For Dave Canales, it's about more than just energy

[Carolina Panthers]

The Panthers' rookie head coach has a reputation for positivity and a high-octane approach. But his early months on the job here have shown he's also about the work and attention to detail.

Lots of subtle Rhule bashing in that piece. Canales does sound like the real deal and seems to have won over the players. You have to believe that it will eventually translate to a winning program.

I can't imagine what kind of toxic work place the Rhule era was. Glad that's behind the team now. Canales seems refreshing compared to some of the last coaching staff that they had to deal with. I want to be a little optimistic but I'm holding off until I see how camp plays out. Fool me once.....

But during one rep in practice this spring, one offensive player casually chunked it back in the general vicinity of the huddle, where running back Chuba Hubbard caught it and quickly handed it to Corbett.

Canales blew the whistle. He calmly explained to the entire team that's not what he wanted to see. Then he had them re-rack the play and do it again. No yelling and screaming. Teaching point, emphasized, next rep.

The ball went back to Corbett for the rest of the period. And there's a larger lesson there.

Flashback to touching the DBO sign for a false start and making the entire team run laps when the ball was extended over the goal line in practice.

Megalomaniac, small dick energy from Rhule his entire time here.

For a young man, and coach, he sure feels like he's been here before and knows exactly what it's going to take to win a Championship.

a little optimism, positive attitude, and getting buy-in from your co-workers/teammates goes a long way to building successful outcomes.

Not just in sports

Given the last six years the life has been sucked out of this team, its very welcomed. I just hate how it can be very hard to tell if its real, most times it feels faked.

For this poster, he often wonders why they title so many pieces like this.

Bottom line, he is gonna have to do some tangible good stuff to back it up. If he has the goods that attitude would be a plus.
