The Buccaneers finally tabbed their new offensive coordinator Wednesday as Dave Canales beat out Thomas Brown of the Los Angeles Rams, per NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo.
Canales, who’s been with the Seattle Seahawks under Pete Carroll since 2010, reportedly wowed with several of his qualities despite being unacquainted with Todd Bowles, per Fox Sports’ Carmen Vitali (who previously covered the Bucs).
Bowles did not previously know Canales but he quickly ascended into the team's top three and became the favorite after his interview.
The Bucs came away impressed with Canales' understanding of the game and how great of a teacher and communicator he is.
