The Carolina Panthers were looking for an offensive-minded coach to help turn quarterback Bryce Young's career around and believe they found the solution in Tampa Bay Buccaneers offensive coordinator Dave Canales.

The team plans to hire Canales, 42, as their seventh head coach, league sources told ESPN on Thursday.

Details on the contract have yet to be finalized, according to a league source familiar with negotiations who assured the deal would get done.

The Panthers locked on Canales less than 24 hours after Wednesday's in-person interview with owner David Tepper, general manager Dan Morgan and others on the search committee.
