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.

      I've just seen enough highly touted prospects who pretty much everyone was high on end up busting to assume anything.

      Maybe, but a player can also bust for a lot of reasons.  And I'm not about to go look up the stats of all the 1st round WR busts, but I'd be surprised if they had the sustained output and success in college that T-Mac had.  Those early WR busts are usually guys who had one breakout season and then were highly drafted because of physical potential, not already built out ability. I'm not even saying T-Mac is 100% going to have a better career than Chark (although I obviously think he will). I'm just saying that right now, his skill level and ability is better than Chark's ever was, and I don't understand how anyone is arguing against that, not because of T-Mac, but because of who Chark himself was.   If you want to take the argument that you can't say ANY player who hasn't played a down yet can't be considered better than someone who has, then so be it (even though I'd say that's a dumb stance anyways). At his peak ability, Chark was more like a #3 WR than anything else, he was the definition of a league average WR.  If you don't think a Top 10 selected WR with his tape is better than that just because they haven't played in the NFL yet, then you're just stuck on the "he hasn't played a down yet" idea and can't evaluate them as players and abilities.

      And you would've probably said the same thing about a lot of highly drafted WRs who busted.
