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.

      Watching games this year again and Bryce missed a wide open XL many times and some of them were in the endzone. I get the kid has mental lapses and hasn't broke out yet, but this is year three on a rookie deal! Cutting bait now is too early. If he hasn't gained anymore trust from his QB, posted any highlights, little production, or outright gets beat out then we can talk movement.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Samesies   I truly may just cash completely out of Panther football if we give him a long term deal that isnt necessary.  I have watched NFL for 50 years now and I can without a shadow of a doubt say you cannot win consistently with BY.  Way too many limitations to deal with.   I may come back around in 3 years when the inevitable happens and all parties are either cut and/or fired.  Giving him a deal before this season so you hopefully can get him cheaper in case he "blows up" or if you truly believe that he will has to be the most moronic decision a gm can make when the evidence is laid before you with different players

      This is the one! I was at that game and all KB had to do was lay down on the corner after the pick or make an obvious tag while he was down. He had already ran a lazy route. Then if Cam would've just walked to the sideline like most elite QBs instead of trying to make the tackle.  A lot of people bring up the TJ Watt hit, but he just reaggravated a bunch of scar tissue from that play. And every Cam hater said that the running did him in and it was a dive tackle attempt on an interception that initially began the shoulder deterioration. He still went to New England later and would've got them in the playoffs had their A team not sat out the covid year. We quit on him too early. But hey how good was Teddy? Am I right?
