The Tampa Bay Buccaneers will have to start over in the 2023 NFL season. The NFC South squad has hired Dave Canales for the offensive coordinator job, but he has made an intriguing revelation of his career that has scared most of their fans.
The upcoming season will be a huge challenge for the Buccaneers. Tom Brady's retirement had a major impact on their whole scenario and they also changed their offensive coordinator by signing Dave Canales.
Todd Bowles, Buccaneers' head coach, gave him the opportunity and brought him from Seattle this year. However, there's an intriguing aspect of Canales that may not be the best for Tampa Bay's interests.
Buccaneers OC Dave Canales reveals an intriguing aspect of his coaching career
Dave Canales will be in charge of the Buccaneers offense in 2023. He worked with the Seattle Seahawks for over a decade, but never as an offensive coordinator.
This will be the first time Canales works as offensive coordinator in the NFL. His last experience in this job was in 2004 when he did it for Carson High School for a season, so he has never called plays in the college or professional ranks, which he'll now do with the Bucs.
"I called plays way, way back," Canales said Wednesday. "I was a head JV coach in 2004-05. That was really fun. I didn't answer to anybody, so we did all kinds of fun stuff. I didn't have a head coach knocking on my door saying, 'Hey, I don't think that's something we are going to do.' Anyway, that's way back then.
"I'll touch on that because that was a concern that came up in both interviews with Baltimore and with Todd (Bowles) and (Buccaneers general manager) Jason (Licht). I really respect the play-calling position. I respect how hard it is."
