Can Tepper find anyone better than Wilks?

Gonna be hard to fire him if this winning streak continues.

Wilks at coach and Reich at OC. 

I like a lot!!! But will Reich be available?  You know he's going to be getting HC calls. Heck, we will be one of them.

so, If we hire Wilks for the full-time gig, don't we get an additional 3rd rounder?

I think it's already hard to fire him. Hes maximized the talent on this roster

Wilks will be hard to let go if they win the division. 

I'll say this up front: he was not somebody I would have considered when The Process was canned.  But, he got thrown into this mess, and I would give him or any interim HC a pass for their first week.  He's led the same team that The Process was getting 1-4 out of to 4-2 since the Rams game.  And he did this after we traded the guy who was most of our offense.

We can talk about the quality of the opponents in that stretch, but the man has no control over who stands on the opposite sidelines.  You play who the league booked.

Are there better HC candidates out there?  I think so.  Can Tepper find them?  What worries me about that question is what has happened every time Tepper tries to swing for the fences.  Limiting it to just HC hires, he is 0 for 1 but it was a disaster.

I'm not saying they should or should not give Wilks the job, just that he has made a strong case for himself.

His OC, who he didn't hire, not so much.

Wilks as the Head Coach and Ron Rivera as the OC lol lol!!!

Run run run run or maybe punt

I honestly can’t think of anyone else I would hire. 
Maybe the Lions OC

Jim Harbaugh would ask for full control much like Rhule did

After watching (and defending) Cam against the crowd who wouldn’t give him his due because he wasn’t the elite passing QB, I think I can apply the same to Wilks. 
 

You might not have liked HOW Cam scored points but he scored as well as anyone. He moved the chains. That’s what his job was. Points. 
 

Wilks isn’t the sexy offensive genius winning games with wild offense, but he’s winning. 
 

I don’t give a poo. Just win baby. Just win. 
 

He’s making it hard to let him leave. That’s a damn good problem to have IMO.

Plenty of games left in the season. He's what, .500?

I'm not sure. But we've won 3 out of the last 4 with a roster that rhule couldn't do poo with

Oh he's much better than Rhule.

If he keeps winning, then yes, he's HC next year.  He's got these guys playing hard. 

But I'm not ready to offer him a contract until we see the rest of the season is all.

Cam was elite in his own way and he expecting him to play the game like Brees did just to placate armchair QBs was a disservice to his talent.

Yup. And you saw how some viewed him, by only referencing his passing stats, and not including his rushing when comparing him to other QB’s. 
 

They didn’t get it.

Let's see how we finish the year. Let's see how Wilkes does the rest of the way.  If we beat Pittsburgh at home his worth in Tepper's view will go way up. 4 home game wins in a row and a 3 game winning streak. It is nice to be included in the conversation in December.

Wilks is clearly a leader of men and has won the support of his players.

I can't recall the last time I saw the players on the sidelines as jazzed as they were today.

Not sure what qualities Tepper looks for in a HC but the performance outcome between Rhule and Wilks is night and day.
