See, I don't get this. IMO counting Zona against him is a little unfair. He was set up to fail. They wanted Kingsbury.

 

So all we really have to go on is what he's done here. And to make any definitive statements now seems a tad disingenuous. 

 

He has a team with limitations. Maybe he is coaching that way to mitigate mistakes?

 

There is a possibility that given a well-rounded team, with a competent OC, that he may coach in a different manner.

 

If he is here next year. I hope he is given a QB, and a competent OC. IMO, that would be a team to reckon with.

I may be misremembering but when Wilks took over the defensive coordinator position during Ron's reign the defense took a huge step backwards didn't it?  I mean if you are in over your head in your specialty why would you make a good head coach?

Wilks Defense was good enough to get him a HC gig. So if you are saying he didn't deserve that, then you have to admit he was pretty much a Rooney hire, and set up to fail. Because he was pretty much underqualified to be a HC at that time.

 

At this time. He has a young team believing in itself. With a ragtag team of QBs, and an OC who just doesn't seem to get it.

 

I'm not saying I specifically want Wilks. But he wouldn't be the worst hire we . could make.

You are correct. Lots of fans were happy to see him go to Arizona after seeing the giant step back the D took going from McD to Wilks. When he was under consideration for that gig it was kind of a running joke about Arizona taking someone that wasn't qualified to do his current job let alone a promotion.

If this team can't find a better candidate than Wilks I'm seriously considering my fandom of this team and just selling out to fantasy football. I'm just so over poor HCs and mediocrity that comes with it. Wilks would just be another failure for tepper. Albeit a much cheaper one.

Wilks is an ordinary coach nothing special HC needs to be treated like QBs were not gonna win poo until we find an elite one 

He's not even ordinary. He's not qualified. He hasn't even been a DC for more than a year and HC talk about him just shows how bad Tepper is as an owner. He's the equivalent of Mike Singletary or Jim Tomsula.

I fear Tepper will go with a ‘safe’ option to avoid another embarrassment.

This. And as much as I would like to see us bring in a consultant to help with this process I just don't see Tepper letting anyone tell him who he should hire. Guess all we can do is hope for the best.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
