Carolina Panthers

Carolina Panthers head coach Frank Reich is well-respected around the league and many believe that he's the perfect coach to usher a turnaround in Carolina. 

In our NFL head coach rankings on FanNation/Sports Illustrated, Reich checks in at No. 18.

"Reich was dealt an all-time bad-blow in Indianapolis when quarterback Andrew Luck shockingly retired prior to the 2019 season. Still, the Colts went 40-33-1 in parts of five seasons with Reich as their head coach, so it's not surprising he got another job so quickly. Being able to build a strong staff is crucial for a head coach, and Reich has done that with offensive coordinator Thomas Brown, defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, quarterbacks coach Josh McCown and running backs coach Duce Staley, all potential future head coaches."
