Panthers to hire Ben McAdoo as OC over Scottie Montgomery
The Carolina Panthers hired Ben McAdoo as their new offensive coordinator over Indianapolis Colts running backs coach Scottie Montgomery on Friday.
Montgomery was one of the finalists for the vacated role after the Panthers fired Joe Brady during the regular season. Montgomery interviewed twice for the role but the Panthers decided to go with McAdoo.
The #Panthers are expected to hire former #Giants HC and ex-#Packers OC Ben McAdoo as their offensive coordinator, sources say. They need to work out the contract, but there aren’t expected to be issues. McAdoo is back as an OC, where he initially rose to prominence.

Montgomery will now go back to his role as the running backs coach where he helped running back Jonathan Taylor have a historic season in 2021.
The Colts still have to keep an eye on the market for defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus, who is a finalist for the head coach vacancies with the Jacksonville Jaguars and Chicago Bears.
