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. 

I'm not sure I agree yet that Wilkes deserves the job, but this is a well written post that makes me think about things in a new light. Well put, sir.

Making an assumption that Wilks has proven himself to have the "interim" title removed.

Others have said that The Rooney Rule requires two external minority candidates be interviewed before Wilks can officially be offered the position.

Would it be a reasonable option to solicit the NFL to suspend the Rooney Rule for Wilks?  Would hate for the Panthers to do pretend interviews with potential candidates and run into potential lawsuit issue for no reason

We'd be hiring a minority candidate. How would we be violating the Rooney Rule requiring minority candidates to be interviewed by literally HIRING a minority candidate? I get that a lot of rules can have some truly dumbass fine print involved but that one would take the cake.

Yeah, um....it would not be a violation because Tepper would "interview" Wilks before hiring him. He is an interim HC now. He would need to be officially hired as the head coach.

Just looking at how Philly's offense was built with a 2nd Round QB people scoffed at, a RB committee that's mainly Sanders with Scott & Gainwell being change of pacers, & a top tier WR group and stud TE, stud OL, I'd have to think many would be VERY intrigued at the prospect of building from our foundation.

The Athletic FS even mentioned this the other week and I really agree.

You get:

A SET, top performing OL

A Good WR group needing a possible star

A Great running game

Can cherry pick their own QB and star WR/TE 

Defense is already mostly set, could ask Wilks to stick around

 

I mean, that's such a good setup for a HC.

Agreed. The way the Panthers are finishing the year - if it continues - this will be a hot job.

  Our offense still reeks ..  As much as we liked running the ball down Seattle's throat , even when they knew it was coming ,,  you have to have more pass offense.  Of coarse having a TE and a couple of WR that can catch the ball, get separation, and even make the occasional miracle catch would help . 

Yeah I don’t think our strategy of running the ball like it is 2003 is gonna work against the Cowboys if we make the playoffs. 
Darnold is gonna have to pass more than 19 times a game. And Trevon Diggs is licking his chops.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s simple. Win and everyone in here will say the culture is good. Dear lord the amount of time spent on these posts is hysterical. We’ve seen the end of season swoons where you can tell the team had given up with many of the same leaders that took us to playoff seasons. When your OL is decimated by injuries, it’s amazing how fast culture turns. When you get on a tear like 2015, everyone’s having fun. You need the right people regardless, but they have to win.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.
