Canales

You have pretty high standards for a fan of a franchise that hasn't had a winning record in nearly a decade.

Dude is winning with a team in full rebuild mode with a traffic cone at QB.

 

I have been really easy on Canales. Refused to criticize anything in his first year. Knowing he wasn’t ready. 
Been very soft on him this year, knowing he still isn’t ready. Knowing how huge the job he is trying to do is even for an experienced guy.

 A lot to learn all at once. Play caller, one year as OC and here he is in the fire… and then on top of everything else he is saddled with Young. 

But he has done some very counter productive stuff. At this point he is only staying because I highly value continuity. We have some young players who are coming along and some things about the team are coming along. 
 

I am not really a pro Canales guy so much as a pragmatist at this point. Could go either way and would not care if he is gone as long as Bryce is gone too.

I mean you look at the guy Tepper wanted, Ben Johnson, and it's clear he's probably a better HC.

That said, he's not working with a cardboard cut out at QB. The Bears are more talented than we are (a large part of that is thanks to Fitterer). It's going to take time. I'm happy to take my lumps with Canales while we rebuild a roster and regain some goddamn pride. He's not a bad HC.

I really don’t know how people expect Canales to succeed with the fifth grader he has starting behind center every week. I hope he gets a chance with a really quarterback next year. It will be a much more fair assessment. 

I really don't know how people make excuses for Canales given that we all know how bad Bryce is while having two starting caliber RBs and yet Canales still calls 33 passes and 9 runs. Canales lost us the game by putting the game in the hands of a losing QB.

Maybe he wants to make it more obvious to the world on a national stage that Bryce sucks

You are giving him too much credit.
