Panthers Fire Head Coach Matt Rhule

The coach leaves Carolina with an 11–27 overall record.

The Panthers announced Monday morning that the team has parted ways with coach Matt Rhule after three seasons.

The team fell to 1–4 this season after Sunday’s loss to the 49ers. Rhule ends his tenure in Carolina with an 11–27 record and zero postseason appearances.

The 47-year-old still had four years left on the seven-year, $62 million contract that he signed in 2020.

Defensive pass game coordinator and secondary coach Steve Wilks will take over as interim head coach.

The Panthers face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Rams, on Sunday.
