The Carolina Panthers invested a lot of resources into Bryce Young to be the franchise quarterback. The organization’s path to success becomes infinitely easier if he meets those lofty expectations and solidifies the quarterback position. That only adds to the motivation for David Tepper to bring in an offensive minded coach that can elevate Young and the rest of the offense.
Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator Frank Smith has a resume that suggests he would be a good candidate to do that. He, like Ben Johnson, has worked under a variety of coaches and can’t be associated with any one particular coaching tree.
