Next Offensive and Defensive Coordinator

He needs to do better than anything he has connections to but I also expect a coaching crew built heavily on his connections. I would hope the OC came from outside of that but I would expect Holcomb to be his DC. I'm not sure he can put together a crew that would survive more than 2 years here regardless. Once the free pass of his interim year passes he projects as a very meh candidate who will make his players happy but I just can't see anything but mediocrity. The Holcomb as DC is a dealkiller for me personally but whatever, some people just have to learn the hard way.

Holcomb is Wilks choice. If Wilks gets the full-time job, he's not going anywhere.

I could see McAdoo sticking as a QB coach perhaps.

OC could be wide open.

I can see Wilks retaining MacAdoo if the offense produces well enough through the end of the season. Not my #1 option but wouldn’t surprise me. Sean Ryan has done a decent job as QB coach, so it wouldn’t surprise me if he’s retained, and the same goes for Campen. If there is to be a change at OC, then all of this is could be moot.

I agree on Holcomb though I would hope we’d upgrade or at least augment the rest of the defensive staff. I’d hope we’d go with more experienced position coaches on both sides specifically DB and WR coaching.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
