Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich was the second NFL head coach fired this season after the team lost its 10th game of the season Sunday against the Tennessee Titans. 

Reich, 61, was fired Monday after just 11 games and a 1-10 record. He was hired after the Panthers fired former head coach Matt Rhule a few weeks into the 2022 season after two losing seasons and a 1-4 record to start his final year with the team.

"Listen, obviously it’s been a difficult season. Yesterday, we made some tough decisions," owner David Tepper said at a press conference Tuesday. "I have great respect for Frank Reich. He’s a fine man."

But the focus was on Tepper during his news conference, where he was pressed about Reich’s firing, the third under Tepper since he bought the franchise in 2018. 

The team has posted a 30-63 record under his leadership. 

"No," Tepper responded when asked if he thought there would be a struggle to hire a "quality" coach based on his past hirings.

"Again, I’m not going to get into (it) here, but I think that there are different reasons why different things happen in each case," Tepper said.
