The Carolina Panthers are going to be searching for a new coach.

Ron Rivera is no longer the head coach of the Carolina Panthers. In what is a rare regime change for the organization, the Panthers will have to enter the 2019 offseason by conducting a coaching search. With  many names being swirled around, it’s hard to break down a definitive list. There are some coaches with tremendous experience, while for others, the Panthers would be their first coaching job in the National Football League.

By firing Ron Rivera, owner David Tepper has made his official stamp on this team. It will be interesting to see what Carolina does for this head-coaching search and how it all plays out. This is shaping up to be one of the more eventful offseasons in recent memory. With that in mind, I take a look at three possible head-coaching candidates for the Panthers in 2020. This list will probably change in the future, but these are some names for now.
