His 39 wins are also tied for the second most by a coach over any three-season span in league history, trailing only Andy Reid's 40 wins with the Kansas City Chiefs from 2020-22 and Mike Ditka's 40 wins with the Chicago Bears from 1985-87 (Elias).
• Led Green Bay to the playoffs last season for the fifth time in six years (tied for No. 3 in the NFL over that span), guiding the two youngest playoff teams in the NFL over the past 45 seasons in 2023 (weighted age of 25.25) and 2024 (25.72).
• In his first season leading the Packers in 2019, became the first coach in club history to guide the team to the playoffs in his debut season. Also led the largest oneyear win improvement in team history (plus-seven wins).

DAVE CANALESIn his second season as the Panthers' seventh head coach.

• Has 15 years of NFL experience, having previously spent 13 seasons with the Seattle Seahawks in various offensive roles (2010-22) and a season as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' offensive coordinator (2023).
• In his lone season as offensive coordinator in Tampa Bay, helped QB Baker Mayfield throw for 4,044 yards, and 28 TDs, completing 364 passes with a 64.3% completion rate, all of which were career bests at the time.
• As Seattle's QBs coach in 2022, helped QB Geno Smith earn his first career Pro Bowl selection and Comeback Player of the Year honors from The Associated Press, after Smith led the league in completion percentage and set career highs in completions, passing yards and passing TDs.
