But the Panthers owner David Tepper has come out on more than one occasion and expressed strongly that he will not tolerate losing/medocrity. And he may feel that this is a big step in trying to make this team better.

I do think that overall Ron has done some really nice things for this team, he did make the playoffs almost half the time he was coach, he coached them to a Super Bowl and Cam was an MVP underneath his tenure. I also thought he did a pretty nice job earlier this season when Kyle Allen first stepped in and the Panthers were rolling and on a streak. But unfortunately they haven't fared so well lately, with four losses in a row, two being to bad teams. And it looks like the owner really wasn't liking what was going on and decided to make this decision.

I couid definitely see Ron getting another HC job somewhere else. But I wonder where the Panthers goes from here. Earlier on this season when they were rolling and Kyle Allen was playing well, there was speculation that they may move on from Cam. I remember a lot of people including sports analysts predicting that Cam would be on another team next year. But lately Kyle/the team haven't played as well and now I'm seeing discussion that maybe they do try again with Cam next year.  Maybe they are hoping Cam will come back healthy and they will try with him once again.
