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.
