The Carolina Panthers have had a rough start to the season, with a 1-8 record that has left them at the bottom of the NFC South. In an effort to turn their fortunes around, the team has decided to make some changes to their staff and starting lineup.

The Panthers have fired head coach Ron Rivera, who had been with the team since 2011. He was replaced by former Baylor head coach Matt Rhule, who was hired in January. Rhule is known for his innovative offensive schemes and commitment to player development.

In addition to the coaching change, the Panthers have also made some changes to their starting lineup. Quarterback Cam Newton, who has been with the team since 2011, has been replaced by rookie Will Grier. Grier has shown promise in his first few starts, throwing for over 200 yards in each of his first two games.

The Panthers have also made some changes to their defense. Linebacker Luke Kuechly, who has been with the team since 2012, has been replaced by rookie Brian Burns. Burns has been impressive in his first few games, recording two sacks and an interception in his first two starts.

The Panthers hope that these changes will help them turn their fortunes around and get back on track for a successful season. With a new head coach and some fresh faces in the starting lineup, the Panthers are hoping to make a strong push for the playoffs. Only time will tell if these changes will be enough to get them back on track.
