Let’s stop ripping this dude and give him some credit. Already passed last years win total with arguably a worse roster. Hes gotten better as the year has gone on (crazy for a rookie coach, I know) and our second year QB is looking better than he ever has. 
 

I still think we need to find another quarterback next season for obvious reasons, but at the very least Dave should have some momentum going in to year two. 

Give Frank Reich this OL and he probably pushing .500 last year 

Canales needs to hire an OC.  Focus on being a HC.  He isn’t a good playcaller and has no resume to be pulling double duty like this.

I am not convinced he is "the guy" but he does appear to be slowly improving.

Would like to see 3 more wins so he could win 6 games, more than Rhule ever did. Draft be damned..

Matt Rhule had Christian McCaffrey, Brian Burns and DJ Moore and couldn't win 6 games if they played 20 every year.

Give Frank Reich this OL and you're 1-9. I like Frank but he's cooked.

Nah.  The difference between 2023s OL and 2024s OL is gigantic.  If Frank has this OL last year…Frank would have been the HC this year.  

Frank couldn’t make it work with Bryce Young and horrific OL play.   Canales has Bryce basically same with really good OL play.

Well, since he's won us out of the Shedeur/Cam sweepstakes. Then 2nd round boy Quinn Ewers will be key ingredient for Canales to complete the turn around.

Don’t tell me what to do

His time management and play calling is atrocious 

You're asking him to call a perfect game with the talent he has at his disposal. 

It's just not going to happen, especially for a rookie HC. 

He's been promising so far - let's see how he develops.

Miserable group

Congrats Dave, team is buying in and learning how to win

Beat the Gardner Minshew lead Raiders, the Saints 2nd/3rd stringers after their actual starters stomped us week 1, and a Giants team that looked like they were intentionally trying to lose

Welp, I'm sold. Go ahead and build this guys statue.

Some of his play calling has been questionable, like not give Chubba the ball more when he is dominating. But definitely something to build on. 

Not counting the three in OT, I thought Chuba had about the perfect number of carries (25).  At some point, he needs more help from the rest of the offense (passing and another running back).

Agree 100%.

And even with loads of talent, all coaches make some questionable calls.

Eh it seems like he’s done a decent job building a locker room culture with a bad team, which isn’t easy to do. He also shows that he can dial up great drives/play design. But damn, the playing not to lose in the 4th quarter was tough to watch.

I was glad to see that we stuck to the run but it’s not bad to throw in a play action when everyone on the field thinks you are trying to run the clock out.

Absolutely. Just not realistic to expect much more from him at this point with what he’s working with.
