Report: Panthers Plan to Bring in Brian Callahan for a Second Interview

Carolina would like another opportunity to meet with the Bengals offensive coordinator.

After completing interviews with eleven head coaching candidates, the Carolina Panthers are ready to take the next step in its search with a second round of interviews. 

According to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network, the Panthers are planning to bring in Cincinnati Bengals offensive coordinator Brian Callahan for a second interview this week. The Tennessee Titans and Atlanta Falcons are also planning on conducting a second interview with him. 

Cincinnati's 2023 season changed dramatically when Joe Burrow went down with a wrist injury that required season-ending surgery. At the time of his injury, the Bengals were 5-5 with plenty of time to get on a roll. 

Despite Burrow's injury, the Bengals were able to remain in the hunt for a playoff spot deep into the season thanks to the play of fill-in starting quarterback Jake Browning. In seven starts, Browning led Cincinnati to four wins and threw for 1,936 yards and twelve touchdowns to seven interceptions.

Callahan has a pretty impressive resume, being around quarterbacks such as Peyton Manning, Matthew Stafford, Derek Carr, and now, Joe Burrow.
