that's our panthers

@ladypantherhow's this: Tepper: Wilks, we interviewed 20 candidates because we weren't sold on you. After careful consideration (and the fact that our top 3-4 choices decided to either stick with their current team or declined the position), we'd like to offer you the job. 4 year deal? Do we have a deal? Wilks: Yes!

You can put 3-4 years down on a piece of paper but it doesn't mean anything when everyone in the world knows that if Wilks is hired he's on a year by year evaluation because he already has experience failing as a HC in the NFL. I don't care if Tepper gives him a 20 year deal - it's not my money and has no effect on the allocation of the salary cap. The book is out on him. He would need to do "an incredible job" to maintain any type of job security.

Wilks isn't attracting good assistant coaches in the first place. Here's an alternative: Tepper: Wilks, I don't think we're going to hire you because you punted the ball twice at midfield on 4th and 1 in a must-win game. Wilks: Ok. Tepper: Best of luck. --- A 2 year deal is more than fair for Steve Wilks.

I don't want to go to that reality yet

We may be all in on Steichen but I have a hard time believing he is all in on us. 80% likely we end up with Wilks or Reich 15% Steichen 2.5% Payton 2.5% some other rando

Great. Absolutely Greatgreat.

Idk, just a guess but prescription drugs.

translation: Demeco Ryans will NOT circle back to interview the Panthers

Lol at Albright getting testy with some nobody on twitter.

When has he punted the football at midfield on 4th and 1 against the greatest QB of all time in a win or go home situation? twice is the answer.

Yeah, it happened like over the weekend and then the following Tue/Wed Johnson dropped. That was also around the time we were being linked to Payton pretty heavily though.

Steichen + Levis/Stroud/Young to the MOON

We’re not fortunate enough for that to happen for us. Wilks and Scott Turner coming soon.

Right. He was still pounding that drum literally seconds before the Browns swooped in and landed him.

I imagine that averages out to about 13 points per game then lol

Don't care about a locker room full of guys who haven't even been to a playoff game. 2/3 of them will be turned over in a couple years anyway if the new coach is worth his salt.

what an absolute disaster hire steve wilks will be

The way he tosses that word around infuriates me.

Yeah, so just speculation that shouldn't be taken as final.

It's ridiculous. He turns a complete deaf ear to anything other than what he wants to hear. Ben Albright has been catastrophically wrong so many times but Scot takes him as the holy gospel.

I can't imagine Fox would be heartbroken if he walked away. He's not some great TV personality.

why? he seems like a decent candidate.

Gotcha. Well my point is still valid.

If it's Wilks then we'll be in position to land him again next year and it won't require a trade.
