Panthers closing in on hiring DAVE CANALES

[frankw]

If Mr. Scot has concerns after all his carrying water for Scott Fitterer then I'm sold.

I thought this was the direction they would go. He seems to have had success at every position he's been in. I like the track record. He just needs to win games. Players buy in if you win.

This! Also would bet there were no second interviews with other candidates because their agents said not interested. We are going to have to get lucky for this to work.

Should probably also have added this is the guy with the least amount of leverage.

That at least potentially allows Tepper to continue influencing things like staff choices. Likewise means he's less likely to demand a long-term, fully guaranteed contract.

This is one of the stupidest decisions in team history. They are literally the only team pursuing Canales, you can at least wait until next week to talk to Macdonald, Monken, and Johnson and he will still be there with NOBODY interested in him.
 

God fuging forbid anyone with a spine gets the job.

Well I finally get my wish of a young-ish OC with a track record in the NFL. I'll take it tbh!

It could turn out to be good, but I definitely have concerns...

- one year coordinator

- nobody else was pursuing him for a second interview that I saw

- would have only had to wait 3 days to interview one of the championship guys

- makes it seem like an impatient / panic / bidding against ourselves move

As always, I hope it works. In this case, I'm not so much down on the candidate as I am how the hiring process played out.

Where else did he interview?

Monken is only a few years younger than Reich and won't have an MVP candidate at QB. Why does his name keep coming up?

Hope it works out and at least he is the most handsome head coach of the Panthers history, right!

TBF Ron's ample chest was appealing to many including our radio announcers.

I know he had first interviews with a couple of teams. From what I saw, no second interview requests other than us.

I'd have to look up who the others were.

Canales managed to make Baker relevant again 

there are similarities with Yoing and Baker

Smaller size.  Not great arm strength etc

better rolling to see the field 

might as well hope as not

i do not believe young is the answer in the nfl but maybe improved this year with a simpler offense 

designed for him vs against 

as Einstein said paraphrased ‘if you expect a fish to climb a tree, you will always be disappointed’ 

What? Baker Mayfield has one of the best arms in the league.

[t96]

would be nice to see Carroll join him here in some role. after last year's shitshow we need our coaching staff to all be on the same page so I expect much of the staff to have worked with Canales in the past. Will be interesting to see if we keep Evero, hopefully Tepper isn't forcing it on him but if he wants to keep him then I'm all for it.

I’m just throwing his name up to say let the guy at least get a second interview. If we are forced to hire a nobody because there isn’t anyone decent out there that wants the job, then at least interview all the nobodies.

Lets get this thread updated to "Panthers Hire Dave Canales" 

 

please and thank you @Coheed

Agreed.  I will be tempered in my comments so I can reserve the right be outraged in hindsight.

As one of the resident Canales stans I’m happy but have to temper expectations. This team has a long way to go still.
