    The Carolina Panthers might be coming off a dismal 2-15 season, but there is a lot of energy in the building under new head coach Dave Canales that have some feeling frisky about the team’s chances to make noise in a wide open NFC South.

    Greg Auman, NFC South reporter for FOX Sports, stopped by with the Kyle Bailey Show and talked about why the Panthers’ expectations shouldn’t nearly be as high. “ I ​ think ​ they’ll ​ be ​ better. ​ I ​ don’t ​ know ​ if ​ they’ll ​ be ​ competing ​ in ​ this ​ division ​ this ​ year. ​ ​ I ​ think ​ to ​ go ​ from ​2- ​ 15 ​ to ​ ​5-12 ​ or ​6-11 ​ isn’t ​ necessarily ​ a ​ sexy ​ jump, ​ but ​ it ​ really ​ is ​ step ​ in ​ the ​ right ​ direction. ​ I ​ think there’s ​ so ​ much ​ change ​ on ​ both ​ sides. ​ Personnel ​ on ​ defense ​ scheme ​ and ​ personnel ​ on ​ offense. ​F irst ​ year ​ head ​ coach, ​ it ​ doesn’t ​ always ​ take ​ in ​ year ​ one. ​ So ​ I ​ hope ​ that ​ it’s ​ as ​ at ​ least ​ enough ​ of ​ a ​ step ​ forward ​ where ​ there’s ​ no ​ risk ​ or ​ no ​ jeopardy ​ of ​ them ​ making ​ another ​ change. ​ They’ve kind ​ of ​ had ​ a ​ short ​ leash ​ there ​ in ​ Charlotte ​ with ​ head ​ coaches. ​ And ​ you ​ hope ​ that ​ canales, ​ knowing ​ who ​ he ​ was ​ and ​ what ​ he ​ stepped ​ into would ​ have ​ the ​ chance ​ to ​ move ​ it ​ to ​ year ​ two ​ and ​ make ​ another ​ change ​ there. ​ If ​ they ​ win ​ more ​ than ​ about ​ six ​ games ​ with ​the schedule ​ they ​ have, ​ it’s ​ going ​ to ​ be ​ a ​ really ​ good ​ story.
