The Carolina Panthers are reportedly interviewing former Indianapolis Colts head coach Frank Reich for their head coach vacancy, according to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports.
Reich is expected to get some interest around the league after the Colts fired him during the middle of the 2022 season. The Panthers were the first team to part ways with their head coach this season, firing Matt Rhule after five games.
Steve Wilks took over as the interim head coach in Charlotte, going 6-6 to end the season.
According to Jay Glazer, Frank Reich will interview with Panthers for their head coaching position.

Reich’s tenure with the Colts ended on a dramatic note as owner Jim Irsay stepped in to make the decision. Though the Colts were a struggling 3-5-1 team, they finished 1-7 on a seven-game losing streak with Jeff Saturday as the interim head coach.
There are areas Reich will need to improve upon wherever he gets a job next, but he was proven to be a smart offensive mind, a strong leader and a benefit to the local community. He led the Colts to a 40-33-1 regular season record while going 1-2 in the playoffs during his time with the Colts.
As the Colts begin their search for a new head coach, Reich is likely to have his share of interviews this offseason.
