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.

...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.

      Good film breakdown of Young. Good and bad. Film examples

      How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
