The Carolina Panthers have fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero following the team's loss to the Green Bay Packers. The move has drawn criticism from NFL fans, who have labeled the decision a "wrong firing" and suggested the organization "needed a scapegoat" for the defeat.

Head coach Dave Canales is facing scrutiny over the dismissal, with supporters questioning whether Evero was unfairly held responsible for the team's defensive struggles. The Panthers' defense has faced challenges this season, though specific statistical details were not provided in the initial report.

Quarterback Bryce Young remains the team's starting signal-caller as the franchise navigates the coaching change. The Panthers will now search for a new defensive coordinator as they prepare for upcoming games.
