Should Canalas bring someone else in to call offensive plays?

There's a lot of decent oc out of a job right now, I hope someone in the office at least brings in a few to interview.

Dave would rather be fired

I think that the Head Coach's duties during a game are to keep tempo up, handle issues that have arisen on the unit that is off the field, to manage the brakes/gas/clutch juggling and to cheerlead the players. An offensive coordinator, sitting in the sky box with an all-field from above view should be calling plays with some guidance from the HC.

Canales can lead men but he has trouble delegating and, more importantly, he can become too timid. We need an OC who attacks and exploits. Not someone standing on the sidelines trying to juggle geese AND get plays in on time.

We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it. 
This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment.
I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now. 

Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement. 
Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work. 
Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not. 
 

Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out. 
And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO. 
 

 

Forcing a coach to fire a coordinator is a common NFL occurrence. In this case it would be forcing him to fire himself from those duties.

IMO you only fire a coach for a few reasons

1. He isnt getting the most he can out of the roster/talent - can’t say that applies to Canales

2. He’s lost the locker room and players are checked out - I would say that’s not the case and the complete opposite with Canales

3. Team keeps coming up short in the playoffs with a Super Bowl level roster and they just need to make a change to see if a new coach can get them over the hump (think McDermott if the Bills don’t make the Super Bowl again) - Obviously that can’t apply to Canales yet

4. It has simply run its course and become stagnant and a change is needed (John Harbaugh) - Again doesnt apply to Canales
