Can Tepper find anyone better than Wilks?

Seriously, for those who think the Panthers should still find a new HC, do you really trust Tepper making the decision?

Wilks may not be an offensive guru or genius this league loves. He's an old school, ground and pound, and strong defense kind of guy. Very much like Rivera in a way.

However, he is a leader of men. He has shown time and time again he rallies these players into believing in this team. His leadership may be the most underrated aspect of what a head coach needs to succeed, and may truly be what could make this organization great in the future.

In my opinion, it is far more likely for Tepper to botch another HC pick if he moves on from Wilks. 

I'd say: stick with Wilks, find a great OC to pair with him, and let him lead this team of men into believing.

I still think we should research and conduct interviews and ensure we make the right decision. If Wilks is the man some of us believe him to be he will have no problem with us doing our due diligence for the good of the franchise.

The Lions were able to figure it out at OC, so why cant' we?

The issue will be, if somebody takes the coordinator, can they continue that run of offense? If they drop… that’s the problem. Offensive coordinators who do well get poached by other teams.

If Wilks wins the division, he should without a doubt get a couple years to prove his worth.  Any new coach is an unknown.  Let Wilks fill out his staff in the off-season (to include a new OC).  Use the draft capital to keep adding pieces and see what happens 

And so should McAdoo because he turned a rag tag offense into a playoff one in one year.

The other side of that coin is most of these hires end up like Nathaniel Hackett or Josh McDaniels or Matt Nagy than they do Sean McVay.  Depending on how we finish this season, I'm not sure its worth giving up Wilks to roll the dice.

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
