The Carolina Panthers are gearing up for their first playoff appearance since 2017. Focus is firmly on causing a significant upset against the Los Angeles Rams at Bank of America Stadium. Still, there remains a lingering cloud hanging over the franchise once their engagements in the knockout rounds conclude.
That, of course, is the future of defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero.
The Panthers have reached a crossroads with Evero. He's restored his reputation somewhat this season, and his name is once again coming up in speculation as the 2026 head coaching cycle gets underway.
