It was probably a concession made that Canales has no influence over.
If I were in his place I’d have agreed to whatever, to get my foot in the door. And as a fist time HC saddled with fixing or getting production out of Bryce Young, that is a double full time job to start with.
He gets the team in the playoffs (I don’t see that happening) and he will get his leash extended. Little more power, a bigger voice. I didn’t expect poo this season so didn’t care about these little dramas, personally.
