CHARLOTTE, N.C. (AP) — Dave Canales is ready to begin his journey as head coach of the Carolina Panthers 16 months after co-authoring a faith-based book about working through problems with his sexual infidelity, addiction to pornography and binge drinking. The book “This Marriage? The Question That Changed Everything” was written by Canales and his wife, Lizzy. It details how the 42-year-old coach has worked to overcome his problems and the couple found its way back to a healthy, Christian-based marriage. Canales wrote that with the help of counseling and family, he no longer has issues with infidelity or pornography. He said he’s stopped drinking alcohol. The Panthers said they were aware of the book before hiring Canales.
