dang - I'm betting that there are some who are not at all surprised to hear how he passed away - he was a complex guy with a lot of sides to him. His original name on the huddle - 9Lives suited him well.

I'm sorry for his family and for his girlfriend. I've met his daughters and have been to many tailgates where he was there. Very sad.

I'm still sitting here in shock. Not wanting to believe anything that I am reading. Clifton and I have been friends for several years now. He even was willing to help me find a place to stay out in NC long enough to get on my feet out there ~ that was before I met my wife.

Called us all the time. Restricted meant it was Cliffy ~ as we called him. He flew down here and met up with us for the Dallas game this last September. Had a blast. He is a great guy. The guy would do/give anything to help another, or to even share a smile and a laugh. Last time he spoke to me, he made me promise I'd go to next years Superbowl with him. Told him I would. :(

He called me when his father died. . . and at other times. Still don't understand why he didn't call Friday.....guess I'll never know.

Clifton was a great friend, and more ~ Was part of the family. Miss him greatly.

Love ya Cliffy

He was definitely a unique guy. But, I was happy and honored to call him a friend.

Given the painful and agonizing death that comes with pancreatic cancer, it definitely does not surprise me to see him go out like this.

Yep....I'm sure his reply to hearing about the cancer was to the effect of "well fug that, I'm not going out like that."

      Canales is in most critical point of his tenure

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.

      Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
