Matt Rhule decided to move on from Joe Brady during the Panthers’ bye week last year and since the end of the season he’s been on the hunt for a new offensive coordinator. Friday, NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that the team planned to hire former Giants head coach Ben McAdoo.
The #Panthers are expected to hire former #Giants HC and ex-#Packers OC Ben McAdoo as their offensive coordinator, sources say. They need to work out the contract, but there aren’t expected to be issues. McAdoo is back as an OC, where he initially rose to prominence.

I don’t have an true issue with Ben McAdoo as the #Panthers OC.

You look at the years he’s been an OC
2014: Giants offense went from 28th in the league in scoring to 13th
2015: Giants offense finished with the 6th scoring offense in the NFL.
It’s not THAT bad of a hire.

So he wasn’t good enough to be a QB coach, but he’s good enough to be the Offensive Coordinator?@josephperson, do I have that right? https://t.co/wLKEI36kEA pic.twitter.com/e5OsUVwm9f
