Canales equals disappointing

Team looks undisciplined 

His in game decisions are not helpful and not smart

same for personnel groupings 

I understand the challenges with what he has but for the love of God, a fake punt on your own 23?   That call on 4th and 2 to the short side of the field, please 

No point in discussing the defense …but to be the OC and the HC, it is not working

If he called two plays you liked, would it be working? 

I'm not down for a big argument I'll leave that to who is, I gave him a get out of jail card for the season. I think it could take him three years to get a good handle on the job.

I want stability inside that organization and it will not come with firing him. 

edit: or, if you could guarantee that we would have it if he was fired, then go ahead.

I can’t even tell that we have a coach, honestly. I have no idea what gets worked on week after week and it’s been this way since the first preseason game. I don’t know if it’s the players not responding to him or what but it’s straight pitiful. Talent is one thing, I get it…. but the entire team looks like they have no clue on what’s going on. That’s on him. I think he’s not the fit we need and he’s in way over his head.

I could smell the quit all the way from Georgia.

I have to wonder if anyone in the entire franchise actually gives a sh*t anymore. These NFL execs and coaches and even a good chunk of the players make tons of money. The people who work on the executive and management side of football are not special. It’s a fantastic level of good ol boy networking and nepotism to get one of those jobs and move up the ranks. It breeds allowing losers like Scott Fitterer to do literally nothing of note and get a GM job by swindling a naive owner. In summary, most of the people making the decisions are set for life with the amount of money they make, no one is really hurt in the end by being inept retards at their jobs, so why do they care? They don’t. The team will just keep regurgitating the same old results because no one cares and expects to get fired and collect another fat paycheck from another team. The Panthers are done.

He needs to either be an OC or an HC

Not both and certainly not with this team

Few head coaches are good  enough to be successful at both

I don’t really disagree. Few are, and thinking that because a couple are we need to have that too… 

I think something like that may end up being on the table for him to stay.

Honestly, at this point with just a few games to show what he’s made of, he might be my favorite Panthers coach in history. At least he takes chances and doesn’t tuck his tail in between his legs with a minute to go before the half.  The fake punt didn’t work, but I liked the call at that point in the game. He’s still learning, but I like his mindset. Haven’t ever been able to say that before.

I do too. Like his mind set. Or like it for offensive football anyway and hope he can learn the head coach stuff. I have o ly heard that there is no way you are ready for what being an NFL head coach entails if you have never done it.

    • They addressed D in free agency in a big way (Edge, ILB) and they signed a starting OT and a player they think could be a swing OT in reserve.  They have claimed to be adding "Weapons" to the offense.  I think that will be their focus.  I agree 100% that we need a T, but a reserve, developmental OT in a weak (at the top) draft does little to address that weakness in 2026.  If they are telling the truth, a reserve developmental OT is not a weapon.  The will draft a WR if that statement and their actions in free agency are accurate.  That does not mean we ignore OT--I just dont see where he takes a T if he is filling holes. As a coach, I am concerned about OT, but when I look at the roster, I see bigger immediate problems. S: We are OK if you want Scott for another season. Not ideal.  There is also talk of Smith-Wade being moved to S.  If so, we need a CBN. DT: Who took Robinson's job?  He played a lot.  All DTs (NT-DE) were average to below average, including 280 lb wharton.  We need a DT (my preference for the first pick, to be honest)  I am guessing a DT will be our third rounder? ILB:  Unless we want Wallace out there in coverage, we need a compliment to Lloyd.  I think Lloyd's starting mate is the second rounder. (speculating)  This pick is likely to occur in the second round because it is for a starting position. WR:  Some are fine with what we have.  sIn 2025, Coker had 3  TDs on 394 yards.  Legette had 3 TDs and 363 yards--and only 1 drop.  I love Coker, but neither should make us feel secure about WR with those numbers.  A lot depends on both stepping up in 2026, but Canales has been screaming weapons.  Could he mean Tight end?  That depends on how good they feel about Coker and XL. Center:  You can get a player ready to start relatively early in the middle rounds.  Very similar to the OT situation but I think C may be more of a priority right now than OT.   Tight End:  They seem to like Delp from Georgia who projects round 4. CB:  There was some talk of moving Smith-Wade to S (to learn for a season with Scott, maybe?) and that might require adding CB depth inside. Tackle?:  I agree that we need one, but this draft is simply not strong at the top at T.  The ONLY way to get a quality OT that is still developmental is to take one in round 1.  Canales has all but said we are not doing that.  But after the first 40 picks or so, they pretty much level out for a good while.  The fifth rounders and the third rounders are about the same.  For that Reason, I am guessing (It is all guesses) that they
