Yeah, we so badly chose the wrong Bucs OC...

Only good news is that with the bucs winning the division, they will keep Bowles most likely 

Umm, the Bucs that lost to New Orleans' wunderkind and Atlanta's grandpa?

It isn’t Canales. It’s Bryce. It’s our draft strategy. To adequately utilize the receivers we drafted, you need a Joe Burrow style of QB, not Bryce. Bryce would thrive with a room like the Chiefs have. They even called him mini-Mahomes when he was drafted yet refuse to build the same style of offensive personnel. 

Not even talking about Bryce. His in game recognition and adjustments are staggeringly slow. He's not seeing the whole picture because he's focused too much on calling plays. He needs to concentrate on being a HC. He's not good enough to do both.

Canales has improved over time, but he's still learning. 

That he's actually capable of learning puts him a cut above a fair number of unsuccessful coaches.

Canales is limited like much of this build. Good news is that the NFL has built in parady so that gives every team an easy pass to hover around .500 when they are not openly shooting themselves in the feet.

He’s probably referring to Liam cohen.

Bryce may suck but Kellen Moore thoroughly pants'd Canales in both meetings. And Moore was someone we brought in and said "no thanks", just like Steichen and Harbaugh. Tepper has zero eye for identifying football talent. 

That said, Canales deserves another year, but he has to show improvement next year

Kellen Moore is a very good coach.

Maybe the dog poo play calling, especially the 4th down!

I don't take any issue with the 4th down call. He's always been aggressive, which is how he should be. It just didn't go our way this time. Overall we've had a good amount of success on 4th down this year so I don't blame him. A field goal from that spot was far from a sure thing.
