Will 5-6 wins be enough for Canales to keep his job?

Think about how batshitt crazy Tepper would look like if he fired Canales. The die hard fans are much more critical on Canales since we watch every game, but from an outside perspective the average fan sees Carolina as a team who has vastly improved and should be ecstatic with what Canales has accomplished with this team. When was the last time we had 6 wins at this point of the season? Is Canales perfect? No. But he’s 100% safe. It shouldn’t even be a thought 

last year, we were the happiest 5-12 fan base going into the off-season based on our end-of-season momentum, compared to other 5-12 teams that were just horrible

I think every long time Panthers fan can see the season is over. With the hardest remaining schedule in the NFL with every game against a legitimate Super Bowl contender, the Panthers are done. Will the current win total with maybe 1 more win be enough to keep his job? 

Lol lol your posts always age like fine wine..   lmfao not understanding why we defer in OT with no sudden death is frikking hilarious

DC isn’t going anywhere. He’s shown constant growth every year and is headed in the right direction. 
 

RR showed similar growth his first couple years and then, BAM. Super Bowl.

No he needs ar least 8 imo

We are inching our way to a winning season.  Whether DC turns out to be the greatest coach ever or "good enough", I think we should try stability for a change and see how it suits us.

He's defintely keeping his job at this point, would honestly be surprised if he didn't get another two years because of this 

[carpanfan96]

He was going to get extra time because of the Bryce Young question. 

[blackcat]

I'd like to think he would get another year (maybe 2 if we draft a guy) with a QB of his choice.  Unfortunately, I don't think the Panthers are going to move on from Bryce like we hope.  If they do keep Bryce, I see DC getting canned midseason next year.

[TD alt]

I think he gets 1 definitely and 1+ if he gets a new QB.

On an off note, I think that the bigger question is Ejiro Evero, but I believe even he will likely get another year.

Canales isn't on any kind of hotseat right now. And Echiro will probably get some HC sniffs depending on how the season rolls out.

And Bryce? I can't knock him after that performance yesterday, except to say, do it some more.

Here we are 11 games in and we're a half game out of first place in our division, we have a better record than the Chiefs and Ravens. Did not see this season playing out this way.

Hardest remaining schedule in the NFL (as of stats yesterday) but that could be a real character building opportunity for this team. If we could squeeze out a 9-8 season, I think we'd call it a miracle.

I think anything aside from like 0-3 wins was probably going to allow Dave to go into 2026 as the head coach. Obviously, a lot would depend on what this season looked like but I would imagine at this point he is very safe headed into 2026. Even if(more likely when) the wheels fall off the rest of the way out, I suspect Tepper will want to see another offseason cycle with Dave at the helm. 

There could obviously be things that happen that change that in the remaining games but I don't think those are likely outcomes anymore.
