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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
