This! Also would bet there were no second interviews with other candidates because their agents said not interested. We are going to have to get lucky for this to work.

Should probably also have added this is the guy with the least amount of leverage.

That at least potentially allows Tepper to continue influencing things like staff choices. Likewise means he's less likely to demand a long-term, fully guaranteed contract.

This is one of the stupidest decisions in team history. They are literally the only team pursuing Canales, you can at least wait until next week to talk to Macdonald, Monken, and Johnson and he will still be there with NOBODY interested in him.
 

God fuging forbid anyone with a spine gets the job.

It could turn out to be good, but I definitely have concerns...

- one year coordinator

- nobody else was pursuing him for a second interview that I saw

- would have only had to wait 3 days to interview one of the championship guys

- makes it seem like an impatient / panic / bidding against ourselves move

As always, I hope it works. In this case, I'm not so much down on the candidate as I am how the hiring process played out.

Where else did he interview?

Monken is only a few years younger than Reich and won't have an MVP candidate at QB. Why does his name keep coming up?

Canales managed to make Baker relevant again 

there are similarities with Yoing and Baker

Smaller size.  Not great arm strength etc

better rolling to see the field 

might as well hope as not

i do not believe young is the answer in the nfl but maybe improved this year with a simpler offense 

designed for him vs against 

as Einstein said paraphrased ‘if you expect a fish to climb a tree, you will always be disappointed’ 

What? Baker Mayfield has one of the best arms in the league.

would be nice to see Carroll join him here in some role. after last year's shitshow we need our coaching staff to all be on the same page so I expect much of the staff to have worked with Canales in the past. Will be interesting to see if we keep Evero, hopefully Tepper isn't forcing it on him but if he wants to keep him then I'm all for it.

I’m just throwing his name up to say let the guy at least get a second interview. If we are forced to hire a nobody because there isn’t anyone decent out there that wants the job, then at least interview all the nobodies.

      My one and only mock draft

      By ECHornet · Posted

      Walker/Stewart>Mykel on EDGE for me I’d still like to add TMac.    The only two WRs we have contracted beyond this year are XL and Coker (ERFA). Moving forward with TMac and those two feels much better.

      The trade below a few years ago was so bad and in favor of the Ravens, tf was Arizona doing Cardinals receive: Marquise Brown and 3rd round pick  Ravens receive: 23rd overall pick

      keaton is a former Catamount.  The list I saw had only 2--Sanker and Emmanwori.  But I do recall hearing about Bowman. The theory that we are looking for specific hybrid safeties is upheld by this.  Keaton fits the "type" who can play zone or deep and in the box.  "He's a physical player with a high motor and a nose for the football. He has a good understanding of zone coverage and can play in the box as a force defender. Keaton is a leader and has earned a single-digit jersey number at Temple, a tradition reserved for team leaders." At WCU, he averaged 6.5 tackles per game, leading the team before transferring. Sanker has special teams abilities and a high football IQ.  He can cover TEs and RBs and keeps the play in front.  He would be a nice fit as a depth player.  I did not know they met with Bowman at the SR bowl.  He is more of a free safety who struggles in tackling/run support, but that is not to say he is not versatile within his capabilities. Stark is a SS who is a brutal hitter, but I don't see his hybrid qualities--they met with him at the Combine when everyone was in the building, but that was nearly 2 months ago and I don't think there has been contact since. Emmanwori is who they would love to have in my opinion.  NFL Draft Buzz:  "His ability to play in the box, handle man coverage responsibilities, and deliver bone-crushing hits makes him an ideal fit for defenses that ask their safeties to wear multiple hats." So it seems they are looking for a type.  The Keaton pick is intriguing to me because he is a sleeper who would clearly be there in round 5 or later.  They seem attracted to his characteristics, and he is a thumper who can play deep.  To me, the fact that they want 2 hybrid safeties of a certain type is rather obvious.  Maybe I am forcing a round peg into a square hole, but I love trying to see what skillsets teams value to guess draft picks.
