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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
