Don't know anything about this guy except his success  with Baker and Geno.

If Tepper didn't shitt the bed with his antics and bad decision making,we may have had a chance at one of the top candidates.

Now we have to roll the dice on a guy with OC experience and a short resume. I have the feeling all the big names just had second thoughts about coming here and said fug no after some consideration.  He was one of the guys happy for the chance. No one else had much interest.

I hope for the best and expect the worst...

Good job

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. 
 

 

I understand the sentiment, but I think it's pretty likely Johnson through his agent/back channels already let it be known he's not coming here. Monken would be intriguing but there's no Lamar Jackson here. I like Mike Macdonald as well but the only team that has requested a second interview with him is the Falcons who are seemingly doing a second interview with every single candidate (and I would bet they hire a HC pretty shortly here).

If you would have told me at the start of the hiring cycle that we were hiring Canales, I'd be very confused. The way that this has worked out, I am cautiously encouraged that it appears Dan Morgan had most of the decision making power. Hopefully, this is a sign Tepp is learning. 

I do not think this is a short term project for either Canales or Morgan. Unless we are a complete dumpster fire, like we were this season, both are going to have to be given a very long leash. Our roster is bad. I think even the most optimistic projections would have us at 6 or 7 wins next year. The saving grace is an awful division, so long as ATL doesn't find a QB. 

It does appear that this guy has an incredible work ethic, which is something you see in a lot of successful head coaches. I was very encouraged to see some panic on the Bucs board about him potentially leaving, up to and including many saying he should be given a "coach in waiting" title. It also seems he has some very good relationships with some NFL legends, so maybe we can get those guys in some advisory roles (Dungy, Carroll etc). Finally it seems the Bucs offensive players are pretty bummed about this one. Good for us.

I wanted a young offensive minded person to be the Panthers next head and  will be very happy if they hire Dave Canales.

I want a coach that will find success with the Panthers for a long time, so  they will be able  to build a system that enable them to become better year after year..

Tepper doesn't like a long leash....a choke collar and a piece of rope is more like it.

No head coaching experience on any level.  If this doesn’t at least give you pause it definitely should 

Rhule had head coaching experience coming in and was still horrible.  I've come to understand all the qualifiers we typically look for are ultimately meaningless.  It's about making the right hires and building a culture that staff and players can thrive under.  If Canales can do that, I don't give a fug about his experience.  It really determines nothing.

Good job

...if its any consolation, Mike Tomlin was a DC for only one year before becoming a head coach... so, it can happen but not likely.

Tepper is an impatient, petulant man child. He probably couldn’t wait for Johnson. 

OR....he could wait around for Johnson (or his agent) to keep jacking around for days/weeks, and by that time every desirable candidate would be gone.

      HBM shortage due to AI craze

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Micron just announced it is leaving the consumer market and Crucial as of February 26 will be no more. While Samsung and SK Hynix are guaranteeing most of its supply to business contracts for AI companies, leaving a tiny supply for its consumer markets. Combined with Micron those three companies make up 96% of the world's Dram supply with almost none of it going to consumers.  It's so bad that Samsung Mobile is having issues getting supply from Samsung DX which is causing internal issues and will lead to a shortage of phones and higher prices in February.  AMD announced a 10% price hike across its product line going forward as of today.   GPU's will go up here shortly, ram has already doubled this year and it will keep going up. Storage has seen a smaller increase but a bigger one is coming for it as the next generation of AI cards are being built that require a ton of HBM on the boards.  Rumors that both AMD and Nvidia will eliminate lower tier GPU's for the next generation if not sooner.  So the end isn't in site and it will totally affect next generation consoles, the PC building and prebuilt markets and everything in-between including cellphones.  Pretty much seeing the end of the main stream gaming industry end before your eyes right now.    Storage pricing doubling to tripling over the next year to two.  Consoles starting at 699.99/799.99 and up for what you would've spent 400 on just a few years ago.   An entry level PC build starting in the 3k range considering the new reality for ram, storage and GPU costs.  The cost to entry will be too high for most consumers after this shift is finished in 2028 and that's if a consumer market even exists by then.

      Okay gentlemen, REAL talk...

      You know who else had a high completion %? Teddy 2 Gloves. He could check down with the best of them.  I'm one of those people that watches and analyzes a lot, my brain does it by default, and it's something that I fully expect our scouts and FO to do religiously. Football is a sport I enjoy, and I actually watch footwork more than most. It drives my wife nuts, especially with our local hockey team. I can tell within a few games usually if a goalie is going to make it or not just by watching their feet. That's why I said stats give you a direction. They help show you where to look. They're a tool. As long as you realize that they're a tool to be used, not relied upon for absolute certainty. I trust my eyes too. And I trust what I'm seeing. 3 years in, and Bryce's footwork and mechanics look almost identical to his rookie season and Alabama. Every time I see that jump pass I want to scream. Or when he squares up to the line of scrimmage to throw a pass instead of stepping into it to drive a throw. He does seem to have some sort of clutch gene, but he also has a WTF gene that rears its ugly head too.
