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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
