Eh. I guess you could say scapegoated. I think there were a lot of problems in the organization. I think frank overall was a good coach, probably a better OC or QB coach, but fine as a HC. Ultimately I think the team was sort of spiraling downward and he was not going to be able to bring it back with his voice/methods. I think irsay saw this and wanted a change, thus he was let go with the intent of losing, getting a high pick and starting over with a new staff.

Dont compare his hiring with sean payton. Payton would require compensation to the saints which could be a huge factor in carolina's decision.
