If McDer. leave he will take the Panthers DC

What I feared. He was very instrumental in helping Norman become the corner he is today, and Norman thinks highly of him.

This occurred to me as soon I saw they parted with their whole defensive staff.

 

Kind of makes you feel as if we should just go ahead and cut bait with McDermott and promote Wilks since McDermott is going to be gone eventually for a HC job.

 

That's a gamble though. You can't really tell if Wilks is any good and you may be able to bait him to stick around with a phony "Head Assistant" job and the aforementioned knowledge of McDermott leaving soon anyways.

wilks is one of the only coaches on the staff i truly think is any good.

Pure speculation by rapoport.

oh really?

We can block this hire if we want. Only thing we can't block is the HC. I wouldn't get too worried.

Sounds like we might be losing a few defensive staff members...

Why would he go from assistant HC here, to DC somewhere else?  Doesn't make much sense...

Because Ian Rapoport is an idiot.

Assistant HC is just a title guys.

Panthers would not block this move.

It can be argued Wilks pretty much runs Panthers' practices so there is that much.  But yeah, a lot of teams throw around the AHC title.

There's zero chance they wouldn't block it. Rivera knows at some point McD will get a HC job and Wilks is in line to replace him as DC and he was also Rivera's initial choice for DC but was blocked from being hired here then.
