Report: Panthers Plan to Hire Brad Idzik as Offensive Coordinator

Dave Canales is bringing his best friend with him to help run the offense in Carolina.

The Carolina Panthers are planning to hire Brad Idzik as the team's new offensive coordinator, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Idzik was the wide receivers coach for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past season, following Dave Canales over from Seattle where the two began coaching together in 2019. 

The assumption is that Canales will call the plays in Carolina, but that will be confirmed on Thursday when the Panthers officially introduce Canales and Dan Morgan as the new head coach and general manager

Idzik's Coaching Timeline:

2014-18: Graduate Assistant, Stanford

2019-20: Assistant Wide Receivers Coach, Seattle Seahawks

2021: Offensive Quality Control/Assistant Quarterbacks Coach, Seattle Seahawks

2022: Assistant Wide Receivers Coach, Seattle Seahawks
