If we lose Evero this is really going to be a questionable hire. At least we have something with the defense. Not sure it's the same defense without Evero.

 

Hopefully we can keep Evero as DC.

He's under contract and paid well. Unless he gets a HC offer or Canales just hates him (he scored 30 points total against us in 2 games, so he should be pretty impressed) I think he stays.

This is 100% Dan Morgan. He's been tight with Canales for longer than he's known Tepper.

Y'all wanted Tepper to get out the way well Dan is your "football guy" now.


Yep, they worked together for 7 years in Seattle.

On a similar note, I wish Tepp would pay Pete a billion dollars to come on in some sort of advisory role.

I think I feel the same way, but also double edged sword. What does Pete want to do? Would he come here and really push coaching decisions like we heard last year with Reich and all this experience on staff? Or would he be a pretty silent but helpful resource in the background? Who knows, but yeah would be good to explore that

So what I'm reading is, if we had conducted a second interview with, say, Macdonald on Monday and hired Canales on Tuesday, you'd be fine with it? I suppose I understand doing due diligence, but I don't really feel all that up in arms about moving on it now rather than 4 days later. Maybe Dave and Dan decided Canales was their guy and didn't want to have a repeat of what happened last season with Johnson pulling out of the process the night before his interview. 

I think given what by all accounts was reportedly Tepper's hard on for Johnson, there's a reason they didn't wait until he was available for a second interview.  

Word was they were pretty high on Callahan before the Titans got him. Hence why I fear we panicked here.

It also comes off as a "bidding against ourselves" sort of thing since no one else was pursuing him. There was no need to rush...but we did.

I hope it works, but it might be one of those cases of "more lucky than good".

Fine hire from a O perspective.  But we have to wait and see if Tepper is going to screw him and repeat his patterns.

if Ejiro, Tabor, Caldwell, all remain…..Tepper hasn’t learned anything.  Guy is pretty green so I could see Tepper wanting to build out his staff for him.

I know he had first interviews with a couple of teams. From what I saw, no second interview requests other than us.

I'd have to look up who the others were.

Circling back to this: according to Julian council on twitter, he didn’t interview with anyone else.

    • I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
    • You got the gist of his main issue. He plays LB or whatever on D, but hates to tackle and contact. That's the summary.  I normally have a wide margin of " Hey vet min/bring him for try out/maybe he changed/etc etc". But he can not be trusted, * but he did just have his "best" season. He's like those RB that refuse to run between the tackles, bounce everything outside...they too are scared of contact. That's like the whole point of NFL, he's able to trick and athlete his way for 5 years, props to him and his agent.  Me personally I view him like virus, I wouldn't want him on film shying away from hitting while the rookies&UDFA are looking for how the Panthers do things. Plus Im the biggest sucker there is about giving former 1st, 2nd, etc another chances. Just not someone who doesn't want to play NFL and fools those with his god given gifts.  ____________________________________________________________   \ Not to add another layer to this, but I feel contact and hitting its the biggest problem for the NFL. I sorta agree with TEs, WRs, and RBs either going out of bounds or falling to the ground to avoid a solid hit(this goes out the window for 1st downs, SB, etc.) Like if a WR caught a deep slant and already gained 17 yards, but here comes a safety with a great angle, Im all for that WR to fall on the ground...... ugh...... But I think the opposite for my defense. I feel this topic is central sun hot and NFL has done a great job in avoiding it. Im surprised NFL is still allowed, I have huge doubts in the future. 
    • not sure if carolina picks a WR in this draft, they have some young WR already and will let them develop. Need another vet imo.  I think carolina is going to pass more to the RB's this coming season, look for them to move heaven and earth for Cam Skatteboo.  I really hope they go TE Warren in the 1st. That would add another dynamic to this offense.
