I like how he actually answers the questions.

[@PadForce]

Preach, not sure I heard a single “trust the process”

[@brandonrhea6823]

The little things we‘ve been devoid of for years 😭

[@OReely444]

He isn't rehearsed at all and he doesn't prepare that way it's really refreshing. You can tell he's just being honest.

[@pcxPOT]

I really hate those types of coaches who keep repeating those empty words that don't mean anything

[@PJ_food_kicks_culture]

This coach is a fresh breath 😮‍💨

[@MaverickCarolina]

Definitely.. I haven't felt good about a Carolina Coach since Tepper fired Rivera (Loved River Boat Ron) I really like his attitude!

[@joshuaandrews9753]

I just watched a few Reich press conferences and the contrast is uncanny, Canales is so refreshing.

[@gizmaticopappy1524]

"I'm not a negative motivator" and "You gotta' earn it" loving this dude so far. Let's go Panther Nation!!

[@chris2236]

We gotta earn primetime games Could not have said it better hopefully we do this year!!

[@lochanbandi]

Let's go Dave! I'm hype for our coach! Excited for Carolina football this season.

[@dylancochran5552]

Love his enthusiastic transparency

[@bumbaclaus]

Oh no!, he said vanilla 😂

Hopefully it's Vanilla Bean and not homestyle 😄

It’s good to see a coach that thinks! Canales is a real deal coach. he’s planning for the success of the team step by step. A PANTHERS CULTURE is BEING BUILD THE RIGHT WAY. I’m feeling pretty confident about this upcoming season.

[@johnmonahan3895]

Whole team is learning an entirely new system and all of these fans complaining about things being “vanilla” on day 1 on OTA’s

[@anthonyvasquez2112]

Finally coach who answers questions 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻💯💯💯

[@dewittjoyner2499]

I died inside when he said vanilla.

[@todtillman2668]

Eh, vanilla in OTA’s is not even close to vanilla in preseason. But I understand the concern and felt it at first too

[@pgb6517]

We’re installing a new offensive system so vanilla isn’t surprising at this stage. If we’re still “tasting” vanilla during preseason instead of some semblance of game planning then we have a problem.

[@wildwytemusic8125]

A majority of the nfl goes vanilla during preseason

[@mrblackbird1254]

Bucs fan here - I’ll actually be rooting for the Panthers as my second favorite team this year (love Canales as a coach and graduated from Bama so I’m invested in Bryce). Canales started vanilla with the offense last year. This should not be concerning in the least. I’d bet good money Bryce will look at least twice as good as last year. Once he sees results with Canales early in the season, his trust in the Canales’ process will unlock his potential imo

[@Carolinaking22]

Absolute facts brother.

[@pgb6517]

@@wildwytemusic8125 I agree. The problem here in Carolina is “vanilla” has a habit of spilling over into the regular season, specifically on offense. This new regime has given me reason for optimism though.

[@wildwytemusic8125]

Just got to remember the pre season is for roster filling I've seen teams win the preseason and lose most the year imagine dropping some tape so our division opps can be like they did this week 1 of the preseason

[@highway70brownboy]

He said it 😮

[@annepagh8049]

So much positive to take out of this press conference, and most of the fans get caught on a word he uses to explain the process of easing the team into the new system. Smh. I feel really positive about Coach Canales and the outlook he brings into the building. It's clear to me the culture is already a lot better in our organization 👌🏼 excited to see everyone gobsmacked when Bryce shows his true potential this year 💪🏼

[@Trav24pantherpride]

I thought he was going to be a players coach I like hearing he was getting on them day 1 accountability is key

[@Carolinaking22]

Yea this whole off season has a different feel to it and yes they do have to earn prime time slots and I’m optimistic about this season. Keep pounding

[@cavman250]

I would be the first in line if this guy taught a leadership course! I work for VHA, so I can use all that I can get. He just sounds the part... brilliant really. The positivity is infectious! Good things in store for panther nation, that's my prediction.

[@ncfldtw2422]

Team Canales since day 1. He will be our best coach in Franchise history when it is said and done.

[@RS-ph7wn]

Nobody told him vanilla is a trigger word

[@Dripz9292]

Loved Dave when he was in Tampa, and the panthers have themselves a great head coach now. I hate to say this as a Tampa fan, but I hope the Panthers see some success with Dave at the helm. Besides when they play Tampa of course 😜

[@samhaines829]

Jack is in the house.

[@grantpicklesimer2995]

He confirmed one thing we already know....If you want to play at night in this league, you have to earn it! The Panthers didn't earn it last year. If things change this year and they win games, then next season will be different in that regard.

[@S.G.Thomas15]

[@RobCatacomb]

Im Vanilla as hell myself but didn't really like hearing vanilla. Maybe when the season starts, hopefully not so vanilla as we build it out

[@josephgoldberg2392]

Y’all getting bent out of shape for nothing! By vanilla he means the basics. It’s like week 2! You get the fundamentals of the offense down and go from there!
