Morgan got his guy. Perhaps we should all rejoice. 

We can at least fool ourselves into thinking that Morgan told Tepper--who we all know wanted Johnson--to effectively "put a sock in it."

In Morgan we trust, until proven otherwise.

I've done the "convince myself to get on board" thing too many times already.

I'm burnt out on it

You shined Scott Fitterer's shoes more than anyone else in the Carolinas. There's no reason you can't be at least optimistic we didn't hire a retread.

As always Tepper and his wife are the wildcard here. No argument.

It's not as if we have any sayso on the choice. Hope he's better than the last few. Can't be much worse, so there's something positive.

Maybe we bring Wilson back to NC.

My big concern here Is that what everybody knew we needed was a guy who could/would tell David Tepper to butt out of this hiring decisions.

Canales is arguably the guy with the least leverage of any candidate to do that.

Nah, I just said he needed more time. Of course, that went out the window when Frank Reich was fired.

But as always, I know it's easier for you to argue against your misrepresentations of my positions than my actual positions.

I think that we'll hear plenty of optimism---optimism that seems delusional---about Bryce Young and how much Canales loves and believes I him (and how Morgan loves and believes in Young as well at his presser).  

Playing Devil's advocate, should he come in and say something like?...... "this whole oraganization totally blows! The owner is an egotistical jackass, and the starting QB is a noodle armed munchkin"

Good luck to the guy, he's started out the job as the captain of a ship that's three feet below the functional water line. He's got a helluva job ahead of him with limited resources, a potentially meddling ownership and a fanbase that has been bitten twice already.

It's going to have to see what he can turn out there before I'm able to really get behind this. But hey, surprise me man. 

Once upon a time I was like who's John Fox? And this guy Delhomme? He's a nothing burger, why did we grab him?

Sure would be nice to go on a wild ride like that all over again.

Fair, but I’m at least a little optimistic that Tepper is listening to Dan Morgan. Morgan has the extensive relationship with Canales. 

[Eazy-E]

Seems like we let our GM pick the coach he wanted rather than Tepper picking his guy. 
 

That’s progress in the right direction imo.

I never heard of the guy before this past week so indifferent.  Going by past tepper HC hires,  if this guy is even Rivera level it will be a win.

I think you need a middle ground option between love it and indifferent.

I like the hire and I feel optimistic and think he can do good things here if Morgan is the right guy and the Tepper's can quit meddling so much. I'm glad we went this route instead of a retread. That's my main takeaway.

This is me as well.  He wasn't my top choice, but I am definitely intrigued.  I wanted a younger offensive guy that wasn't a rethread so he checks those boxes.  Spending over a decade under Pete Carroll is a nice box to check as well.

Brother all we gave him was time and each time we were worse off for it. All his wheeling and dealing only amounted to the darkest days in the history of our franchise.

If you gave him the benefit of the doubt and tons of rope there's no reason to not at least give Canales a season to show us something.

This was telegraphed by the org days ago.

No surprise
