Steve Wilks Likely to Be 'Seriously Considered' for Panthers Full-Time HC

Wilks is exactly what this team and city need. The local guy who players LOVE playing for. He's not flashy, but real. The building has been different since he took over and we don't look like a team about to roll over for a top pick. He using this season to build a winning culture after 2+ years of IDK what?

Give him a 3 year contract with at least 2 years to see what he can do. The defense is showing it can be a top 10 defense. Let's see what a year of picks and FA signing can do for the offense. 

IMO, If we don't, he could be attractive to other teams each week and the price goes up and the length of the deal goes up. #Wilksfan 

We needs another Rivera? Hell no. Wilks was a terrible coach in Arizona. He will be a terrible coach here. 
Tepper would be an idiot to make him the HC after the season is over. 
There is much better more modern coaches out there. I hope Tepper takes a look at them.

Wait so ex panthers players sticking up for his old position coach, never could’ve seen that happen. Calling Steve wilks a terrible head coach is a slap in the face to actual terrible head coaches. Sorry if my standards are higher than having my team fighting.

his resume as a head coach is garbage and shouldn’t even be given an interview.

Here's my thing

How can you possibly make sense of firing Ron Rivera but stick with Wilks full-time?  What's the difference?

Wilks is not turning this franchise around, let's be real.

Of course he's not with the team and staff Rhule built. If he does get something respectable out of this mess he deserves a serious interview for the job. Not just some Rooney rule bullshit interview.

And what has he done to this point to earn that?  We only have 6 games left.  We look just as bad now as we did with Rhule last year.  So again what are people seeing that makes them say hey lets keep Wilks?  It makes no sense to me.

I'm not saying he should be.  I'm looking for someone to take us to multiple SB championships before I'm too old to remember who I am. If Tepper thinks that's Wilks so be it. I'm hoping for the best.

All I'm saying is that this team (except the OC and QB) is playing harder than any group I've seen in years. Theres no quite in these guys dispite the ineptitude of the offense. That shows leadership, leadership that was sorely lacking in the staff before he took over. A staff he didn't assemble by the way. Given the circumstances I think he deserves a chance to make his case for the job. That's all I'm saying.

Wrong, he's the Interim Head Coach, which means that he had no say so over players and coaches/coordinators

So who is Wilks going to bring in? His coaching tree is Rivera. Please enlighten me why he's so better than top NFL coordinators?

A head coach has to lead men and give direction, an identity. An OC is suppose to design an offense and a DC the defense. His DC is doing a damn good job (his choice). Parcells lead the players, Belichick called the defense. They had decent OCs. 

How many people would have been successful in this environment? And to trade away your best player, but trade away a cancer on the team too (his choice). He changed the mindset already. The team in most games (except Cinn) were competitive. The team played hard. The team, the organization the city needs some stability. Look at Denver, bring in a top OC to coach and a top QB and where are they? It's not always a proven formula. 

I would think everyone wants a Tomlin, consistent winner, in most games, but has only one 1 championship - still good. Players love playing for him.

You said a lot and didn't answer anything my friend. I understand what their roles are. Also our defense is also ranked at the bottom of the league so I wouldn't say thats a damn good job. Yes the offense is worse but it also has less talent than the defense. Moral victories are not what you put on your resume. Wins are and we haven't had but two of those.

Sean McVay, Kyle Shanahan, Dennis Allen and Todd Bowles are all on line 2 for you.

So all Steve Wilks has to do is turn into Bill Parcells and find arguably the greatest defensive mind football has ever seen.  Okey dokey.

    • https://www.profootballnetwork.com/latest-2024-nfl-draft-rumors-eagles-wr-buzz-michael-penix-jr-soaring-titans-caplan/ Cincinnati Bengals Multiple teams interested in veteran WR Tyler Boyd told PFN that the indication that they’ve received is that he plans to make his decision on where he plans to sign for the 2024 season after the draft. The feeling is, as a source with one of the teams said, is that he wants to see what teams do in the draft before going forward. Boyd, who is clearly the top slot receiver available on the open market, was looking for at least $9 million per year at one point earlier this offseason, another source said. The veteran pass catcher signed a four-year extension in July 2019 worth $43 million ($10.75 million per season), which expired in March. Houston Texans The Houston Texans looked into the potential of acquiring veteran WR Stefon Diggs, which went down on April 3, well before then, a league source with knowledge of the situation told us. The source indicated that the team was looking into his background and potential fit with them at least three to four weeks before the trade with the Buffalo Bills was completed. That would indicate that it wasn’t just the Bills who were looking to move him. As the source explained, the Texans felt that they wanted to build on last year’s surprising success to make another run in the playoffs.   Philadelphia Eagles There’s been surprising buzz around the Philadelphia Eagles and the wide receiver position.
As a coaching source who has worked with new offensive coordinator Kellen Moore in the past told us this week, his base offense, when he has enough players at the position, is 11 personnel (1 RB, 1 TE, 3 WR). Behind the two starters at wide receiver (A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith) are two veterans on one-year deals (DeVante Parker and Parris Campbell) who have had their share of injuries over the years. Tennessee Titans Multiple league sources strongly believe LT Joe Alt, if he falls to them at No. 7 overall, will be the selection at that spot. The feeling here is that by selecting Alt, who our sources say is the “safest” left tackle for the 2024 NFL Draft, would help solidify the left side of the Titans’ offensive line with Peter Skoronski entrenched at LG. If Tennessee is able to secure Alt, that would enable the coaches to move third-year OT Nicholas Petit-Frere to RT to compete for the starting job there. Defensively, a source with knowledge of the scheme says Tennessee’s expected to run a 3-4 front with new defensive coordinator Dennard Wilson. However, his scheme has some differences from former head coach Mike Vrabel’s version of the 3-4, which has its roots from the New England Patriots. Washington Commanders With a whopping six picks available within the top 100 selections (one first, two seconds, three thirds), some teams have told us they expect the Commanders to explore the possibility of packaging some draft assets to trade up for a higher-graded player to address needs on both sides of the ball (OL, DE, CB).   Latest Buzz on Top NFL Draft Prospects Michael Penix Jr., QB, Washington There’s been a lot of talk in the scouting world lately that, despite his injury history, Michael Penix Jr. will wind up being a first-round pick. Penix, known in coaching and scouting circles as possessing the best deep arm of all the QBs projected to go off the board within the first few rounds, has shown the ability to process information well based on the game tape from the past few seasons. Some teams feel that there will be at least a few teams looking to replace their veteran signal-callers over the next few seasons and will look into either trading up from Round 2 or trading down in the first in order to select him later where he would be seen as a better value. Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas There has seemed to be a lot of buzz surrounding Adonai Mitchell in recent weeks, and as one scouting source said, it’s because of his size, speed, and talent. While he’s seen as a “late bloomer” and didn’t have huge numbers in college, Mitchell is still projected to go off the board late first/early second round due to upside and how he projects to be a starter at some point within the first few seasons at the next level.   Jalyx Hunt, EDGE, Houston Christian If you’re looking for a player who could go off the board much higher than first thought, it could be this guy. Jalyx Hunt started his collegiate football career off at Cornell as a safety but would eventually transition to edge rusher at Houston Christian due in part to a late growth spurt.
    • the Carolina Panthers will trade their 2025 1st for a 2nd round pick this year in your name Mr Scot
