Unfortunately for Carolina Panthers fans, this is nothing particularly fresh to them.
For the second time in as many offseasons and for the third in five years, the Panthers are hiring a new head coach. This time, it’s Dave Canales—who comes over after one season as the offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
So, has the 42-year-old rising star already invigorated the suffering fan base or is there still a sense of skepticism surrounding the organization’s latest move?
Let’s check out some early reactions . . .
Dan Morgan gets his guy. Hoping the Panthers can keep Ejiro Evero but it should be Dave Canales decision. Let him choose his staff.

#PantherNation how we feeling? 👀
Personally I like the way Coach Canales has a resumè of developing QBs and bringing out their talents. I’m interested on how he builds the staff. Can have a lot of promise built right. ✊🏾

Dave Canales better have A++++ intangibles because there were better (and more experienced!) OCs out there
It's early, but Canales feels like the compromise between Dave Tepper and Dan Morgan
Tepper gets his young offensive guy, but Morgan picked the one he knows personally

When your Bluetooth announces that the Carolina Panthers are about to hire Tampa Bay Offensive Coordinator Dave Canales as your new head coach. So all you can do is pull your truck over and contemplate if your football franchise will ever love you like you love them. pic.twitter.com/yg4vz1DbSk
