Seahawks passing game coordinator Sanjay Lal withdrew his name from consideration as Bears OC.   He coached with Canales.   Maybe there is something there?

 

Small nit, think he was being interviewed for a WR coach/PGC role given Waldron is the OC. I could see him coming here tho if Canales makes him OC - better “title” than he’d get with the Bears.

Torn on this one.


On one hand, he's a good ST coach. On the other, he was absolutely involved in the tattling mentality the staff had.   

I also wonder about Campen.    I don't think he can be retained considering how poorly his unit performed even though he has a good reputation.   His line couldn't pick up blitzes or stunts.  That's coaching.  Even if it's with backups, and 3rd string guys.  They should at least know their assignments.

Honestly, no. The "hunger games" culture of the last staff, rife with dissension and back channel conversations, should have been addressed with a full and complete teardown of the organization. They should not have promoted Dan Morgan and they should not retain any of the staff from last year. Despite Evero's success I can see animosity building because he feels he deserves the top job. He's getting a lot of attention elsewhere in the league for head coaching positions and he will get an opportunity eventually. 

Chris Tabor is obviously in Tepper's ear since he made it through the Rhule staff and onto the Reich staff. If Tabor survives three different coaching regimes, something is wrong. Same with James Campen. I get these are "good" coaches, but given the culture issues the team has had, you have to accept some growing pains for the sake of team chemistry and harmony. It would have made a lot more sense to keep them had they retained Wilks for the top job. 

Dave Canales has worked on a couple NFL team staffs and should have some connections to build his own staff. And he should have the autonomy to do that. But I doubt he does. And if they keep Evero or bring in another defensive coordinator, that coordinator should be allowed to build his own staff. But obviously Tepper is going to review every decision, and who knows what ends up happening. 

I just don't like the idea of keeping anyone who made it through the last 1-2 seasons considering how bad things had gotten in the building and I think they're making the same mistakes again. It's insanity.

good special teams coach. but from the way it's sounding a toxic presence in the organization. at the heart of most of the hunger games drama. 

give him the boot (if tepper will let you) and find someone else who isn't stirring and spreading poo all over.

    • This is a toughie because I wonder what a guy like Canales thinks about redemption stories for addiction issues. Also, I think this is a case of 1 player getting caught, and not being naive enough to think this isn't more common in college than we think. I'd toss a 3rd rounder out there. 2026 is essentially a redshirt season regardless, so he's not taking over for any NFL QB next year. Best case, he's ready to go in 2027 if we pass on Bryce's extension. Worst case, he's our future backup QB2. Kid has the tools to be an NFL QB. I do think we could somehow land a '26 3rd round pick back in a trade. Our past years' third rounders are: Brazzell Princely Wallace DJ Johnson Matt Corral All this to say, I could see a team like the Jets going w/ a 2nd. They have three FRPs next year.
    • Alright man! We're here for it! Just glad you're keeping the doors open!
    • I think we've seen improvement in Bryce's performance. It still isn't up to world beater status, but in Canales defense, he can say that the limitations of the player were hit. I think he survives that even if Bryce doesn't. Still, I think it's a 50/50 shot for Bryce to make it. QB is one of the toughest jobs to do in the sports world, if not the most, so the failure rate is really high, no matter the pedigree. Heck, Archie Manning gets a lot of credit as a great QB but anyone who saw his career in motion knows he wasn't really that good and he was surrounded by bottom of the bowl players. He did get it figured out with his sons, though. That grandson... maybe.
