The Carolina Panthers have fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady with five games left in their season, the team announced Sunday.
Panthers coach Matt Rhule said in a statement that he met with Brady on Sunday morning and "informed him that I have decided to make a change."
"I'm very grateful to him for his time and effort in helping us get established over this past year and a half," Rhule said.
Senior offensive assistant Jeff Nixon will take over the offensive coordinator duties with the rest of the offensive coaching staff for the remainder of the season.
