Again. He didn’t drafted and staff this team

he was quoted as telling snow his dline was too light for sustained success in the Nfl 

he was right 

He had his DC and wouldn’t even adjust a safety over the top of Evans pretty poor showing IMO

Did anyone here hear (or see) what he said in his Postgame presser?

If you did, then those who call him a "scapegoat" shouldn't be calling him that since he scapegoated Sam. 

It is pathetic, really. 

As a head coach, you should always point the finger to yourself and he didn't.

Coaches who throw their own QBs under the bus aren't Coaches who get hired to be Head Coaches.

What if it’s Wilks with his own staff and a different QB? 

That's not what he said. He said Wilks with Darnold back as the starter.

I'm not completely opposed with entertaining Wilks staying. But Darnold is not a long-term option at starting QB. If he's signed to backup money and is keeping the seat warm for a developing rookie, fine. But committing to Darnold long-term as the starter and I'm out. That'd be it.

You'll probably spend the majority of your time over at the Canes board, I assume.  😉

Oh I know. I was just curious if it was more Wilks or Darnold that would piss you off the most about that move. 
Wilks with Ben Johnson or Pep Hamilton plus an experienced, successful DC would be interesting.

I don’t think Wilks would roll with Darnold as the answer. He was pretty adamant about wanting to trade up and draft his QB when he was at Arizona. Also the look in his face when Darnold threw that pick and fumbled the snap was pretty telling he isn’t sold on him…

How was his look when Darnold threw those 3 Touchdowns?  🤔

I think he had the same expression. 

 

Though throwing the QB under the bus and basically blaming him solely for the loss in his presser isn't a good look but I digress..

Did he blame Darnold in the presser?  I missed that...

Rivera has made a career of it.

I'd be much more ok with Darnold coming back than Wilks.  Much easier to cut bait on a journeyman QB (at this point in his career, that's his destiny) than a new HC.

    • We could quibble about was that an answer to what I asked but I  don’t see it as being one. Look, he agreed to this Evero thing. Up front. Apparently anyway. Took the job with those conditions in place. I buy that and will work off of it.  This play calling issue isn’t the same thing. I am not in the mood to delve into Canales’ shortcomings and get out the pitchforks at the moment. I will abstain from that topic and stick to the quandary the dissenters who want to usurp his play calling power, find themselves in. As far as that goes I am still on the fence and think the play calling is Bryce centric and the play selection/playbook is affected. That does not mean I know that if the playbook was open he would be great play caller. Just that he is hampered right now.  Inserting an OC not of Canales’ approval changes the original parameters of the assumed agreement.  Unless you think Tepper placed a contractual prescription to allow Tepper to dictate that he can insert a play caller of his choosing after a time period if he is not satisfied with Canales’ work.  Which, do you really think that is in play?  I do not.    Unless it is, Canales has the option to yea or nay. As I said, it could be forced on him. But they only do that if they want him out.  And as of now his stock is up, I would have to say I don’t own any but I think it is up. He had the stadium rocking, the team in the playoffs, and has that sorry lil draft pick trending upward. Even at this very low rate.  I think he has ‘hand’ right now as they say on Seinfeld. This is something that may get play in the 2026 season, not now. IMO.     
    • Canes now have 19 losses on the year. Here is the truly alarming stat. 13 of those were multiple goal loses. 9 of those were 3 goal plus losses. This team is getting blown out more than any other year under Rod.     why?  Blue line is a total mess. It’s just no good with their combinations.  It pains me to say this, but they were mikes better with Burns and Orlov. They need Slavin so bad.  Health.  Size. The team is too small and has no physical play. Most forwards do not forecheck.  Worst under Rod.  Goalie play. Pretty average to sub par. PK is downright bad. It’s allowing a little over a goal a game. Worst under Rod.    Team will not win a playoff round under its current group of players. It’s not constructed to do so against heavy teams.      solutions.  Must get physical size by the trade deadline. Rod and Tulsky know this. That probably has to come with the 2C.  KKs size but a better scorer and meaner.  The need another physical winger.  Goalie. Either go all in on a top guy on a bad team or get average. Lastly, better defense. Need a Right shot heavy defenseman.  Yes that could mean someone’s favorite dman could sit. Looking at you Boom.    thats 3-4 new guys that must be brought in for them to have a chance at a cup.  And it’s all players that are different and better than what they have.  They have the cap. KK is gone. Add 4 mill back.    And then hope it’s jells unlike Mikko.
