Dave Canales hire grade

[Hugo]

Walterfootball has a good track record regarding coaching hire and fire grades. We might have something in Dave Canales.

I hope they're right again.

Era of the Canales Panthers has begun.

Still won’t stop Huddlers from posting a 14 page hate letter to Tepper for the hire

I admire those that still care enough about this team to do so.

I pity them too, but admire the spirit and commitment to being miserable nonetheless.

...Its a good logical hire.... but again....he cant make chicken salad outta chicken shtt....Is dipper gonna give him time to turn it around or does his dumbazz think personnel and talent on this team is good enough to win in 2024... one of the shittiest rosters i've seen in quite some time...

I'm an idiot for trying to defend the Reich hire.  But we are all wrong sometimes.  In retrospect, that was a bad hire from the get go, and Tepper did a good job admitting it was a bad decision.

I could not care less about Canales at this point but damn, is that a media outlet criticizing Rhule and Reich hires? I've been told so many times that they were only regarded positively... look at that. 

However, they also graded Fitterer... ouch.

Although it falls on him, I really get the idea that Tepper was micromanaging the hell out of Fitterer.  I am not sure he could avoid it.  The GM takes info from the scouts, coaches, and owner (in this case) and operates in the draft and free agency accordingly.   So on paper, Fitterer could have looked good, but he was dropped into a toxic culture with dysfunctional people in his ear.  I dunno.

To a point, yeah, but if that were true then I have to think at some point that Fitterer would have pointed to the product and just been like, "Look what you're doing, levae me/us alone." Assuming this scenario is true, even if he would have been better at the job without Tepper meddling then the spinelessness alone is enough to knock his grade way down. We'll never really know though.

The reason I say this is just a vibe I got from Fitterer--he seemed to reiterate the owner's talking points at times--just a vibe.
