The Carolina Panthers are hiring former Georgia running back and assistant coach Thomas Brown as their offensive coordinator. Brown also interviewed with Tampa Bay.
It is currently unclear if Thomas Brown or head coach Frank Reich will call the plays in Carolina.
Brown was previously the tight ends coach and assistant head coach for the Los Angeles Rams. Brown helped the Rams win a Super Bowl last season. He’s gotten excellent experience under Los Angeles head coach Sean McVay. Brown is well respected throughout the NFL.
Here’s what Rams Wire said about Thomas Brown’s interview process:
Brown also interviewed for the Cowboys’ and Chargers’ offensive coordinator roles before they went in a different direction, hiring Brian Schottenheimer and Kellen Moore, respectively. Brown met with the Commanders about their OC job, too.
The former Georgia star running back also interviewed with the Houston Texans for their head coach job, but the Texans ended up hiring former San Francisco defensive coordinator DeMeco Ryans.
During Thomas Brown’s great career at Georgia, he rushed for 2,646 yards and 23 touchdowns on 529 touches. NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the news that the Panthers plan to hire Thomas Brown via Twitter:
