Coordinator Joe Brady Triggered the Panthers Attack

After LSU won the 2019 national championship, offensive coordinator Joe Brady is one of the most recognizable names in the coaching field, receiving buzz as a potential future head coach at both college and NFL levels. When Matt Rhule left Baylor for the Carolina Panthers that summer, he brought Brady with him to serve as his offensive coordinator in the hopes of creating a powerful assault in Charlotte.

Over the course of one season, that didn’t materialize, and while there are reasons to think it was partly due to the less-than-stellar midfield staff and room during his two seasons, wunderkind did not. Plan for the level of success Carolina hopes for. On Sunday, the Panthers, who were in the bye week, decided shortly after the 1pm start time slot was a great time to make the announcement that they had fired Brady and would make a change change OC during goodbye time.

“I met Joe this morning and informed him that I had decided to change,” Matt Rhule said in a statement. “I am very grateful to him for the time and effort that has helped us establish over the past year and a half.”

The timing is fascinating, but it’s possible on Brady’s request that, if anything happens, they’ll do so now so he can be on the list for some of the top positions currently available. open at the college level. A return to Baton Rouge is definitely underway, as Brian Kelly has been unable to get Tommy Rees to join him leaving Notre Dame and needs a coordinator, while other major OC work can be done like Oklahoma – is expected to hire Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables as head coach.
