I think this is our guy. Dan Morgan as GM now makes this even more likely.

I'm ok with it. I like the guy, but that probably means he's going to suck.

Still there's a lot to be said for his effect on QBs and offenses. Also a lot to be said regarding Seattle's and Geno's decline after he left.

Plus the guy is a motivator/culture changer. Listen to him and he's got that mindset and charisma.

I wonder how they play it? He's probably top of the list behind Johnson but with Johnson being the hot name and top choice for other teams do they interview Canales and keep him waiting until they see what Johnson does, or bite the bullet and hire him this week knowing Johnson likely goes elsewhere?

There's a risk if you make it obvious to Canales that he's the consolation prize that he just stays in Tampa for that extra year of experience.

He has a better resume than Ben Johnson and already has a relationship built with our new GM. If you want a young, offensive minded coach he should be the top candidate.

2 years as Qb coach Russel Wilson had 2 of his 3 best quarterback ratings.

2 years as passing game coordinator DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett both had fantastic seasons.

Goes back to QB coach and resurrects Geno Smith’s career.

Moves to Tampa as OC and does the same for Baker Mayfield.

None of the other offensive candidates have a 5 year stretch as impressive as that. If you want Bryce Young to have the best chance at being successful Canales is the man for the job.

    • Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
