Wilks all the way. Who ever he brings in at OC, I am fine with. A decent draft with a couple of good FA signings and this team could ball. Next year: QB is Darnold, a 1st rd pick (develop) and Corral (lets see). He's got the team playing hard, the fans behind them, why disrupt that and roll the dice. Wilks is a class guy, even great with the media (doesn't say stupid things) and has them playing at a high level.

Being a head coach in the NFL is not about X’s and O’s. It’s about managing and having a real relationship with players, appeasing to the front office, hiring quality coaches and making the right game time decisions. The reason you see people like Shanahan and McVay have a lot of success isn’t the playbook, but their leadership qualities. They hemorrhage coaches year in and year out because quality coaches who want to learn from the best coach under their leadership. 
 

Everyone runs essentially the same playbook, it’s just a matter of how it’s taught and conceptualized. So I don’t need to hear anyone talk about whoever because of their style of offense or playcalling abilities. Look at Sirianni in Philly - he gave up coordinating duties and the offense has exploded. 
 

Let’s say we get some great offensive mind but has a limpdick personality (Adam Gase in NY, Joe Philbin in Miami, MATT RHULE) and what do you have? There’s not a play book or scheme in the world that outclasses the culture and personality of a team. 
 

With that said, it’s  become more apparent each day that Wilks deserves this job.

Shanahan, McVay and even the Mike McDaniels types are great because of their playcalling, scheme, play design.  They all are X and O offensive minds.  They are successful because they put players in position to have success and maximize their talent.  They are the polar opposite of the Ron Rivera mold.  And the difference in those coaches isn’t about being able to lead a group of men.  Ron can get guys bought in and motivated.   He just can’t maximize their talent.

Yeah, McVay was literally dissecting defenses for his QBs and telling them where to go with the ball pre-snap. He was doing everything but throwing the ball.

A well know saying goes like this. College is about Jimmy and Joe’s. Pro is about X’s and O’s.

Sean Payton recently talked about how much time he spent watching film and working on game plans every week.

Wilkes is making a strong case, but there are still 4 games left to play. All I ask is that we beat the teams we should beat and are competitive against the better teams.  If he goes 4-0 over the next four games, making him 8-4 on the season, I think he deserves a contract extension and an offseason.  If he goes 2-2 then it's up for grabs.  Their is no doubt the play is night and day difference post Rhule.

    • He has attempted 8 shootout goals in his NHL career and made 1. He is among our worst SO guys on the entire roster in terms of career stats.
    • Against Miami, the Panthers were behind by 17 in the 2nd quarter facing a 4th - 5. Young completed a 21 yard pass and they went on to score 7 on that drive. Then in the 4th, down by 4, they faced a 4th - 5 and again, he completed a 17 yard pass and they went onto score a TD for the win. He also accounted for 2 of the 3 TD's.  As I said, he got them in that mess and no doubt, Rico gets credit as well, but missing on either of those 4th down conversions hands the ball over and results in 1 or 2 less TD's giving them a loss. As you said though, that's just a small quibble. The real question is how does the FO see it?  I am guessing they see it as something to build on. I think most peope here see it as a total loss and fully expect the FO to see it that way as well. Time will tell.  
    • Kochetkov is just too streaky. TBD if Freddie is doing that too. Freddie is the more reliable goalie over his career. The Bussi kid looks like he could be a solid #2 eventually.  Just need to figure out the #1 guy. Same as almost every year. It's not talent, it's consistency and being able to step up in the playoffs.
