Dave Canales: the next rockstar head coach


Recommended Posts

Of all the coaches we've ever had.... we've had worse.
of all the head coaches in the NFL today.... there are worse.

DC has upside. I'm also optimistic.  (He learning and making adjustments, like handing off play calling)

Based on what? Its certainly not his in game coaching prowess. 

Imma go with based on his exceptional greenness.  There is nothing but upside. Theoretically. If he is a of above average intelligence he should be able to grow. 
Right now he seems to be on a Wilks type level where there isn’t any real innovation but the leadership thing is strong. There is a place for that. I want more out of him, football wise, but am not really expecting it at this point.

Its really more hype than substance. This season will have a lot to do with his future here. I personally don't have much faith in the guy but that's why they play the games.

It certainly is shaping up to be a pivotal year. About effing time.

We went from the 30th passing offense in 2024 to the 26th passing offense in 2025 and backed into the playoffs going 4-6.

I like Canales but we're a hell of a long way from rockstar status.

His results are too inconsistent to be calling him a rockstar. I'll give him a little grace, as he's not coached under the best of circumstances and has won some games he probably shouldn't have looking at personnel, but the big picture is still nebulous. The coming season should clear things up. But I'm not buying the "rockstar" or "QB guru" labels right now.

10 years ago Dave Canales looks like someone I’d have expected to be working for some retarded bro culture tech startup with way too much venture capital to burn through

    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.  
    • I still go back to the beat writers having a read on Rodriguez IF he was in play at 19.  If Dan puts his nuts on the table and takes him, pretty solid job of keeping the secrets in house. 
    • Not a chance. Maybe, just maybe if we move back far enough.
