Is it safe to assume Steve Wilks is coming back as DC next year?

Dude is definitely getting fired from Arizona. Panthers seem to have a big opening at DC after the failure of Eric Washington. Safe to assume he's coming back?

Can’t be worse than Washington. Heck, maybe Norman will get cut, we sign him and plays with Wills again, he has expressed how much he loved playing for him.

Not so sure about that. He wasn't even that great here. If we are definitely keeping Rivera he should keep running the D. Feel bad for Wilks, he's a good guy and I think he is a good leader and could be a better HC than he was DC for us. Was hired as a HC way too early and then put in a very sh*tty spot in AZ this year. Stupid to hire a HC for 1 year and then fire him at all, let alone when the GM gave him zero talent and a rookie QB who was not even close to being ready.

It's not safe to assume, but it's a possibility.  I didn't think he was all that great, but he had a pitiful secondary to work with.

A bonus would be some familiarity with out defense after 3 straight different Dc's.

But for those who want Ron fired, remember that there just aren't enough OT's to go around in this league?  I think the same is true with coaches.

Ill take him back in a heart beat.

 

Some didnt like his blitzing.  But dude got more pressure in 1 game than we did this whole season.

 

Only issue with him and his blitzes.  It left Bradberry on a island and exposed him.  You need GOOD CBs not Solid CBs for his D

      Joe Person: Panthers are NOT expected to extend Bryce Young before the 2026 season

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      But that's the point, if the locker room feels that way, then you're going to upset them by still keeping Bryce around and playing him over the Top 10 pick, as opposed to bringing in a vet to start until the rookie is ready. Again, it goes one of 3 ways... 1. Bryce plays well enough to earn an extension 2. Bryce still sucks and we draft his replacement who starts Week 1 with a new QB as his backup 3. Bryce still sucks, we draft his replacement in the 1st, but they start the season backing up a new vet QB who was brought in to be his mentor. With an OUTSIDE chance at a 4th option where Bryce plays well enough to convince the team to let him play out the 5th year option and then make a decision.  Which I can't see it happening, but there is still a non zero chance of that happening I guess. The only way we draft a QB next year and still have Bryce on the roster, is if we're taking someone in the middle rounds hoping to develop them as a long term backup to Bryce.

      I hear you. But I am not absolving Legette just because he is from my neck of the woods or anything else.  Tge comment was more about the fans uneven application of blame.  I do agree that there is a noticeable disconnect between him and the QB and that he might do better with a more polished and capable delivery man.  Abd don’t feel that they used XL right, or at least how I expected it to look.  And that could be a function of a reticent WB that shies away from that style of attack. I mean it was either him or Canales that pretty much eliminated downfield from the playbook - even while we see guys running free at times. It Could work if they commit to it.  Whoever isn’t committing.

      Lot of passion there.  Look, if Bryce plays down to the level that we feel the need to draft a QB high, you don’t think the locker room might be ready for anything that helps them win?   There are s lot of angles to this that could come into play depending on what happens this year.
