CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — The Carolina Panthers have agreed to hire Darrell Bevell as their new associate head coach and offensive specialist, according to a person with knowledge of the situation.

Panthers head coach Dave Canales will continue to call plays, according to the person who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the details of the contract have not been finalized.

Bevell and Canales worked together for seven seasons in Seattle under Pete Carroll, with Bevell serving as the offensive coordinator. Bevell will work alongside Canales and offensive coordinator Brad Idzik in Carolina as the team looks to continue to help 2023 No. 1 overall draft pick Bryce Young progress as a quarterback.

Bevell spent the past four seasons as the quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator with the Miami Dolphins.

The Panthers won the NFC South this season before losing at home to the Los Angeles Rams in the first round of the playoffs.

After the season Canales said he planned to continue calling plays for the Panthers, a role he has held for the last two seasons. Young made significant strides in 2025, but the Panthers continued to rank in the bottom half of the league in most offensive categories.
