Panthers team owner David Tepper has deep ties to the city of Pittsburgh, and that just happens to be where McCarthy is from.
In terms of coaching candidates, the Panthers could do a lot worse than McCarthy.
Over the course of more than 200 games with the Green Bay Packers McCarthy put together a record of 125-77-2 and won a Super Bowl.
McCarthy’s time in Green Bay ended unceremoniously due to philosophical differences with quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but all in all he was a very solid head coach from start to finish.
