The Carolina Panthers plan to keep head coach Matt Rhule for the 2022 season, ESPN reported Saturday.
Sources also told the network that Rhule will begin searching for a new offensive coordinator next week.
Rhule, 46, is 10-22 in two seasons at the helm heading into Sunday’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Carolina (5-11) started 3-0 this season but takes a six-game losing streak into the finale at Tampa Bay (12-4).
Rhule fired offensive coordinator and play-caller Joe Brady on Dec. 5. Senior offensive assistant Jeff Nixon took over his duties.
Rhule signed a seven-year, $62 million contract in January 2020.
