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.

      Top 10 worst qb rooms from CBS sports. Panthers number 9

      By 52Beast · Posted

      Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

      I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
