Bayless Suggests Carolina Panthers Should Boycott 2024 Season Over White Coach’s Hiring

Shouldn’t television sports program panelists bring at least some modicum of wit and wisdom to the set? That’s asking way too much from Undisputed co-host Skip Bayless. On Friday, Bayless urged the Carolina Panthers to threaten a season-long boycott in 2024 because their black interim coach did not get hired fulltime. 

Interim head coach Steve Wilks, who’s black, went 6-6 with the Panthers before white guy Frank Reich got the head coaching job last week. Wilks had previously served for one season as head coach in Arizona, where he went 3-13. His 9-19 career head coaching record doesn’t exactly command “hire that guy!” status.
