Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales came the team last offseason as an unknown to many when he was hired to lead a Tom Brady-less offense. One season later, Canales is being considered as a head coaching candidate within league circles after resurrecting Baker Mayfield’s career and bringing the Bucs offense to life.
The Carolina Panthers are a team going through the motion of hiring their next head coach. Canales is a strong candidate as they are reportedly conducting a second interview Wednesday in person with the 42-year-old. Making things even more interesting is the fact the Panthers looked within their organization to name Dan Morgan their general manager.
