My only concern with keeping Wilks as HC…

For anyone that wants Wilks as HC, I ask ... why. Like, a serious why. What does he have that screams top rated HC? I'm glad the players like him (btw, they liked Fox, Rivera, and even Rhule to an extent) but that should barely factor into why he needs to stay.

Can he outcoach 31 other coaches, can he bring something new to the table that gives teams fits, is he cutthroat, does he have experience, does he know how to bend his coaching to the team and not his ego, will he eat/sleep Panthers 24/7, does he WANT to be here, etc. That's what makes a coach, IMHO.

If there’s a defensive coach who isn’t antiquated like Rivera, Wilks, etc I’d be fine with him. But most are. My main problem with Wilks as HC next year is that he’s not a good HC

I think that'd be DeMeco Ryans,  DC of the 49ers, former Middle Linebacker. Not sure why he's getting hyped up so much but he's on all the media lists

I wasn't aware we had a vote on who the Panthers next head coach will be. When did this happen?

Seriously though, we have no say in it so let it play out. My bet is that the list lining up to take the job will not be long and it will be comically underwhelming.

 

I have to wonder if our head coach vacancy will generate a lot of great candidates with proven NFL success as a head coach who want to come here.  Otherwise how are they an obvious upgrade just because they are offensive minded.

The problem with that is no coach worth anything is going to want a babysitter or a guy waiting to take his job if the owner fires him during the season looking over his shoulder.

Naw, I disagree if we hire a small coach worried with this scenario we picked wrong.  More so I would say Wilks deserves better.  He does but it would be nice to extend the branch and a big raise

I mean, we have no say in anything at all regarding this or any other sports team, so why talk about them at all?

I'm over seeing anymore of that kind of football. I don't think it's good enough to win and it's beyond predictable and stale.

I also don't like the idea trying of tie a new HC to Wilks at DC. Scaring off a great prospect because Wilks was part of the deal is an assbackwards way to operate. 

I hope he has put together enough work by the end of the year to get a good gig after this year, just not with us. Wilks is the kind of coach I wouldn't mind playing against twice a year. Tough but completely beatable, HC or DC.

    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
