Bye Bye Wilks

Playing for the season and your job and he doesn’t go for it on 4th and 1 twice. Then I hear he’s telling his players to be aggressive. Clearly not head coach material, not even sure if he should be a DC. 

He shouldn't.  He was bad at it here, he got a HC job based on the insane talent we had (same way Rivera kept his job 7 years too long and got another one).  When Wilks was our DC before the defense regressed from McDermott because Wilks calls soft bitch defense that even the talent on those mid teens Panthers teams couldn't excel in like they had before.

I like Wilks. Just want an offensive minded guy in here. I thought that's what Rhule was when he was hired. Heck maybe he was. I still have no idea what his specialty was. 

Rhules specially is BS artist. Nebraska fans have already bought in. Wilks is a good DB coach.  Not even sure he is a good DC

Wilks did a fine job and I still have plenty of concerns with David Tepper and his ownership but I don’t blame him at all for wanting a progressive offensive mind. Reality is Wilks conservatism changed that game today. I understand we were short handed but that game could have ended entirely different had we gone for those fourth and inches to prolong a couple of those drives early. There’s a chance you hire a dud obviously but sometimes you have to roll the dice. I was even kind of selling myself on Wilks because I didn’t trust us to hire anyone better but I realize now that’s a losers mentality. Go get Steichen and make an aggressive move for a young QB

Take Fitt, Ben, Sam, and Burns with you

Of those 4, surprisingly, Sam was the least of the Panthers problems this season. 

He also had his best game offensively today which against any other team, would've resulted in a win.

Unfortunately our Defense or rather -EFENSE couldn't stop a nosebleed today.


I would Jettison whomever the DC was along with Wilks.  

 

Sam, I would at least consider keeping around just as a solid backup or bridge.

    • He's handing off play calling duties to fuging Brad Idzik as well so, either that mouth breather can run the playbook and Canales can grow as an all around head coach or it will be a horrible decision and both of them and BY can screw off. I'm fine with that as long as it isn't just another excuse for BY to get another year with another coach worthy of working around his limitations as a qb. 
    • Not only for Andersen but the whole team, having not beat the Habs this season before tonite.  Shows them that they aren't jinxed.
    • I understand why people say things like it could be worse in relation to Tepper but it just doesn't jive for me. Are the optics bad? Yes. Would I want her to be the owner of my team? No. But I mean she's only been owner for a year and the Colts overall are a better run organization. As far as I know they've also never had the distinction of having the worst win percentage in all of professional sports either. Tepper has owned this team for 8 years and about the only thing that has been consistent has been the ability to continue to find different ways to achieve new lows. Even now people are saying things are different yada yada but we said these same things at certain points under Rhule Fitterer and Reich. I'm going to wait to see how the rubber meets the road this upcoming season before I make any strong conclusions about anything in relation to the longevity under this franchise going forward.
