Deepest HC pool and we could only come up with a guy who has been carried by some of the top 5 WR rooms in the NFL?!

 

His own Dam former team didn’t even want to consider him for their opening

He was the WR coach for Seattle for a while. He helped find/build some of those WR rooms.

It’s certainly odd makes me think Bryce and tepper are not well regarded

That's definitely reason to be optimistic. Tbh the main thing separating Wilson on the Seahawks and Bryce Young was that Wilson could close his eyes and throw up a wobbler, and one of his WRs would actually break off his route and come back for the ball and come down with the catch. If BY did similar it would be ugly.

That was expected I guess if you followed the reports for the past few days. Not really sure what to think about it, I'll have to do some research on this dude.

He could be terrible but I don’t hate this choice.  I figured he was the guy after Morgan was picked.

Let's give him a chance. Seems to look the part at least. I have more faith in this hire than Reich, that's for damn sure.

At least we can say that the HC and GM are on the same page and won't likely sabotage each other like the previous regime. At least there will be more consistency in the FO.

I think this hire is very telling of who is calling the shots. It's no secret that Tepper wanted Ben Johnson, but for him to listen to Morgan wanting Canales maybe means he is leaving it up Morgan. I would have thought that they would at least wait for a second interview with Ben Johnson before deciding. 

Ben said no already I would bet

Panthers saw him orchestrate 9 points in the last game and were so blown away that they had to hire him. 
 

This is a knee jerk, impatient, and poor hire. I bet he is gone within two years. 

His offense also just orchestrated an average of 27.5ppg across two playoff games??

Dungy met Canales at a retreat and has been kind of taking him under his wing throughout his career as well.
