The Carolina Panthers have dismissed defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero, according to a fan mailbag feature published by SB Nation on November 3, 2026. The move comes as the franchise addresses multiple roster concerns heading into the 2026 season, with offensive line performance identified as another key area of focus.
Evero, who was photographed attending Panthers organized team activities in Charlotte on June 4, 2024, had served as the team's defensive coordinator. His departure signals a shift in defensive strategy for the organization as they evaluate coaching staff changes.
The fan mailbag, authored by Brian Beversluis, fielded questions from Panthers supporters regarding the reasoning behind Evero's firing and the team's plans to address offensive line deficiencies that have hampered the offense. The discussion reflects growing fan scrutiny over the direction of the franchise in Charlotte.
