I want to actually win in the playoffs though.

You're ignoring the point though. Whatever its problems were, it was the exact same roster that snow had when the defense was performing much better. The fact that they adjusted the defense to a basic defense relying on the front 4 to get pressure instead of scheming for the strength/weakness of our defensive roster is a clear negative to the coaching candidates, not a positive. Especially when you are considered almost entirely a defensive coach.

That never had back to back winning seasons.

I am specifically talking about a thing someone posted a week or so ago talking about most improved and units who declined the most and the Panthers defense regressed a lot in the second half of the season specifically. Most of that is tied to Snow being a superior dc to Holcombe but still. Hes tied to the hip with Wilks.

I'm talking about the Panthers this year.

Since he took over this year our defense had the biggest second half drop off in the nfl I believe.

Could definitely be a swing and a miss, I just feel like it's better than not swinging at all.

I disagree with this to an extent. Most of the best teachers/coaches of things werent very good players.

All you can do is try to learn from your mistakes and take another swing. Everyone makes mistakes, especially when they are new at something.

Lottery ticket is a bad example because it is totally random super low percentage, there is no skill or information that changes the odds. That's not true in any football situation.

Its definitely a risk and maybe its just my personality but I would still rather gamble swinging for the fence than take a safe single. Singles are all we've ever had as a franchise so to speak. Plenty of safe conservative defensive coaches. If you're asking me to pick between high floor low ceiling or low floor high ceiling, I'm always taking the ceiling

From everything I've seen he is a good dude and a fine coach, just not a really good one. I dont have any interest in another fox/rivera style coach. Average isnt good enough.

He is a top speed rushing de. I wouldnt say hes a top overall de

I could see that but then pretty much gurantee to get bounced in the first round because their strategy doesnt work against good teams.

He was always fine at running the ball. His problem is catching it and sometimes his blocking.

Tepper doesn't want Harbaugh

For a locker room who supposedly wants to keep Wilks so bad they quit before the game started.

I think it's because Rhule was so bad that only being slightly below .500 against average to bad teams seems crazy good. I think it's the measuring stick he's being compared to. An average coach seems great when they replaced a terrible one.

I feel like he led plenty of 4th quarter comebacks with his arm.

I will never understand this Jake Delhomme game manager stuff. The only thing I can think of is its younger people who look at stats and didnt watch the games. Before the elbow injury Jake was a gunslinger almost his entire time here. Our entire offense was basically run, run, play action bomb.

I feel like they should just play him, shaq, and luvu as the lbs depending on the formation. He could be a three down lb I think. He would be much better matched up as a lb in coverage vs te/rb than at safety covering deep routes against receivers. Hes already being asked to cover more than he can right now. I dont see how moving him to lb would make that worse than basically a coverage safety.

It's simple, his skillset best fits at linebacker or maybe an in the box safety but Wilks has been set on him playing coverage safety.

I will have to rewatch tape but I dont see him getting doubled much at all unless you count tight end chips. Most of the doubles we receive come on the interior that I've seen. I've seen plenty of plays where Burns gets stopped easily 1 vs 1. Once his outside speed rush gets stopped and the tackle gets their hands on him he totally stops rushing and stands straight up

Lol that's true but that's not much of a measuring stick

I like him more than Wilks but I also worry about his ability to evaluate qbs.
