Buccaneers to hire Seahawks QB coach Dave Canales as new OC

After interviewing numerous candidates, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are hiring Seahawks QB coach Dave Canales as their offensive coordinator.

The Seattle Seahawks will be losing a member of their coaching staff to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reported Wednesday night that Tampa Bay is hiring Seahawks quarterbacks coach, Dave Canales, to be the Buccaneers’ new offensive coordinator.

Canales had interviewed with Tampa Bay in person on Tuesday, the 10th candidate to do so since the Buccaneers and Byron Leftwich parted ways.

After spending the 2009 season at USC with Pete Carroll, Canales joined the Seahawks organization in 2010 as a wide receivers coach and spent eight years in the position before he was promoted to quarterbacks coach and passing game coordinator.
