We literally have the worst coach in the league. Stop. 

Can you break down why you feel Canales’ offensive tendencies aren’t effective, why you feel he’s a poor communicator, his eye for talent, etc so that we might better understand

Don't get me wrong, I really like the Canales pick but the teams ahead are more set up for success so I will reserve judgement until I see results.

So is this ranking the coaches or the team resources? Seems like different things.

I won’t pretend to know enough about the other guys to rank them, but I’m cautiously optimistic about Canales. I’d rather him than Macdonald because even when the defensive guys hit on the right OC’s they always lose them to HC opportunities. Don’t know anything about Callahan. Morris already failed once as a HC. And the other guys weren’t in play for us.

How would you rate the new HCs in the league? 

For me:

7. WAS-Quinn

6. ATL- Morris

5. CAR- Canales

4. TENN- Callahan

3. NE- Mayo

2. SEA- MacDonald

1. LAC- Harbaugh 

They haven't done anything to judges or rank

 I am down on the hire because Tepper hired him, to be honest. That’s all I need anymore.

The hole he dug a year ago is still getting deeper but at the same time the position we are with the QBs in warrants a guy with his particular expertise Young or no Young.  

I have no hope at all he can transform the guy he was brought here for.

I do have hope though, that maybe he is the silver lining in this whole clusterfug. As we have seen time and again, you need a franchise QB, but you might even need a franchise coach more. For the times when you don’t have a franchise QB. And the times that you do, too. 

So far, I don’t see anything glaring* that says he can’t be (talking about the coach).

 

edit: *completely forgot to consider Tepper.

There's no way to tell, really. Every one of these teams was a trainwreck, and behind the scenes each may be as bad as our own was.

Harbaugh was the biggest get on paper, but Herbert has also supposed to have been the best QB of recent time... on paper. Overall, he's got the biggest resume going into the season.

The rest... we'll have to see.

And maybe Washington is getting a better prepared Dan Quinn than when he last was HC of the Falcons. And maybe not... he's going to have Falcon level players this time and that can be pretty rough.

Our guy, I just hope he can break the streak here.

This is how it's done.  Call out trolling; ask them legitimate football questions.  

 

Make this board actual have a football IQ again.

Trust me, I would like to rank Canales if he was put in a better situation but it's going to be a long road but at least it looks like Tepper may stay out of the operations side and just let Morgan and Canales do their thing... Hopefully it translates.

I will say that this new structure gives me 49ers vibes. Morgan as GM is basically Lynch. We got a young, promising HC in Canales (Shanahan), his right hand man in Idzick (McDaniels), and a rising star DC in Evero (Ryans). Not saying they will be as good as a 49ers but I feel like that is who they are emulating.

I wonder who will be our Adam Peters

While I generally have a positive opinion of Canales, I don't think he's going to be here long.

He's been handed a roster that is arguably the most devoid of talent in the league.  He has no 1st round pick to use or trade to start pulling us out.  Our cap situation is middle of the pack.  The QB he's been handed is a unicorn that will require all sorts of crazy hoop jumping and turn arounds to find success.  He's got an owner who has a clear history of impatience.

2024 is going to be ugly.  Six wins and no losses over 10 points would be incredible success.  I don't hold much hope for incredible success.  Four wins is a lot closer to reality.

I think we're hiring all new coaches and front office this time next year.

    • Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that. 
    • I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
