Canales said they'll continue to look at adjustments to the staff, but ultimately, they were looking to stabilize the run defense and take advantage of the talent on hand with 10 games remaining in the regular season.
Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales stated that a sense of urgency prompted the decision to replace defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero and passing game coordinator Jonathon Cooley. With the team standing at 3-4 and 10 regular-season games remaining, Canales explained that he made the move after evaluating the roster's talent and consulting with team leadership, including owner David Tepper and general manager Dan Morgan.
Todd Wash has been named the interim defensive coordinator heading into the team's upcoming home game against the Denver Broncos. Canales highlighted Wash's extensive NFL coaching experience and strong relationships with players, noting that the staff will focus on improving the run defense during their mini-bye preparation.
