Rhule: 39 games, 11 wins

Wilks: 10 games, 5 wins

Wilks also matched Rhule's best season in like 9 games lol.  It did not take much to find better than Rhule.  IF we bring Wilks full-time, he needs to have a clear vision for this offense.  Needs to get to that next level with how strong the OL appears to be.

I feel like tepper will go with Wilks as the safe choice after he was very bold and very wrong with the hire of rhule. players want wilks it seems, the team seems to at least be playing 'better' although competition is questionable, and it will be way less expensive than pulling someone like payton, demeco ryans, etc. 

I like most are okay with Wilks on a 3 year deal or so with the requirement of a new OC and the expectation that Fitterer will get us a new qb to start the year

Wilks would more than likely want to pick his next QB.  He wanted to trade up for Allen in Arizona.  I could see him wanting another big armed raw talent like AR or Levis this year.

The head start is a huge advantage for him. Hire an outside coach and at least one year is going to be spent getting acclimated and rebuilding if not two.

Or maybe it's the reverse - he needs a clear vision for the defence. We need to move away from that Rivera Cover 3 nonsense:

Question… if we want to make Wilks our next head coach and remove the interim tag, would we need to interview anyone else? 

Granted it was an article ranking the current vacancies on BleacherReport, but it said we need to interview two minority coaches for the position before we promote Wilks. Is that true?

I could understand it if we had a white interim coach, but in our case we would be promoting a minority coach. Either way it would be a token interview, something Brian Flores and among others have been complaining about in the past year.

You are right. We have to interview 2 minority candidates other than Wilkes. Makes no sense but that is the new Rooney rule.

      He is a great guy but a horrible reporter. He makes my skin crawl when I hear his name. I heard that babies cry and dogs attack him when he enters a room. Other than that he is a good dude. Now go burn in hades u sum bit.

      The job just really passed him by. He came up when basically you just needed to get three or four quotes, toss a couple of team provided stats in there, and stretch it out to column length. you got your copy in by 330, out the door by 4, then chill/shmooze the rest of the day. If you were really good you got a book deal. Every now and then you got to write an editorial. The goal of the profession was like Peter King where ostensibly you’re a beat writer for whomever but you get paid to just shoot the poo. now it’s a 24 hour job, you’ve gotta be social media savvy, the pace has increased substantially, you’re expected to produce more than ever, you gotta be able to look through bullshit etc. there’s still risk of industry capture where you just become a mouth piece. Sheena Quick is obviously shameless. I don’t think Newton ever aspired to be more than an inoffensive beat writer, but even that relatively simple role was just more than he was cut out for. its even worse when you’re covering a team that expects the Fourth Estate to act as a PR extension, or considers them on par with buying Twitter bots to promote Bryce. there were over thirty papers that covered the panthers first training camp. In that environment there’s room for boring guys like newton, and they may even be incentivized to push the boundary a little. But today that just isn’t the case and most of the guys are hanging on until retirement (person, gantt) or they’re good and gonna be matched up like Jordan. im not defending the current state of sports journalism, just saying that what counts as a meat and potatoes beat writer passed newton by. He’s retiring well past his sell by date, but that’s pretty common for his generation in general.
