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.

      It is simply a team that is unable to beat the teams they should beat. If they do that, no convoluted tiebreaker needed, and a justifiable winning record.  Team was 8-10 on the year and showed progress. But let’s not get carried away and throw a parade because of some fluke tiebreaker result.  We finished 1-3 coming out of a bye and 3 of those were ‘must win’ games. Only Seattle was not a must win. So we finished 1-2 in must win games and backed into the playoffs due to a fluke.  Generally speaking most teams drop a couple they shouldn’t and win a couple they shouldn’t. And that is what happened with our 2 wins over playoff teams. We stole a couple.    it was good that we did that, but a true good team does not get swept by the Saints, with a QB making only his second start in that first game.     That is what losing teams do. I have seen enough losing teams to know that.    Aside from that, I understand the thought that we have arrived and now we should expect to win every week. But I don’t really agree that we are there yet. I understand the FO and coaching staff need to take that posture around the players, but I am worried if they really believe that and start making moves based off of thinking our window is open NOW. .   I think one more season of acting as if we are building and the window is yet to open, would serve us better.  You know, afraid we are gonna start doing ‘win now’ moves and undermine the build.    We are really set up to take a step back now, with this harder schedule, with the unexpected Icky injury, and still with a lot of holes.

      Unless it’s cheap. He is only 2 years from 100 point season and plays 200 feet.
