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

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
