from George Richards of the Miami Herald,

Before Monday’s game against the Montreal Canadiens, a plane circled BB&T Center in Sunrise towing the message: ‘Rowe must go! Call him a cab!’

The first part of the message is obvious; the second is in reference to former coach Gerard Gallant getting a cab outside Raleigh’s PNC Arena after he was fired and replaced by Rowe following a 3-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes on Nov. 27.

It has become clear Rowe’s days as interim head coach of the Panthers are numbered.

Although Rowe previously said he would be interested in keeping the Florida coaching job full time although after this team’s downward spiral, it will not happen.

The Panthers have officially said they will discuss the situation once this season comes to a close on Sunday night.

On Monday, numerous sources told the Miami Herald Rowe would not return behind the bench.
