He has a track record of helping quarterbacks like Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. Canales' hiring is seen as a positive move by the Panthers' management and ownership.

Dave Canales comes to Carolina with a reputation as a worker, an energy guy, and a problem solver. https://t.co/eOdOxjWGnF
The Panthers stayed in touch with Bryce Young's representatives throughout the search process. Last year's No. 1 pick is optimistic about Dave Canales and likes that he's young with a strong track record with QBs, per a source close to Young and his reps. https://t.co/TkbVfBbrMc
With Canales expected to land the #Panthers HC gig, interesting to note his former colleague and Seahawks assistant QB coach Kerry Joseph will coach QBs in Mobile at the Senior Bowl next week. Seahawks have an HC opening as well. https://t.co/OLrZUq6xio
I asked former Seahawks WR Bryan Walters about what expected new #Panthers HC Dave Canales does well as a coach via text message: "He's full of energy, running around at practice ... etc. And so compassionate. You can tell he genuinely cares about (you) not only as a player but…
With @JennyDell_ on @CBSSportsHQ: What Dave Canales did for Baker Mayfield and what he has to do now for Bryce Young in Carolina https://t.co/CrW4P8JnRP
One thing I thought Dave Canales did really well in Tampa: Got Baker Mayfield to play *faster.* Averaged the lowest time to throw of his career, and lowest sack rate since 2018. Will be important for Bryce Young.
Dave Canales got career years out of both Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield, is Bryce Young next? https://t.co/IfynWZ0j4k
Former Seahawk assistant going be entrusted with guiding Bryce Young. Swift climb for Canales who has been coordinator for one season. Leaves Seahawks as one of three jobs still open. https://t.co/HAczTWDsqa
Kinda love this conceptually for Carolina. Canales helped Geno and Baker resurrect their careers. Now works with Bryce Young. More importantly, only three openings left, and Washington’s top candidates (that we know of) are still available. https://t.co/DZSFzyALy3
This is awesome. I thought Canales would be a year away still, but everything I’ve read and heard and seen from him makes me believe he’s got the goods. Might not be an immediate Year 1 leap, but I like this for Carolina https://t.co/1lmMfN8Tan
