Brian Burns on Wilks

[NAS]

When asked if Wilks should be the permanent coach he didn’t exactly give a ringing endorsement.  I was surprised he didn’t say anything positive except that he would “ roll with it”.

Proud of you Mr Burns. Sure the team’s improved a fraction but we’re still a bottom 10 side. Wilks doesn't move that needle 

[Prowler2k18]

He’s right - too early and inappropriate for him to say either way.  We’re still too inconsistent on offense and we’ve primarily dominated against weaker opponents e.g. Atlanta and Denver. I like Wilks a lot but he’s still too conservative (though that fake punt was a gutsy call). The team’s performance down the stretch will certainly be telling.

I don't know, he said he loved Wilks twice in the interview and said it wasn't his call to make. Then he played coy.

I think y'all are trying to read much more into it than what he said.

Agreed, nothing negative to see here.

You are right on with Atlanta and Denver, heck Tampa was awful when we played them (two straight losses to 1 win teams). It’s so weird to be 4-8 with our easiest schedule in years and there’s so much chest bumping on how good we are. We are 0-4 against .500 or better teams losing by 14 a game. We finally beat someone out of our division and it was a team that legitimately might be the worst team in the NFL right now.

We have some pieces to build on but we haven’t beaten anyone yet. The best team on our remaining schedule is Seattle at 6-5 and they just lost to Tampa and LV, so we’ll win some more games, but we’ve got a lot more to do. We’ve got one thing going for us, the worst division in football, but that only helps to make the playoffs not win playoff games.

Good points. Don’t get me wrong - with the exception of the Bengals’ beat down, this team has really turned it around especially defensively. I wouldn’t be too upset if Wilks takes over permanently but the offensive focus needs to be scoring points and not just field position and ball control.

I don’t know what you expect a player to say. Wasted question and time. Was he supposed to give his top 5 coaches he’d rather have or get on his knees and beg for Rhule back?

[stratocatter]

And the reporter injecting her opinion into the question was not what should be happening either.

This, Burns handled this inquiry as well as you could, while being in favor of Wilks. It seemed pretty clear.

The Huddle and the reporters think they know better than Burns. 

 We'll probably end up right about where Vegas predicted us.  The Giants and Atlanta are better than what people expected, the Bucs, Rams and Denver are worse.

It's between Houston and Denver in the Sewage Bowl being held in SewerDome in NO. Fug the Taints.

I thought Brian Burn gave a good interview by letting his out  going personality show and fielding all the questions correctly.

[Wolfcop]

Reporter digging to try to make his comment fit her narrative. Like Burns said, its too soon. 

[rippadonn]

This coaching hire should be top priority and guys who may want the job who have a .690 NFL win percentage may want to talk to the Panthers about the HC job. He was a Panther himself and a longtime Bears QB also. Before hiring Matt Rhule Vegas had Harbaugh as odds favorite. There's a reason for that. It was our best move.....and we brought in the clown.

Talk to Harbaugh.
