I was madly disappointed last season after firing Leftwich that we weren't promoting someone from within the organization among BA's huge army of Assistant Coaches. Thad Lewis coached the WRs in 22 and the QB in 23. We may have our guy already and he might be the most suited from a continuity perspective. I'm assuming that is where you are going with your post.
We were 0-19 scoring TDs on opening drives. 32nd in run game efficiency. 27th in scoring TDs in the red zone. Even the passing game which was the strength of the offense was just 17th.
It honestly can only go up from here.

Re: The Church of Canales
Canales will be a better head coach than offensive coordinator. He's built to be a HC. The continuity is my only concern. We had s great locker room this year, but we will find a better OC.

Clearly he was hired as a HC after 1 season because he was a terrible OC

Re: The Church of Canales
I believe his play calling can be replaced. It's his
Whole demeanor, positivity whatever yu want to call it that will be missed most. He made it fun to come to work. Bowels said it was like a college atmosphere with everyone playing for each other.
He'll I felt better after just listening to him. He's going to be a great coach. I knew as soon as Carolina interviewed him he was gone. How could yu not believe. He has the IT factor. Big loss

Re: The Church of Canales
This is a bummer, but I’m not surprised.
I was really looking forward to seeing how things took shape in year 2. The continuity would have been awesome… but this is the price of doing well. Also sucks that it’s to a divisional foe.

Re: The Church of Canales
Many of Panthers fans are not happy with Canales' hiring. What say you? @CamCam
Re: The Church of Canales
I don't think it's a big loss that Canales is now with the Panthers, you guys are making it a big deal.

Re: The Church of Canales
I think Canales was on his way to becoming an excellent OC, but you’re correct. Also the fact is that Bowles vetted Canales in the first place so he can do it again with the next OC.Bootz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 2:02 pmYou're treating Canales like he revolutionized offense in the NFL.

Re: The Church of Canales
That's how I'm looking at this. This is basically Bowles 1st time having input on hiring an OC and in 1 seasoj hey went to the playoffs, won the division, a playoff game and that guy got hired as a HC. Logic tells me he can absolutely do it again.Primeminister wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:07 pmI think Canales was on his way to becoming an excellent OC, but you’re correct.

Re: The Church of Canales
Exactly. It speaks to the competency of his process which is impressive. Considering how long Bowles has been around I was surprised and impressed with the Canales hire because it wasn’t someone familiar to him. Generally coaches don’t hold true searches so much as hire known quantities. I hope Bowles takes that same approach even if the end result is a known quantity.Bootz wrote: ↑Thu Jan 25, 2024 6:10 pmThat's how I'm looking at this.

It’s also an opportunity that could be fleeting. Look what happened to Lefty — potential HC candidate to out of the league in the matter of one season.
Timing sucks for us, and it really blows it’s to a rival, but I can’t begrudge him. Maybe if he was here for a long time (like McKay)… and/or it was to the Saints haha

Re: The Church of Canales
Agreed. You can't realistically expect an assistant coach to turn down a HC gig. I don't know what his contract will be it's probably a big step up from whatever we were paying him as OC. Plus, there is a certain amount of prestige in earning a shot at the big office, even if it is under Tepper.Primeminister wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 12:05 amI am sure the players are fine and likely happy for him.

I just think he he took a job that is a losing proposition. That team is in a bad, bad place and it's going to take some miraculous work on befalf of Canales and his Gm to turn it around any time soon.

Re: The Church of Canales
Let me get this straight. People were saying before why would Mike wanna stay in Tampa who has minimal chance at a championship with Baker. Now they think he'd go to Carolina with no chance of one??
This is rich. Carolina has less cap space than we do going into 2024. They also are without a 1st round pick as well. If Evans decided to go to Carolina it would ONLY be to play for Canales because it damn sure wouldn't be for the money or to win.

Re: The Church of Canales
I disagree they all they feel is happy for him. You don’t have a group of humans as connected as they were and feel nothing but joy when one leaves. They can be supportive of him and still feel some abandonment. Both can exist at the same time.Primeminister wrote: ↑Fri Jan 26, 2024 12:05 amI am sure the players are fine and likely happy for him.

Re: The Church of Canales
So grown men should be upset that someone they have love and respect for took a better opportunity for himself and his family?
Any player upset about that needs to be let go. Without question. That type of jealousy has no business in any professional setting.

Re: The Church of Canales
wholeheartedly agree. If one of your close colleagues let you know someone reached out to him to headhunt him, not the other way around, and wanted to provide him a fully guaranteed salary for 2-3-4-5 times what he's currently making on a non-guaranteed salary and you were like, "well I guess you never really liked us, did you?" you need to take a hike.

Big time opportunity and financial security for him and his family. A six year contract, and we all know that coaching contracts are fully guaranteed unless the team can show cause.
I'm disappointed but not upset to the point where I'm letting it affect me. And the players shouldn't be either. This is a business. You work to get ahead in a business.

"Currently, the position remains vacant, as Bowles looks to hire his third coordinator in four years."
Right now, I think Bowles is 1-4 in the picking an OC.

Re: The Church of Canales

Re: The Church of Canales
I've learned not to be happy with anything until we start winning
But he is an exciting hire after what happened with Geno and Baker also a hit to the Bucs is a plus
Edit: Also with big names out there Canales isn't what people expected considering wasn't this his first year as OC? a lot of us wanted Harbaugh with some people I know wanting Belichick.
