Within two weeks of preventing an interview with the New York Giants, the Carolina Panthers fired their coach.

Dave Canales was appointed head coach of the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. The former offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is anticipated to spend the upcoming weeks expanding the staff, as most coaches do. This implies that the jobs of Carolina’s present coaches may be at jeopardy.

Chris Tabor, the interim head coach at the time, attempted to interview with the next York Giants on January 12, a little more than two weeks ago, with the intention of moving up to become their next special teams coordinator—a role he previously held in Carolina.

At long last, Chris Tabor will not be playing for the Carolina Panthers in 2024.

On January 12, a little over two weeks ago, Chris Tabor, the interim head coach at the time, made an attempt to meet with the incoming York Giants with the goal of advancing to become their next special teams coordinator—a position he had previously held in Carolina.

It makes sense that the Giants wanted to talk to Tabor. Even though he was unable to salvage the Panthers’ season following Frank Reich’s dismissal, Tabor excels at special teams, as evidenced by the fact that players who took part in the NFLPA survey recently voted him as the league’s second-best ST coordinator. The Panthers’ reluctance to fire Tabor right away makes sense as well, since there was always a chance the incoming head coach would want to keep him on staff as well.

Meanwhile, the Giants hired Michael Ghobrial to be their new special teams coordinator just two days ago, the same moment Canales was hired in Carolina. Now Tabor will have to find a different team with interest, but judging on his resume and how other players view him, that shouldn’t be too difficult.
