The Wilks Watch

Because "family"

Washington legitimately has a good rep.  So does Al Holcomb.

Knowing Rivera's preference for pressure over coverage, he might be more inclined to take a DL or LB coach this time rather than a DB coach like Wilks or McDermott.

If we had to backfill for Washington, our old buddy Mike Trgovac is looking for work (I know some folks will cringe at that name).

Bad part is...Rivera might have a hard time hiring anyone until the new owner is in place. what coach would want to come into an uncertain situation.

An unemployed one.

If we get anybody from outside, it'll likely be someone who's been fired as opposed to someone looking to advance.

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. 

Yeah and he was supposed to be a DB guy. 

[Mr. Scot]

General consensus is that Wilks may have a head coaching job by the end of the week.
