On Monday, Nov. 7, 2022, less than 24 hours after the team’s humiliating 42-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, in which they gave up a franchise-high 35 points in the first half, interim coach Steve Wilks of the Carolina Panthers sacked two of his assistant coaches.
Wilks dismissed defensive line coach Paul Pasqualoni and coach Evan Cooper of the cornerbacks. (AP) Less than 24 hours after the Carolina Panthers’ humiliating 42-21 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals, in which the team gave up a franchise-high 35 points in the first half, interim coach Steve Wilks of the Carolina Panthers sacked two of his assistant coaches on Monday.
Along with the defensive backs, defensive assistant Bobby Maffei will be given greater responsibility, and Al Holcomb, the interim defensive coordinator, will also be more involved in that area. Without Pasqualoni, defensive line coach Terrance Knighton and pass rush specialist Don Johnson will continue to lead the defense.
