Sure. Except I would be very surprised to see him have to settle for a DC position. 
Especially under a guy with the experience level of Canales.  

Exactly.  Not gonna happen…

He will be 1 of the sought-after names next year, and there will be a contender that for whatever reason feels a change is necessary. He will have his choice of destinations if he still wants to be in the job market.

He should.  Tomlin too.

Tomlin might be done. IDK. He's won a Superbowl. He knows what it takes and that he was in an exceptionally supportive and patient environmont, and that is not the norm. You never know really how the competitive fire is going to burn in someone like that, and everyone has a price I guess, but I would not be at all shocked if ends up more following the career path of former Steelers coach Cowher and never going back to the sideline.

For some reason I see Buffalo as a good spot for him. Similar to Pittsburgh in a few ways. They have kept coaches longer than many, and are kind of working class. And have a QB. If the new hire falters and Tomlin wants back in,  could be something there.

Would be a potentially good spot. I sort of think if he does return to coaching it would be in the NFC. There's a trend of avoiding the awkward showdowns and return visits when you really start to look at many of those next stops.

So which NFC is a fit? Tampa if Bowles fumbles it his year? Tepper was allegedly wanting his head when in Pittsburgh ownership group.  I thought about us and our history of being defensive oriented. Kind of old school.  But then the owner…..

Tampa does have a bit of a history with hiring minority coaches.

I could see Atlanta also being interested, but I don't think the timing would be suitable.

There has been a little talk about the window now being closed in Detroit, but I would be surprised if Campbell is out if they have a bad year.

As a real dark horse, with all the rumors of internal strife, the Eagles maybe. Stays in PA, contender team, would have to be a disaster to not continue his winning season streak.

The NFC E seemed like a good division for his style.  
I wasn’t even thinking about minority guys in TB (but you are right), it was driven by their history of team makeup and defensive focus and success. Outside of a couple of Brady years. And Gruden. Forgot about him.
