"Only one year of coordinator experience"

We can also do a list of coaches with HC experience that failed starting with our most recent one…

I mean none of it matters.  Canalas has to turn us around.  What other people did or didn’t do is irrelevant 

It is fact that Canalas has never been a head coach.  He doesn’t even know he can do it yet.

I'm hopeful for Canales but far from sold. I honestly don't know if he did a good job or if a talented but very streaky QB just got hot. Baker had 5 300+ yard games this season. 4 of them came after mid-December. Half of his TDs came after mid-December. Was it because Canales did a great job adjusting or did Baker just get on a hot streak? I honestly have no idea.

What about Geno the prior year?

It’s wild how coaching candidates get credit for these things when no one knows what he did to influence the situation.  Maybe Geno got healthy and worked his ass off?  Maybe Canalas was the sole reason.  We don’t know.

Canalas seems like a smart young coach with an even temperament.  The rest is TBD

Oh I agree but if success follows the candidate that’s a good sign. Russ’s best year was when Canales was his QB coach. Geno’s comeback year had Canales as the QB coach, Baker’s recent career year featured Canales as OC.

Are we supposed to pretend that Ken Dorsey is a great coach because Cam had his best seasons with him as the QB coach?

Line I said, I'm hopeful for Canales but it's based more on sheer hope than it is any empirical evidence as would be the case for any one year coordinator. There's just not a lot of data to go off of when he was in a role to have some real control.

Cam’s success under Dorsey vs Geno’s jump in his first year with Canales isn’t really close to the same thing at all. Geno was written off as a bust and received “comeback player of the year.” The same award Baker is a finalist for this year. 
You can dismiss success for any candidate, but it is a good sign that it at least appears to follow this candidate. Hopefully it will translate at the next level. Nothing is a guarantee but I’m at least intrigued. Pretty solid candidate considering where we are as a franchise.

I get the point you are attempting to make. This an egregious comparison though.

Geno Smith is...Geno Smith. Baker Mayfield? We already know.

These guys can't hold prime Cam Newton's jockstrap.

Winning playoff games with them is at minimum impressive. It does not mean he will be successful though and I agree with that. What will make him successful is if Dan Morgan is the talent evaluator we are hoping him to be.

    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
    • I hate Marchand, but if he became a free agent.....
