he has won 5 games total as a head coach.  I dont give 2 shits if he is a good person, win fuging football games

I literally wrote “If Wilks pulls some upsets and the team finishes with a winning record (under his leadership, not Rhule’s 1-4 start) I will understand why they’d keep him.”

but thanks for making it obvious you read 5% of my post appreciate your contribution to this forum

There is no middle ground here. Critical thinking is not allowed.  Keep up brother.

We bitch and moan that we didn’t keep Beane around because we wanted something new that didn’t have Marty’s name attached to them.

We bitch and moan that we let McDermott not take over for Ron at some point.

Internal hires are not a bad thing. I’m sure Oakland regrets not keeping Bisaccia.

I’m not staning for Wilks but sometimes there’s more going on behind the scenes than we know (good and bad) so let’s see how this season goes before we bring out the pitch forks.

Don’t shoot the messenger 

Espn had a segment on how the league is on pace to allow the most rush yards per carry in the history of the nfl and that teams have all shifted to these pass happy offense/defenses.
 

The less talented commanders showed that if you can run the ball and play good defense you can stay in games you’re not supposed to be in. 
 

Just food for thought. I know people will say look at the past super bowl champs blah blah blah but the league has these waves of trends and I wouldnt be surprised if Semi-Foxball comes back in style.

We've talked about the cyclical nature of the NFL before.

It's just how it works.

I think Wilks biggest knock is he's a conservative old school D minded coach. Tough thing is he doesn't have a QB that has taken advantage of the solid O-line so it's hard to tell what's going on with him and McAdoo with that side of game planning. He's no doubt great in the locker room and players love him, but if he got a great OC would be concede to their play calls when the game is on the line? That's pretty much my only concern besides too much soft zone on defense. If you want a rah rah guy he's like 50000 times better than Rhule at that

I'm actually kinda concerned with his staffing.

Granted, with this group he can't be held responsible for anything other than the changes he made after Matt Rhule was fired, but his staff choices in Arizona for necessarily that great either.

Personally, I like Wilks. I think he's a good man and a good leader. It's just a matter of getting it right.

It is a huge concern. Wilks is absolutely the wrong HC hire for many reasons including his staffing.

As far as I am concered I think his coaching tree is a dead end. Nothing guarantees success with anyone we bring in but we have seen this and if they are going to hire Wilks just being Ron back for the maximum does of mediocrity. From the worst to just not good enough. Yay

You know what? I love it. I didn't think I would. I thought I would need to see more wins since he has taken over to be cool with it.  While we haven't gone on a massive winning streak  we can clearly see that the team is playing much better.  What Wilks has done that is so impressive is he has cleansed a very bad energy around the team, established an identity, and found some gems (Foreman). 

While the rage is to measure everything in computer generated metrics, analytics, and statistics.....and I get it. While that has improved to a degree, Wilks has helped heal something collectively deep and psychological for Panther fans.  For veteran Panther players and the fans Wilks being the head coach feels like the rightful king has been restored.

We had a new owner, new coach, they were trying to do away with Keep Pounding (probably Rhule).  It felt like our history was in the early phase of being white washed from history. It was creating distance between the Panthers we have loved and this new Panthers that were a different team that only shared the name.

With Wilks our past and our future has been reunited. I think you gotta give Wilks at least one year if he continues on this trajectory.

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.

      Reasonable. I mean I didn’t see a clear path to relief this season myself. As I have typed already, I think the QB FA class is more interesting next season and that draft is supposed to be stacked as well. There just weren’t many options this year.  When you have Tepper to contend with you have to tread lightly around this unless you are 100% certain and willIng to stake your job on it.   There were a couple of outings that helped Bryce a lot in terms of  thinking maybe he can do this, and if you are a supporter you are giving them a lot of weight. You are likely to think just get him some more help and he can do that every week. Which I think Tepper falls into that category.  And the playoffs, division champs, regardless of the way I see that, the supporters will also give that a lot of weight.    And the big one, the atmosphere In BOA for that WC game, Tepper had to be soiling himself over that. If you pulled Bryce out right now you had better be right and your new guy had better make the playoffs and look good doing it or you will be gone and your chance to build your old team back into respectability will be gone too.  So here we have Pickett on a one year deal, and Grier and King. I understand it.
