The Carolina Panthers, established 1993, are a professional American football team based in Charlotte, North Carolina, U.S. They are currently members of the South Division of the National Football Conference (NFC) in the National Football League (NFL). The Panthers, along with Jacksonville Jaguars, joined the NFL as expansion teams in 1995.1995-1998 is their capers era. The Panthers signed Dom Capers, former defensive coordinator for the Pittsburgh Steelers, as their inaugural head coach. The Panthers became only the second expansion team (besides the Minnesota Vikings in 1961) to win their first game, winning the annual exhibition Hall of Fame Game against the fellow expansion Jacksonville Jaguars 20-14 on July 29, 1995 (a game known as the “Battle of the Big Cats,” due to the similar nicknames of the franchises). 2002-present is their fox era. After being turned down by Steve Spurrier and Tony Dungy for the head coach job, the Panthers hired New York Giants defensive coordinator John Fox as the team’s third head coach. Fox was known for defensive discipline and it would be needed to improve a team that had finished in the bottom of the defensive rankings the previous year. In their 15 years of existence, the Panthers have compiled a record of 115-121, and appeared in Super Bowl XXXVIII in Houston, Texas.
