What Wilks needs to do to win the Job?

Keep pounding, and Finish the fight!

long time Panthers fan here and I’ve probably been on this board longer than some posters have been alive at almost 19 years? (scary thought).
 

I’ve seen seasons like this before, under Fox, and under Rivera. The Panthers after an abysmal start, pull together some wins late in the season, get the fanbases hopes up, only to fall short in the end at the very end.  It’s an unfortunate script I’ve seen several times in my time as a fan, and if Wilks wants to stay, he needs to change that script by finishing the fight. 
 

Under Ron Rivera in 2014 we had our only successfully completion of a year like this, we made the playoffs with a record of 7-8-1, that was a hell of a season and not exactly in a good way, but it was also the season that launched the Panthers into the Super Bowl the following year, because in part after that abysmal season, not just the Panthers fans, not just the coaches, but the Players themselves believed they could get through anything after that session, there is no amount of coach speak that can truly make a player believe other than living through something like that. That belief lead to the 2015 season and the most dominate team in Panthers history, and one of the most dominate teams in the last decade in the NFL. 
 

What Wilks needs to do if he wants to keep this job is separate himself from a history of raising hopes only to fall short in the end. He needs this team to keep pounding! believe in themselves and finish the fight! If he can get this team to the Playoffs, not only does he deserve the job going forward but would have completed the most epic turnarounds in team history.

keep pounding!

If we actually win a playoff game he will definitely be hired.

You can say the division sucks but the difference in how this team was playing under rhule to what we’ve looked like now is extremely noticeable outside of the Bengals game. We just aren’t built to compete with teams like that right now. Id be happy for wilks but still hesitant about the hire because this is an offensive league. The best hope would be we build something similar to what the Bills have done under McDermott.
