So basically....

We done this before.

Experience calling plays a MUST.

I don't really think Wilks is a dominant enough defensive coach that we can afford to wait for an inexperienced play caller to get up to speed.

I'd much rather have somebody like Reich.

There is no substitute for actual game day experience calling plays.  Reich has this.  Bring him home.

The only problem with a defensive head coach is the constant turnover of offensive coordinators and their systems.

It's difficult to find consistency unless Wilks has a strong idea of exactly what kind of offense he wants to run, and from there what type of offensive coordinator he wants to hire. It can be difficult to find consistency.

Looking back, was Joe Brady really a failure?  Our offense was more productive that it was at the beginning of the season with less talent.  Rhule micro-managing everything, leaving when Brady is working in lock step with Cam - then firing him as he is game planning was a horsepoo move.

Someone with a philosophy like Greg Roman would be perfect.  You know Wilks will hire someone as an assistant who has experience so the OC could be progressive with an old head assisting him.  Pep Hamilton would be a great choice.  Heck Brian Johnson would be pretty cool if you could pair him with an experienced OC coach like Mike Shula.

Yes he was

Please don’t do this.. Don’t fall into the same trap of hiring inexperienced ppl especially with this owner and Wilkes not establishing himself yet as a HC.. 

Also as a defensive guy handing  your offense to inexperienced coach is a recipe for disaster..

If Wilkes was a offensive guru maybe.. But as a defensive coach background you have no safe guards when this guy fugs up..

My totally not-based-on-anything guesses that I think happen if Wilks gets the gig full-time:

1. He probably only agrees to it if he can be aggressive and get the QB he wants whether by FA, trade or draft...he's already lived through Josh Rosen and knows that a 2nd season is not a guarantee. Future picks will almost certainly be traded. He is not leaning on Corral or Sam to secure his job. His role in the lawsuit probably helps his case to mortgage the future too.

2. He hires a proven leader as OC, and maybe a name we haven't heard in a while like David Shaw or Jim Caldwell. Again, following the "leader of men" model who he can turn the offense over to.

3. Players come to Charlotte who ordinarily would not have. He's clearly highly regarded by players--even those not on the team--some of which are vocal about him deserving a shot. Maybe even one quality name that meets a need like Gesicki or Engram.

4. Panther Greats get formal roles with the team--maybe also on the coaching staff. Peppers, Luke, Thomas Davis, maybe 89. At minimum, they're back in the building frequently.

5. He makes underrated moves with coaches and players to focus on making special teams much more explosive to win the field position game.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
