If Wilks doesn't win the job and our answer to that is Dan Quinn, I may choose to visit Mint St and poo my pants all through the tour.

He's a great DC, but a poo head coach with a penchant for not being able to close out games.  We don't need more of the same.

Wilks isn't even a good DC, but we know he's a crap HC.

Name a HC that would be good with a rookie Josh Rosen (that didn’t want him)? 

because that’s the only thing on Wilks’ HC resume.  He wanted to go get Josh Allen.  Ownership picked Rosen.

and I don’t even look at college.   He isn’t a college coach.  It’s like the reverse of Rhule.

Another NFL executive likened the power and influence of Drummond within the Panthers to that of beleaguered Texans executive Jack Easterby, who also doesn’t have a personnel or football operations background per se but holds considerable sway with ownership and is consulted on and included in all key matters. “It’s the same dynamic as Easterby; it just doesn’t get as much attention,” that executive said. Perhaps Wilks can string together some wins and make enough of an imprint to keep the job. “He is in a position to be in consideration for the position,” Tepper said of Wilks on Monday, saying he could get the position if he does “an incredible job.”

They gave him Josh Rosen as his QB, bro.

Rivera took the play-calling duties off him.

No thank you.

Unless the saints do a buy out or release him from his contract, no Chan he he comes to Carolina. Best to look else where

Multiple general managers suggested to me that, should Wilks not win the job, Carolina General Manager Scott Fitterer would strongly endorse Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn. Fitterer and Quinn worked together at the height of the Seahawks’ reign and share a strong relationship, and Quinn, the former head coach in Atlanta, has helped create a dominant unit in Dallas. However, those same GMs believe Quinn will have better options than Carolina.

This would be a disaster. 

So if Wilks pulled off some miracle 7-5 or 6-6 finish you wouldn’t want him?

I was talking about his year as HC in AZ.  It’s simply isn’t enough to form a real opinion given he was saddled with a rookie QB he didn’t want.   And one that we know was horrific. 

and as Mr Scott said, you got the wrong year when talking DC.   Wilks didn’t lose DC duties.   His year as DC is what lead to a HC job. 

We finished as the #7 D in 2017 with Wilks.  3rd in sacks.

this article is an aggregation of many other articles... hardly independent reporting. I guess thats what passes these days.
