All indications remain Panthers DC Steve Wilks will meet with the Giants first, likely tomorrow, sources say. Cardinals remain eager to get a crack at him and could follow, with the Colts, Bears and Lions all interested as well.

The Bears have since hired Chiefs OC Matt Nagy so they're out of the hunt.

I think our early exit increases the chances that Wilks leaves.  Teams tend to get antsy as coaches start coming off the board.  They can get impatient and not want to wait until teams go deeper into the playoffs. 

Case in point: The Bears could have waited for Shurmur, McDaniels or Patricia but instead jumped on Matt Nagy after the Chiefs were eliminated in that disappointing loss this past Saturday.

I don’t think it would be a tremendous loss when it comes to defensive performance. Not a fan of his overly agressive scheme, as it regularly left our weak secondary exposed.

That being said, he seems like a high character guy who the players love.

Honestly after watching us get worse as the season progressed and how predictable Wilks was with his blitzes and coverages I won't miss him a bit. His zone defense was awful and his unwillingness for example to use Bradbury to follow their number 1 receiver like the Saints did against Funchess meant offenses could dictate to us. I think we can do better and hopefully Wilks is a better head coach then he has been defensive coordinator. I was hoping he would be better than McDermott but he clearly wasn't.

Honestly, I would not be devastated if he left, and I believe he is a good defensive coordinator.  I just don't like his style with our personnel. 

Hopefully, we don't see Washington end up leaving with him.

Washington and Al Holcomb could be possibilities. The team could block interviews if they're under contract (unknown).

McDermott didn't take anybody with him when he left.  Don't recall him even asking to interview anyone.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By mrcompletely11 · Posted

      fuging Christ dude this isnt hard.  Like at all.  I get you simping for this poo team is your thing but sometimes you have to look at reality.   Even removing his bum knee from the equation, none of this made sense.  He is 31.  He has been paid handsomely for his service here.  He was currently under contract for this season.  Why in the holy fug did anything have to be done 2 weeks before the season started.   The people for this move, in this thread are saying A) He deserved it (this is the nfl it doesnt work like that  B) It frees up cap space (then why in the fug didnt we do this in Feb or C) You logic (We are getting a deal at 53 million guaranteed for the next 3 years.   You realize with this deal we cannot cut or trade his ass for 3 years.  You understand this right?   So in my opinion we should have let this ride into the offseason and go from there, what he is going to threaten to walk, big fuging deal he would be 32 on a chronically bad knee, what other moronic franchise is going to give him 40 million up front?  It wasnt going to happen.   And you are acting like its impossible to replace a 32 year old RT with a bum knee.  Just go and draft someone, move Icky to RT.  There are tons of options instead of extending this dude 2 weeks before the fuging season.  The truth is Morgan and the shitheads in the FO fell for this dudes crying act and got all sentimental and shelled out another ext.  We are a poverty ass franchise that doesnt act professionally

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      5 Im glad football is back but after the embarrassment that was the browns pre season game where our starting D made Sanders look like a serviceable NFL QB, I lost hope again for a successful Panthers campaign this year.  I do hope I’m wrong!
