Jim Harbaugh reportedly talks to Panthers owner David Tepper about HC job

And for a second straight year, the coach is reportedly following up that success by flirting with a return to the NFL. Harbaugh has spoken with Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper about potentially filling the team's vacant head coach position, according to the Associated Press and ESPN. The Panthers are searching for a new head coach after firing Matt Rhule, the former Baylor coach who has since taken the Nebraska job. After the season, Harbaugh interviewed for the Minnesota Vikings head coaching job, but ended up returning to Michigan while Los Angeles Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell took the position. He has already denied having interest in an NFL job in early December, but tellingly added "no man knows the future."

Panthers bring back former All-Pro CB Josh Norman to replaced injured Jaycee Horn

With Jaycee Horn sidelined with an injured wrist, the Carolina Panthers are looking to a familiar face at cornerback. The Panthers announced on Monday that they're signing Josh Norman, who emerged as an All-Pro in Carolina in 2015 as one of the game's most notable cornerbacks. Norman, 35, never replicated his All-Pro form from 2015, but remained a starter for the better part of six seasons since. He has not played in 2022 after starting 14 games for the San Francisco 49ers last season. Interim head coach Steve Wilks was the defensive backs coach and defensive coordinator for the Panthers during Norman's initial tenure with the team.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. — (AP) — Christian McCaffrey had been the lone bright spot on the league’s 32nd ranked offense through six games this season, accounting for 39.8% of the Carolina Panthers’ yards from scrimmage. Walker played a great game, and I feel like we helped him just being able to run the ball and have him all balanced. Panthers guard Austin Corbett said after losing McCaffrey, the offensive line put it on themselves to step up. “That was the emphasis and guys really bought into that.”The running game is what ultimately broke the Bucs. After being traded, McCaffrey told Wilks he wanted to speak with his former teammates to wish them well and thank them.
