CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Panthers coach Frank Reich is turning over the playcalling for rookie quarterback Bryce Young to offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, he confirmed Monday.
Brown, 37, is in his first year as an NFL offensive coordinator. He came to Carolina from the Rams, where he was the assistant head coach in addition to coaching tight ends and running backs the past couple of seasons.
His first game of calling plays for the 0-6 Panthers, the only winless team in the NFL, will be an Oct. 29 home game against the Texans after the bye week.
Reich has adamant from the day he took the job that he was best fitted to call plays for Young, the top pick of the draft, but that one day he would turn the duties over.
