The franchise needs to reboot and get back to their roots.

You gotta pinpoint the guy with the right DNA. 

For example, Steichen, McDonald and Ben Johnson are the types for various reasons that had some clear potential. All fan favorites for our HC job.

I think Canales has some of the HC gene, but I just don’t like the approach we’ve team building wise and he didn’t have a ton of experience. So I don’t know how he would be with a bit better talent. But I also haven’t been a fan of his offense thus far. A bit conflicted. 

The defense is not well constructed (has some promising parts) and the offense has zero identity (with McMillan being a start).

So it’s a bit muddy. I think worth seeing how he can rally these guys this season, but if that’s the case, you gotta increase his seat temp and give him the green light to bench/release and bring in who he wants to help improve. Then DT should analyze that the remainder of the season and make the call once it’s over.

If embarrassments like this become a trend, then it would be worth canning.

Yeah whatever we have been doing the last 7 years isn’t working. Go back to what worked before.

We need to get back to being mediocre (not sarcasm). Right now we are terrible, non-competitive, and can’t even attract decent free agents. On top of that, we are probably top 3 softest team in the league year after year. I would gladly take a retread DC guy to build the culture up and get us back to the middle of the pack at least. 
 

At least then we can attract decent talent and coaching candidates.
