Sadly this might be 100% fact.

 

It's not like the HC was set up for success. Maybe the more well known candidates simply didn't want the job. This was a quick hire nonetheless.

 

 

You could argue the same for the Titans then.

I get it. This just feels impatient to me.

 

Tepper obviously thinks this is the guy to fix Bryce

Sure feels like it given the timing

If we lose Evero this is really going to be a questionable hire. At least we have something with the defense. Not sure it's the same defense without Evero.

 

Hopefully we can keep Evero as DC.

I'd at least like to have given a second interview to Johnson. But hell, even if not Johnson, one of the Ravens guys.

Not that huge a fan of Vrabel, worried he'd be more style over substance.

All in all, give him that nobody else was pursuing Canales, I don't get the rush to hire him.

So what I'm reading is, if we had conducted a second interview with, say, Macdonald on Monday and hired Canales on Tuesday, you'd be fine with it? I suppose I understand doing due diligence, but I don't really feel all that up in arms about moving on it now rather than 4 days later. Maybe Dave and Dan decided Canales was their guy and didn't want to have a repeat of what happened last season with Johnson pulling out of the process the night before his interview. 

I think given what by all accounts was reportedly Tepper's hard on for Johnson, there's a reason they didn't wait until he was available for a second interview.

Panthers were the only team to interview him  

are you willing to believe tepper is smarter than the rest of the league?

Ben Johnson - no HC experience

Brian Callahan - no HC experience

Jerrod Mayo - no HC experience

Antonio Pierce - interim HC, only other HC experience on HS level

Our most experienced staff was the worst we've ever assembled

20th in points 

23rd in yards

The man is desperate to show he’s smarter than everyone else.

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.

Nah. He rushed. Everyone else would have been there.

This is 100% Dan Morgan. He's been tight with Canales for longer than he's known Tepper.

Y'all wanted Tepper to get out the way well Dan is your "football guy" now.

[BullCityP]

He's under contract the only way we lose him is if we fire him or he gets a head coaching job which I doubt (for reasons that don't include his coaching abilities)

what happened to the consulting service? lol
