We got a new HC.

Like most so far my thoughts are mixed.

First of all I am hoping for the best.  If Evero stays the defense is good. If Canales is the real deal the Panthers could have a dynamic group of talented  young men running things.

My concerns...as has been mentioned numerous times, he has been a coordinator for only 1 year.  Before Tampa, he was with the same team for 13 years. Just wondering why Seattle did not give him any consideration?  That is curious to me.  Also, the Panthers were the only team that gave him an interview. ??

Positives...both Geno Smith and Baker had career years with him.  Geno won comeback player of the year.  Russell Wilson has not looked the same since he left Seattle,

Dan knows him very well. Here's hoping Dan's assessment of him is right.

In Seattle he has coached both receivers and QB's.

I have to say, in the playoffs Baker did not look like the same QB we had in Carolina.

I would think Evero and Tabor stay.  Canales can focus on his offensive staff.  Hope it is a good one.

Rumors seem to be that "many" of the HC candidates do NOT want to come to Carolina, period.  So yeah, if we take a gamble on this guy, it seems like a good risk.  They could have taken Raheem Morris, but the Falcons have hired him.

Also, when he coached Geno Smith, Smith was the "Comeback Player of the Year". He coached Baker Mayfield for one season, and Mayfield was selected this week as "Comeback Player of the Year". Just saying.
