A young innovative defensive minded head coach.    Not sure where you are trying to go with this

as for young, Sean is 48    Wilks is 53 

Wilks knows what needs to be done  he knows he needs a brilliant OC and he knows that’s not his specialty but he knew enough to make the OC do what needed to be done with the team he inherited   He also knew Foreman needed touches he wasn’t getting when Rhule was here  

what I really like about him is if you are one the 53 man squad, you are going to participate and he did what needed to be done with Robbie last year 

while he was with the Cardinals, he wanted the right QBs in the draft  the GM disagreed  

the man is no dummy 

my point is simply I do not believe that every defensive coach is Ron Rivera or every offensive coach is Shanahan   
 

if these players continue to play for Wilks, he has earned that job and if Tepper is smart, he will focus on the planned improvements in detail for the next 3 years   I do not believe he did that with Rhule as hard as it to believe

Pair Wilks with an innovative OC, and let's see where we go. Wilks has been around a while. I'm sure he has a few connections to aid in his quest. Why not?

My biggest worry is that he is competent enough to be retained, we blow our chances at a franchise QB in the draft and we get Rivera 2.0 as a HC with no back to back winning seasons and years of musical chairs in the QB room until he's fired. 

 

Bring up the worst case scenario so you can fret over it. Not how I would do it. But hey, it's a free world. 

 

There is another path as well. Wilks, McAdoo and the team progress througout the year. By years end we are a feared team. Use our draft capital to draft our QB. Let the Kid and Corral duke it out. Winner winner, chicken dinnerr.

One thing i know about football is this, there are NO sure things…….lets just enjoy the moment.  Let the season play out, let’s see how he and his team finish up!  No guarantees that Wilks will be great just like theirs no guarantees on the young offensive minded coaches being great……. Just got to roll the dice!

Wilks good local guy and all, just has a rhule deal about humps as well. Plenty of guys out there are great OL/ST/DC/LB/___ and just not good head coaches. Nothing wrong with being a great DB coach.

Im fully on the Shane Steichen spaceship. 

hate on..

I think the franchise is about to sell out to draft a QB in the first round until they find one. It was so f*cking stupid to pass on Justin Fields.

Lol blow our chances at a franchise QB in the draft ..

Like a Wentz, Goff, Darnold, Mayfield, Rosen, RG3, Haskins, Mac Jones, Fields, Tre Lance, Trevor Lawrence lmao

Trevor Lawrence is 5-20

Odds are if we hire a new HC he'll be a bust, and that if we draft a QB high - he will bust

You stick with Wilks who was asst. Head Coach in this franchise most successful stretch and it is an easy decision

Even if we do well down the road and he hires a good, innovative OC, he’ll get poached by a different team for a HC opportunity.  Then he’ll have to hire someone else.  Rinse and repeat

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.

      It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
