On Friday, the Carolina Panthers took another step in their reconstruction—reportedly parting ways with both special teams coordinator Chris Tabor and offensive line coach James Campen.
As opposed to last offseason, when the two were retained in the transition from Matt Rhule to Frank Reich, the organization has taken a tough step forward in their fresh direction with new head coach Dave Canales.
Here’s how their fans are feeling about the departures:
Man shoutout to Tabor. One of the best in the game. https://t.co/PQmbbZie7l

Feel for Tabor. Dude did everything #Panthers asked of him and then some. And then some more.
I genuinely appreciate him, man.

Thank you, Coach Tabor. The special teams were one of the bright spots while he was here. https://t.co/xR4PJz2h6N

Much respect to Chris Tabor! One of the best in the league teams will be scrapping for him.✊🏾

Campen gone too. Lost two good ones today but they'll have plenty of suitors.

Campen is a good coach. He’s just a victim of Scott Fitterer’s poor drafting. https://t.co/6SY6EwroMf

I know James Campen is highly regarded and accomplished, but as bad as they were last year I wonder if they need a new voice in that room.

I imagine Aaron Rodgers will use his GM powers to try to get James Campen to the Jets

Ok now the fact we’ve let go of Tabor & Campen is very encouraging to me.
This does not scream Tepper.
This feels like Dan Morgan/Sportsology/Dave Canales.

Glad the Panthers are moving on from Tabor and Campen. Nothing against them personally, but new blood is needed.

With Campen and Tabor gone, the current #Panthers coaching staff is officially Matt Rhule free pic.twitter.com/4ZZ0Zn7gLS
