Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

[Jackson113.2]

"It ended on a relative high, but is that sustainable? It better be, considering [Dave] Canales enters Year 3 working for an impulsive owner. There’s not much room to slide backwards from an 8-9 season and 13-21 overall record. It doesn’t help that his primary job has been the development of quarterback Bryce Young, and the progress there has been inconsistent. Canales was supposed to turn the former top pick into a franchise quarterback. If that doesn’t happen by next January, the Panthers could be looking for both a new coach and quarterback."

5 win season with a terrible offense, yeah probably

Absolutely. His team went 4-6 in the final ten games and faltered more than once with the opportunity to take control of the division on their own terms.

More lukewarm than hot but struggle out of the gate and it would become pretty damn hot is my guess. That said, he really should get a chance to handpick a QB before getting let go.

if Atlanta doesn't go on a four game win streak to end the season, we'd be still talking about the botched flea flicker in the rain against Tampa

This damn play is shown as one of the worst sports plays of the year on a Canadian sports channel on repeat. The reminder on a weekly basis keeps me from being too happy with our playoff appearance.

The format of that doesn’t display on my iPad I had to paste it as plain text to see it so I am leaving it here to refer to…

I am gonna disagree with a lot of that. 
First reference is Tepper. That interview posted here a few days back gave me the impression that he is really happy with his FO. And Canales. Seat isn’t even warm as of right now. IMO. 

The assertion that Canales is supposed to turn Young into a franchise QB is something I have never bought. First, how could anyone look at 2023Bryce and see a can’t miss Franchise player?  He was for sure a could miss. 

I am not sure it was fix Bryce or you are both gone. Maybe that will happen The longer it drags on, I think maybe the more likely a total house cleaning could be an outcome. I mean it is only year 3 of Canales coming up. But as a couple of people like to point out, he has shown other concerning flaws that might damage his stock. 

As far as the hot seat, mid season with 2-3 wins I would imagine yeah it would be pretty warm. I think a small regression to say 7 or maybe even 6 wins would be tolerated but the seat is warm for 2027. Depends on the circumstances.
