[@St.CrimsonTweets]

Dude is 42 going on 31... I hope this is the final new hire of at least the next decade

[@Seek_m8]

Damn it I’m ready for Panther football now and we gotta wait 8 more months

[@daltonburbage6522]

That’s just 8 months our new head coach can work with bryce so he be better an more ready next season

[@exotictoast]

8 months until disappointment

[@crispywaffl3s]

Excited for this season, I love his passion for Bryce. I got faith, Keep Pounding

[@o.d.b.5344]

Let’s be patient guys! We as a fan base need to understand this is going to be a process if we want to get anywhere. Realistically it’s going to take another 2-3 years for us to be contenders.

[@Dr_Mike2]

LET'S GOOOO!!! I'm SO EXCITED about Coach Canales and TILLIS!! So much experience developing QBs & WRs. Tillis was integral for building the Chiefs. But I stress BE PATIENT. Set a goal for 6-7 wins in 2024.

[@dennyj.7331]

Welcome Dave! Let's go Panthers! Good to see Kristen again!

[@vtheg4842]

Really loving this guy!!!!!! KEEP POUNDING PANTHER NATION WE WILL BE BACK ON TOP EVENTUALLY!!!

[@FelipeRubio85]

From one Mexican-American to another: “Bienvenido a Carolina Dave!!🇲🇽🇺🇸 Super excited you’re here brother, can’t wait to see what you guys put together to turn this team’s culture around! 😃💪💪💪

[@Follows_Jesus]

Glad to have Dave and esp glad to have Balboni talking Panther football. Always love her interviews and personality. Keep Pounding....

[@jonathanbookman6709]

The transformation won't be instant. Tepper just needs to understand that and we'll have a chance of winning again. love this guy

[@thomashayes7321]

I think we finally found the fit the Panthers have been looking for in coach and gm

[@PapiDangerfield]

#KeepPounding Let’s go!! 🔵⚫️⚪️🏈⚪️⚫️🔵 #Panthers can’t wait for next season

[@GoodKarma90]

Welcome to the Carolinas, Coach! I love the hire and the energy Dave Caneles brings. I haven't been this excited about the Panthers' potential from a head coaching hire since Ron Rivera.

[@marioglenn1030]

💯

[@mabalicksbyyuo-sr7xk]

if that bum qb hands the ball off he be ok bryce a bum

[@IAmImprintJones]

All our queens of Panther Nation will definitely enjoy looking at this guy on Sunday 🙏🏾🙏🏾😂😂. He helped bring Seattle their first Superbowl in 2014 and If he turned baker into a division winning QB in 2023 hopefully we'll get that for Bryce and this offense to compliment that hardworking Defense. Tepper isn't my favorite owner by any means but at least he realized with Frank last year that what's going to help this team is legacy pieces that made this team special in the first place especially with Morgan now as GM. And Coach Canales said it best it's about building trust in each individual player in order to build around them. Definitely a youthful Packers level team now for sure with hopefully some promise to come with the same level of success they and Tampa had last year 💙🖤. AND he's a fellow Taurus King with the same birthday as mine May 7th ♉ LET'S GO 🔥🔥 🇺🇲🇲🇽👑

[@Qwizitis]

The best & biggest piece for this project is the first Dan Morgan is building a great product here that I’m excited as a panthers fan to watch 💯

[@michaelhudson4080]

Bring the toughness and accountability back. Especially offensive and defensive lines.

[@NinjaNolan3DIsGoated]

As a Bucs Fan. Dangggg sucks he left but he’s such a good coach. Y’all should win at least 8 games next year but sucks we lost him

[@KeepPoundingMrRicks]

Let’s goooooo Dave!!!!

[@barrylippard1846]

He really sounds like he’s going to be a great coach.

[@therreal2318]

I think this is going to be a lot different guys ... I really believe he's going to bring something we haven't experienced. Kinda reminds me of a Kyle shanhan l

[@MrDukefan1976]

Welcome Coach Canales. Like the swag already

[@melissapassmore5325]

Welcome to Carolina Coach Dave Canales!!!

[@Thebeast4192]

[@georgecastle18]

[@Red_Door01]

❤Exciting!

[@seanmcnally4818]

I'm rooting for Dave Canales, for sure. I want him to succeed, and be a part of turning this team around. Fact: Dave Canales is only the 5th Latino head coach in NFL History. Carolina has hired 2.

[@tarheeler7008]

[@Zking2010]

Please give him 2-3 years to put this team together

Welcome, Coach! GPKP

[@trapperfarris9029]

This guy knows what he’s doing

[@Stratted843]

This is a different vibe from the Reich hire this one actually makes sense

[@Good-Crazy]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@headshotgoat1272]

Hes putting bryce back in spread offense this year

[@dstory128]

He sounds like a young Pete Carroll

[@chuckcox7914]

#Keeppounding

[@HoboBob]

Well good luck Panthers. Sucks we lost him! Damn!!!!

[@user-ig3sx9ow5w]

#KeepPounding

[@dixienormus8406]

This could be diffrent. I hope tepper lets the gm and head coach do there thing. Its gonna take time, work and more talent. I think we just want to see year over year progress. We have been so stale for so long.

[@singe2715]

W

[@duffydacreator9263]

He reminds me of a Mike McDaniels a little bit

[@eaglerare1273]

This is like Groundhog Day

[@danielkaczmarski5688]

How so?

[@btkenzo2284]

I like this interview compared to Rhule and Reich. This one gives me confidence that he will het the best out of the team and we will actually be competitive.

[@stan8252]

NGL…I like em #KeepPounding

[@owencannon7418]

Are we back???

[@rayneozier]

As a Carolina sports fan I am excited for the Panthers future. If given the proper time and opportunity I think Coach Canales can make a real impact here 🫡

[@WhatThang]

He was able to maximize Russ' strength and hide Russ' weakness pretty well in Seattle and turned Geno into a certified starter, he would have no problem with Young, who's extremely talented. If nothing else, he can at least get Young in the right direction.

[@user-qt2yj9wl7f]

We looking for a HERO not A. O row. 🏆🤩

[@medinian7892]

"ME GUSTA!"

[@Saisei87]

I like this guy...he seems wayyyy smarter than Frank or Matt ever did (although I liked Steve Wilks too). I actually have some hope now for the future. If anything, ya'll saw how terrible Baker was under Matt Rhule, and then how Baker performed with Dave Canales....we can only hope he can work that same magic with Bryce....might be his breakout year next season if we can build around him with players other than just Chubba and Theilen.

[@S.G.Thomas15]

⚫️🐈‍⬛🔵

[@uthamanj]

He looks like Matthew Fox 😂😂

[@pansfan007]

I'll give the Tepper owned Panthers some credit. They do a good job with introducing new coaches. Can't wait until next years videos

[@joenop3393]

Carolina Buccaneers

[@chidori5048]

Y’all will not get me hype and excited again…but dammit by ysll getting close

[@mattmccreight7508]

How have we heard Dave Canales talk more in one day than Frank Reich in his entire tenure

[@GodEmperorTrump]

I’ve heard rumors about ole Dave. Those panthers execs better hide their wives 😂😂.

[@CardsAT]

Everybody wants the next McVay, but every coach ain't McVay.

[@KingSetherd]

Here we go again. Lol 😂

[@ghostkilla1963]

dude needs atleast 2-3 years, dont hammer him this season doesnt workout

[@Calaveravi]

Screw you Dave........... Also, good luck Dave (except twice a year). Hopefully the Panthers can get some success for the fans sake.

[@Will-wm7st]

😂

[@xboxhomiesplasticcupz2366]

I truly love the coach hire.. I’m just skeptical of the scouting part. That was the worst roster I’ve ever seen on a field. No coach regardless of how good, ie Bill Bellicheck, can coach garbage into winners.

[@Thetreymelton]

Disappointed in whoever chose the music

[@acllhes]

Our defense isn’t impressive at all

[@acllhes]

@@stunters44 opposing offenses were starting around mid field all year. That stat is shit.

[@acllhes]

@@stunters44 scoring defense: 29th in the league. Red zone: 27th. Our defense was garbage.

[@ausdawg3165]

Considering all the injuries and what we had to work with, I thought our defense performed the best they could, and for the most part they kept us in games

[@acllhes]

@@ausdawg3165 well our offense wasn’t the best obviously. So then you get to choose between defense and ST for the shiniest turd if you want to, but that doesn’t make Evero or our D performance in 2023 worth a shit.

[@ausdawg3165]

@@acllhes that I disagree because we seen the potential that they could have if we get better players I like evero

[@smugzsnivy1351]

We going 0-17 the next 3 seasons! Bryce the bust!! And id Rather had Frank back at this point! SMH 🤦🏻‍♂️ what has my Panthers turned into!!!! 😢

[@mabalicksbyyuo-sr7xk]

if that bum qb hands the ball off he be ok cause,bryce a bum

Being Hispanic has nothing to do with football. It's just awkward asking about it.
