You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

This is truly the first time my brain wanders to what we’d look like if we had kept Wilks. Not that it matters, but I wish I could peer into that window for a minute and see what’s up.

Wilks wasn't going to change this teams trajectory. Thats just fans wishful thinking. He's not a headcoach plain and simple.

Give Caldwell the offense and Capers the defense and see what happens.

I think some of y'all are just trying to rationalize his fúcked up decisions, but I could be wrong. I don't think I am, but I could be. Everything seems kind of murky, but I still say Canales is responsible.

"There was obviously criticism, but Panthers head coach Dave Canales never wavered.

"So even after a rough season for a defense in a constant state of personnel flux, Canales knew who he wanted calling the plays for him on that side of the ball — defensive coordinator Ejiro Evero."

 

Canales is the culprit in my eyes.

 

"I've played against this defense, I've played against it in Seattle with the Rams for a bunch of years, I played against it twice last year," Canales said. "I know what this defense will look like, and I'm committed to that. Ejiro's committed to that, so it's about developing the players that we've brought in and evaluating our schemes. So we have to be able to look at our schemes and be really critical of all those things as well."

Yeah I mean maybe. But I also don’t think any HC in the league comes out and trash talks their DC even if behind closed doors he doesn’t want him. I think the cracks started showing last week with his comments over playing younger guys on D

And even if he were, he wouldn’t cowtow to Tepper.

I’ll be honest, sign me up for the present day version of Fox/Ron.   I’ll take playoffs every other season-ish over what we are.  
 

Panthers haven’t been fun since then

Jim Caldwell was a decision maker in Morgan and Canales happening.   It’s like we suddenly forgot all the Game of Thrones reporting and the fact a massive % of the Frank era never left the building.   
 

Every new regime is rooted in the old one.  It's a death spiral.
