Dave Canales' departure doesn't spell the end for the Bucs — in fact, it could spell the beginning.
There's been a lot of talk about the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason — we've had a whole offseason of it, after all. And there's one talking point that's been repeated a bit throughout the downtime since Dave Canales was hired as the Panthers' new head coach after serving the Tampa Bay Buccaneers as an offensive coordinator in 2023.
Canales was definitely a good offensive coordinator and got the job done for the Bucs, helping them get to the Divisional Round of the NFL playoffs. But while many of Canales' play designs were fresh and effective, his playcalling in particularly could leave a lot to be desired. He was often stubborn about repeating concepts when they clearly were not working, and his situational awareness was lacking at times.
Additionally, Coen plans on allowing Baker Mayfield some more freedom with playcalling. Having plays "in the can" as the terminology goes will allow Mayfield more options at the line depending on what looks he sees. It's possible that Mayfield could get worse with this option paralysis, but the ceiling becomes infinitely higher for the offense should Mayfield be able to handle it — and there's trust from Tampa Bay's organization that he can.
