What BBN said about it

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThe Carolina Panthers fired defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero after losing twenty-seven to nineteen at Green Bay.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhy him? He doesn't even carry the ball.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat is the point, Vera. Carolina gave up seventy points in four days to the Buccaneers and the Packers.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorJordan Love threw for two hundred eighty-eight yards and three touchdowns, and somebody had to go.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd Bryce Young took six sacks. That's the offense, so you'd think the offense gets a meeting too.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorThat's exactly right. The sacks are the offensive line. The coordinator is the guy who gets to keep the whole crisis.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh. I did a football.

Rex "Two-Point" Gridley · Sports AnchorYou did a football! Todd Wash is the interim, and the defense is his now. Good luck.

Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorI'm sure the statement says Evero has decided to pursue other opportunities. The opportunity is the parking lot.
