REPORT: Panthers expected to interview 'offensive gurus' for HC position

As reported by NFL Network insiders Ian Rapoport and Tom Pelissero on Sunday morning, the Panthers—even after what Wilks has done—still plan on engaging in a “full” search for their next head coach. And this time around, they may have a type.

“The turnaround has positioned Wilks, 53, as a strong candidate for the full-time job,” the report notes. “He’s well-regarded and liked within the building. However, Carolina still intends to go through a full search process that also includes other in-demand candidates. Owner David Tepper’s top priorities have been solidifying the quarterback position and the offense, so expect the Panthers to interview all of the rising offensive gurus. If Wilks is going to get the job, he’ll need to sell his plan for that side of the ball, too. Tepper also respects Wilks’ leadership traits, which is a huge part of the job.”

the Panthers have to interview at least two minority candidates from outside the building to satisfy the Rooney Rule conditions, so might as well make it a proper search. my question is what kind of demand there will be for Steve Wilks around the league after the job he's done down the stretch. might not be a "hold on Steve let us interview these people and then circle back" situation at all.

It would be a bit short sighted if they didnt do this.  Give Wilks the first go at it and let him offer his plan for moving forward and then do the interviews

Would love to be a fly on the wall during that interview. 
Wilks has to know that Tepper wants a team that has a really good offense. 
Also making your HC be a former OC has its advantages. 
Wondering if he is only conservative because he has to be or will he be conservative with his own team.

Steve Wilks will be a head coach in the NFL in 2023. I just hope it's here in Carolina. There is no one I want more to lead this team. Tepper came from the Steelers. That franchise has history, culture, and stability. Wilks is part of our history and culture, and he's brought stability to this team. He's instilled identity and accountability. Win this game today and Wilks will break Rhules season win record. What Wilks has done as interim is incredible. He is getting it done with a Ben Mcadoo offense. Thats crazy.

If he wins the next 2 then the interviewing process will be a sham as Wilks will assuredly get the job.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
