The Carolina Panthers have fired offensive coordinator Joe Brady with five
games left in their season, the team announced Sunday.
卡罗来那黑豹队在例行赛还剩5场的情况下，于昨天招开记者会，宣布开除进攻总监/
协调员(OC)Joe Brady。
Panthers coach Matt Rhule said in a statement that he met with Brady on
Sunday morning and "informed him that I have decided to make a change."
黑豹队总教练Matt Rhule在记者会中，表示他已经在周日赛前与Brady会面，并告知
他“我已经做出一个会造成改变的决定(指开除)”。
"I'm very grateful to him for his time and effort in helping us get
established over this past year and a half," Rhule said.
Rhule补充“我很感谢他在过去这一年半以来，愿意奉献时间与精力，帮助我们球团
的实力提升上”。
Senior offensive assistant Jeff Nixon will take over the offensive
coordinator duties with the rest of the offensive coaching staff for the
remainder of the season.
资深进攻助教Jeff Nixon即日起将顶替空缺成为OC，进攻教练团的其他人也将留守
直到球季结束。
The Panthers, who are on their bye this week, are ranked 28th in the NFL with
308.7 yards per game and 23rd in scoring at 19.7 points each game.
本周轮休的黑豹，今年在码数累积与场均得分两项指标上都位在联盟后段班，前者
#28、后者#23。
In October, Rhule said he was sticking with Brady but wanted him to commit
more to the running game. Brady, however, never committed to the running game
to the level Rhule preferred (at least 30 attempts per game).
十月时，Rhule曾表态力挺Brady，但也希望/要求他的部下更加致力于跑阵战术上。
然而直到Brady被开除前，都没有达到上司期望的标准(至少单场30次)。
The Panthers started the season 3-0 but are currently 5-7. Star running back
Christian McCaffrey is out for the season with an ankle injury while the team
has started three different quarterbacks. Sam Darnold struggled after a
strong start in the first three games and is on injured reserve with a
shoulder injury. Cam Newton is now starting at quarterback in his second
stint with the franchise.
尽管曾开出开季三连胜的高潮，黑豹目前胜率却反而不到五成(5-7)。陷入低潮的
主要原因包括1.明星级RB Christian McCaffre脚踝伤势过于严重而整季报销、
2.球队至今已动用3名QB–季前透过交易盘来的Sam Darnold尽管在开季三连胜中
也有突破性的强开局，但因肩膀的伤势而仍在伤兵名单中。目前接下先发QB职责
的球员，是曾经率队打进超级杯的回锅老将Cam Newton。
Brady joined the Panthers in January 2020 after helping LSU win a national
championship as the Tigers' passing game coordinator.
Brady在2000年1月加入黑豹前，曾经以传球战术协调员的角色，协助LSU拿到大学
联赛的全国冠军。
