Frank Reich was named the new head coach of the Carolina Panthers on Thursday.
Reich becomes the sixth head coach in Panthers' franchise history. He also served as the first starting quarterback for the franchise in 1995, and he tossed the first touchdown pass in team history.
Reich, 61, received a second interview with owner David Tepper and the team's search committee this week.
He joins the Panthers after being fired by the Indianapolis Colts nine games into the 2022 season. He posted a 40-33-1 record in four-plus seasons in Indianapolis and guided the club to two postseason appearances.
