Wilks not just a good coach...he is a very good person

[ladypanther]

This is a wonderful read. http://www.charlotteobserver.com/sports/nfl/carolina-panthers/article134788604.html

Coach has not only been nice to this young man...he has gone the extra mile....much more than most would do.  I like this guy.

When Graeber was 14, he joined nine other teenagers in a clinical trial at UCLA for enzyme replacement therapy, which received FDA approval several years later. The enzyme treatments are not a cure-all, but the weekly infusions help make the disease more manageable for Graeber.

Last summer Wilks stopped by the doctor’s office where every Thursday Graeber receives the therapy for nearly five hours through a slow-drip IV into a port in his chest.

Wilks spent about an hour with Graeber and learned a lot more about his condition and treatment.

“I just look at his situation and how much he’s persevered over the years and has really beaten the odds,” Wilks said. “Just to be able to see him and the smile on his face and just how joyous he is every day, it’s a blessing to us all.”

I see Graeber all the time when I go play ball at the Harris Y and he is always in a great mood its very infectious.

Anyone else get a Denzel Vibe from Wilks or is it just me?

wilks is gonna be an awesome defensive coordinator. I just hope we don't lose him to a head coaching job soon, b/c if the offer presents itself, wilks won't miss out on the opportunity. He's too ambitious and believes he's the best in the business, which even if he's not, confidence plays a huge role in being an effective head coach, winning the hearts of your players and staff, and eventually succeeding in the NFL.

Such a great article.  I love the character of our coaches and players.  tt's a huge reason I'm more than a casual fan...There's much more that interests me about the Panthers than just the W-L record and the play on the field on Sunday.  These are people I want to root for in LIFE, not just on the gridiron.

Coach Wilks will be moving up the ranks soon, and I can assure you our defense will remain dominant under him.

His personality and character make him all the more better. I remember watching the Training Camp series and him teaching our rooks and he just seemed like a HoF coach right there.

I can't wait for next season!

this just warms my heart
