What might a Steve Wilks staff look like?

Ron’s made a lot of money. He’ll retire.

That's a genuine possibility.

It's also true though that a lot of former head coaches like to step back and take lesser, low pressure jobs in the latter part of their careers.

I could see Rivera doing that as well, especially to help out an old friend.

And heaven knows he enjoyed living in Charlotte.

(the city actually liked him and Mrs Riv pretty well too)

I really don't want Ron Rivera 2.0 and those staff hires scream that.

Yikes is the nicest thing I can say to that.

We need new blood from new coaching tree options. Not Quinn or Wilks level staffs.

It just seems like there's quite a few...umm...relics on that list.

Got curious and decided to look it up...

Kitchens - 47

Chudzinski - 54

Scott Turner - 40

Cam Turner - 35

Zampese - 55

Wilson - 61

Nixon - 47

Proehl - 54

Henry - 50

Campen - 58

Kugler - couldn't find it but he ain't 65

Holcomb - 51

Mills III - 44

Rivera - 60

Pagano - 55

Walker - 61

Dishman - 57

Tabor - 51

For the record, Pasqualoni is 73.

The only other guy who'd be in that range is pass rush specialist Don Johnson. Couldn't find his age but he's been coaching since 1977.

I didn't think of it till too late but there's another name I probably should have included among the potential secondary coaches.

Former Panthers safety Mike Mitchell is currently an assistant Defensive Backs Coach with the Colts.

Lol...this may not be a popular opinion but Mitchell is most definitely in my top 5 all time.. Panther SS. I watched a lot offensive players develop alligator arms in his short stint here. Penalty machine but a true tone setter. 

Idunno how he'd convert as a coach but I could easily imagine the tempo he'd use lol. 

Side note: The staff listed in the OP is actually realistic imo and also lightyears ahead of what our former head coach put together. It only gets worse when you realize he probably had almost every resource avialable at his disposal...smdh.. All we need is competence at this point. + "just an average" QB and OC and we're 3-1 at the worse.

@Mr. Scot, can you pick one Steve Wilks perma-coach thread and just stick with that one?

Pretty sure this is the only "Steve Wilks perma-coach" thread I've started.

I would like to see an OC that has had his moments as a head coach and realizes his forte is OC and not HC.  This would hopefully keep him from moving on.  I know many like to think they are HC material but maybe we could find one who won't move on after one or two good seasons.

That's potentially Kitchens or Chudzinski.

What would make him a better coach in Carolina than Arizona? 

[GOAT]

this makes me sick, not happening.

[Shocker]

LOL…Mr Scott…great post but this constant plugging of Rob Chudzinski makes me question your thought process.

Experience, roster, ownership, GM?????
