Current head coaches who had either one year of coordinator experience or less than that:

  • Zac Taylor, Bengals (no coordinator experience)
  • Kevin Stefanksi, Browns (one year as Vikings OC; had a 3-game interim stint season prior)
  • Mike Tomlin, Steelers (one year as Vikings DC prior to landing Steelers HC gig)
  • Dan Campbell, Lions (no coordinator experience; 12 game interim HC stint in 2015, six years prior to landing Detroit HC gig)
  • Mike McDaniel, Dolphins (one year as 49ers OC, was not playcaller)

This hire ultimately may be a colossal failure, but it's not like experience is a prerequisite to success.

I am hoping for the best but what irks me is this was probably a result of promoting Dan Morgan who I feel like probably shouldn’t have received the top job after being a part of the worst 3 year stretch in team history. But I guess we will see what happens. Canales won’t have anywhere close to the amount of offensive talent he had in Tampa. Mike Evans is a HOFer and Chris Godwin is a damn good receiver himself. Their offensive line isn’t horrendous either. It’s going to be interesting to see how it pans out with a talent deficient roster and deeply flawed QB.

This entirely. when a qb who has shown actual NFL talent doesn’t have to sweat blind side hits and is throwing at a HOF receiver… things can look pretty good.

For the sake of argument, how long is the list of guys that flamed out in similar situations? Willing to bet it's well longer than this.

Takeaway: who the hell knows what's going to happen. At least he didn't hire Quinn. 

Yep, I'm sure it is. I just think the experience thing isn't really a knock. We tried the college route, we tried the retread route, now we're trying to young hotshot OC route. There is no sure thing.

Is he really even a hot shot? The Bucs were a below average offense. But I guess at the end of the day when you have the opportunity to hire the OC who orchestrated a 9-0 three FG barn burner to beat you and secure a playoff berth you just can't pass that up.

Wonder if this experience question will come up in the Panther's annual HC introduction presser. Just have to wait and see. 

 

Jokes aside I think its worth giving Morgan and Canales a chance if for no other reason than we have no say in the matter and its a done deal.  For me its the same as BY.  Just gotta hope they figure it out.

It's probably the best we were going to do considering the circumstances. No other interviews for Morgan or Canales. Might turn out good because we need a real commitment. Might not because no one was knocking down their doors for a reason. In any event, time to root for them.

Yes, because one game defines the entire tenure. Thank god we didn't end up with Ben Johnson who could only muster 6 points vs the Ravens and 13 points vs the Bears.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
