Forced Mike McCoy on him per reports.

Wilks eventually fired him but the damage was done.

It was bad judgement to take that job. Ron should have helped him see that. I'm not really impressed with his decision making. Old school and short sighted, good in fundamentals bad in planning. People are putting a lot on him that he was forced into but he put himself in that situation for whatever reason.

From what I read it states he “wanted to trade up for Josh Allen, not Rosen.” That doesn’t mean he didn’t want Rosen at all, just that he preferred Allen. He did state the GM drafted Rosen, but that doesn’t mean he was against it. He also benched Rosen for Bradford who looked just as bad in his team’s offense, and benched Bradford for Glennon who also looked bad. He also fired his OC McCoy and the offense still looked bad (with Fitzgerald, Kirk, and David Johnson). When I say bad I mean one of the top 3 worst offenses in the NFL since 1986 bad…

The bad thing is he was just recently the DC for Missouri whose defense looked better this year without him…

Also our defense, witch wasn’t that good in 2016, got worse when Wilks took over in 2017. 
We had a ton of sacks but we gave up a ton of yards and points. 
Always surprised we we went to the playoffs with that defense.

I would have blamed them both like I’m do in Arizona. 

There's a pretty significant amount of evidence available that Steve Keim is a lousy GM.

There's a season and a half worth of tape out there on Steve Wilks that to this point is still inconclusive.

In order for me to want to hire somebody though, they've got a convince me of something. I can't say Wilks has done that just yet.

He still has time...

I could see Wilks being a decent NFL coach still, maybe even here. This fit just feels so awkward right now though. He’s obviously got the respect of the locker room, but that is far from the only qualification we should be looking for for this job. He’s beaten three of the very worst teams in the league. Cool! But I can’t help but think there could be more out there.

He seems insanely conservative. Never goes for it on fourth, and when our run game isn’t working he has no clue how to adjust. Sure that could be something more on the OC, but these are things as a head coach you still have to figure out some.

The biggest thing for me is we have nothing at QB. We’re probably going to draft and develop one, and I just don’t trust Wilks to build the ideal regime needed for this situation. If we had a guy in place already I’d feel way better about it.

Because Allen was “ready?” Most rookies aren’t ready year 1. He had Bradford as the vet backup.

2018 Josh Allen was not ready. There were even significant questions about him going into 2020. That was the year he became "Josh Allen".

To say the season and a half we have on Wilks is "inconclusive" is being incredibly generous. He was bad in Arizona, and this season Wilks has been blown out by Cincinnati, lost by double digits to another playoff team in Baltimore while playing unbelievably conservative to beat 3 awful teams.

Or it could just be that Josh McDaniels is a terrible coach.  Interims have a pretty poor success rate as full time coaches.  

The Raiders are on a three game winning streak and are two games back from the last wildcard in the AFC. If Wilks was on a three-game winning streak, we'd be talking about removing the interim tag and signing him to an extension.

McDaniels is going a nice job. They only got their asses kicked in 1 game at New Orleans (Adams was extremely sick for that one). Otherwise, they've been in every game. That roster isn't that great, Gruden/Mayock were horrendous, especially with their first round picks.

As far as Wilks getting the job here, he has to win out and get to the playoffs.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
