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.

    • No one is eliminated yet.   But some are in a race to the bottom, it is too early to call that one too. Where are we headed? Are the Ravens really gonna bottom out all year? would you really say they are in that race to the bottom?  The race really hasn’t started is more my angle. 
    • Technically sure we are in the race but everyone else is too. Will there even be a real race between us and TB - because a wild card coming from the NFCS seems unlikely.  I wonder if the head dudes really believe we have a shot or are we in a developmental year. And that evaluation is sort of fluid at this early stage. 
    • I think less for the top round people, everyone knows who they are and the GMs go in person to their pro days and stuff.  And in Marty’s case  specifically he didn’t come up as a scout, he moved from the newspaper office to the NFL front office, in contrast with a guy like Gettleman who came up the scout ladder.     The sheer volume of players when you get into the 3rd day and undrafted, I’d be leaning on them for a lot of help.  I am curious about it how that really works after they submit their reports and it gets into narrowing the players down to a smaller group.
