The Carolina Panthers will interview Jim Caldwell and Frank Reich for their head coaching vacancy, reports Jay Glazer of Fox Sports.

Caldwell has two previous stints as a head coach, leading the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-11 and the Detroit Lions from 2014-17. He boasts a career record of 62-50 with four playoff berths and five winning campaigns.

The 67-year-old hasn't coached in the NFL since spending one season as an assistant with the Miami Dolphins in 2019.

Reich, 61, served as head coach of the Colts for four-plus seasons, earning a record of 40-33-1 and two postseason appearances before being fired in November amid a 3-5-1 start to the campaign.

The Panthers fired Matt Rhule in October after stumbling to a 1-4 start in his third season in charge.

Steve Wilks took over as interim head coach, steering Carolina back into playoff contention; the Panthers recorded five wins in their next 10 games before being eliminated in Week 17 with a loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Wilks is also expected to be a contender for the full-time role.
