I think you are going to get your wish

Can anyone explain to me why Canales isn't part of the Seahawks coaching search? They should have pretty intimate knowledge of him. Them not bringing him in for at least a Zoom call is a bit of a red flag for me.

He was Petes guy, maybe theres some ill will there with how it shook out with Carroll? They could have requested and he declined.

Yet so is Dan Quinn.  Who they’ve been diving deep into.

i have many been high on Canales at all.  He has been a predictable play caller for the most part.  It’s been pointed out he has used less motion (which is a big part of modern offenses) than even Frank Reich.  He had 2 top 15 WRs and one of the better LT’s in the entire NFL this year which helped.  

Also it is a huge red flag that the team where he was an assistant with for 12 years. And the guy everyone’s credit and points to for Canales in Geno Smith, is their current Franchise QB

Why aren’t they even reaching out, considering, heck not even a rd 1 phone interview.

Here's what I'll say, he's interesting.

Here's a video where he's talking and explaining things in an interview:

I'd absolutely interview him.  I do like a LOT of what he says, and his results over the years.  I also think @ncfan makes a great point above.

Canales says the right things, and he's produced as a coach, but is he HC material or just good OC material?

Not sure if you've seen this since the news, but the Bucs have a documentary about Dave from last year. First thing he says-- passed up 2x for OC spot in Seattle and it made him mad. Probably why nothing was happening there. Link to the documentary:

I was just speculating. I dont know poo haha. Im not even sure Im on board with Canales. Being friends with Dan Morgan makes me somewhat hesitant...it can create a bias and maybe cloud judgement. Let's just hope he can recreate those offensive #s if he's the guy.
