
Through the first five weeks, Carolina ranks 22nd in scoring defense, having yielded 24.4 points per game. The Panthers never ranked in the top half of scoring defense during Snow’s tenure having finished 18th in 2020 and 21st in ’21.
