00:02 >> Breaking news, live right here on the early line on this Monday.
00:08 The Carolina Panthers have made a coaching change following only 12 weeks of
00:13 this NFL season.
00:14 The Panthers have fired Frank Reich.
00:17 He now becomes not even fully one and done.
00:21 Donnie, Frank Reich fired by the Carolina Panthers.
00:23 That's our breaking news that just hit here in the last few minutes.
00:27 >> Yeah, it's really interesting here because now you usually take a look at it.
00:30 Different organizations do different things here.
00:32 You take a look at the Cincinnati Bengals.
00:34 They will hold on to their coach because why?
00:36 They wanna pay coaches out.
00:37 David Tepper is one of the richest owners in the NFL.
00:40 And you saw yesterday, he stormed out of the locker room with a lot of expletives
00:44 this year, which you already knew he was unhappy with the direction of the franchise.
00:48 Number one, because you have the number one overall pick who looks terrible out
00:51 there on the football field.
00:53 And you also have a head coach that was supposed to be the perfect guy to come in
00:56 and sort of have that maturation process of the quarterback lean under him.
00:59 Hey, I've done it before, I'm a calming influence.
01:01 It hasn't worked out.
01:02 So the fact of the matter, David Tepper's probably gonna stroke a check this morning
01:05 in excess of $50 million to make that coaching staff go away.
01:09 That's unbelievable at this point.
01:11 But you are hired to be fired in professional sports.
01:14 I don't care if the expectations for your football team were five or six wins.
01:18 You need a direction here.
01:20 If Frank Reich had this offense humming, Ben, 40 points a game and
01:24 they were one in ten, the owner would say like, well, we're just gonna fix this defense.
01:27 We're gonna stroke a check here and get that taken care of.
01:29 But our quarterback, our franchise guy is here.
01:31 You have no first round draft pick.
01:33 You should have the number one overall first round draft pick this year to get your future
01:37 quarterback that you got last year.
01:40 The fans probably love this down there.
01:42 But my goodness, working for a guy like David Tepper, who you could be a one and done less
01:45 than one and done.
01:46 That's a tough scene here.
01:47 We'll see where they go next for their quarterback or should be for their coach.
01:51 But my goodness, that's a wild scene in Carolina.
01:53 Frank Reich already out under a year into his contract.
