As I said, backpedal....

I don't think it was (Wilks) backpedaling, honestly. He started at the very beginning talking about how there's "Its" you can't control and you just need to go out and execute, do your job, etc

Yes, the media talking heads were speculating about the Panthers tanking early this season, but it should be obvious that Coach Wilks and the players had different ideas.  If the Panthers wanted to tank there were trades for top picks that were turned down by Carolina.  Also as already mentioned, if the Panthers wanted to tank, the best way to do that would have been to keep Rhule as HC.

Ok, now I call BS.  He very clearly was NOT refering to outside perceptions.  He listed HC changes, players losses and that the org was trying to tank it.

You should really listen to the full interview, because he opens the presser by talking about everything around the organization that was outside of player's control, what people were saying, etc etc.

Give me a link.  I'll watch it.  I posted mine, and it is clear he was referring to the org trying to tank it, not that other people thought the org was trying to tank.

I've posted the link above already.  And I linked that tweet you posted a while ago explaining it was missing the context of the earlier questions.
