Is there still a case for Wilks?

Hell no.  Ellis has been a Wilks fanboi for some time now.  Wilks just showed today exactly what many of us have been saying all along, seems like a good dude over all, good motivator, shitty conservative HC.  (What a familiar description of a Panthers HC...)  He's not even a good DC.  He's a decent secondary coach, where a DC's scheme can overrule his ideas for what kind of cushion DBs should be giving WRs.

Steve Wilks most certainly provides the kind of strong, high character leadership that you want in your organization.

I don't think he'll get the head coaching job, but I'd still love to have him be part of the staff.

Don't really think that'll happen either, but it's possible..

With all the names popping up this cycle there really isn't one that I could see Wilks staying on staff with in a assistant HC role/D personnel...only name I see is Dorsey and even that is meh...maybe Reich?

I don't think so. He's a defensive guy and the defense actually got worse.

Probably the most important factor in all of this. 
 

It was also do or die and he lets two guys combine for over 300 yards receiving.

Wilks and Shane Steichen were on staff together for a year in San Diego and have some common acquaintances between them.

Whether or not that would be anything meaningful? Unknown.

The division is lost, but if we come out next Sunday and beat the piss out of the Saints (Like 44-10 type game) to end the year I could see Tepper giving him a shot, plus he has all the locker room support and former player support. 
 

However, I think Tepper will see him as a watered down Ron Rivera and will go get his guy. I don’t think “his guy” is going to be who everyone else is thinking. I think he’s going to get a former HC. (Quinn, Reich, Harbaugh, etc)

Here’s my thing: if our division weren’t HISTORICALLY bad, would he be getting anywhere close to as much hype for the head coaching job?

So much has been made about how he “rallied the team to get into the playoff picture!” And that’s true! But we were only in said picture because we’re playing in one of the worst divisions in NFL history.

Like, let’s say one of our division counterparts coasted to the division crown with an 11-12 win season, meaning we were never in the hunt. Is Wilks still a serious candidate for finishing 5-6 even though we’re never in the playoff picture?

Quinn wouldn't be my choice either, but I wouldn't go that far. I'd at least wait to see what kind of offensive staff he built.

From the stuff we've been reading lately though, I don't think it's gonna be a defensive coach.

(which I'm fine with)

I like Ellis but his Wilks parading has been beyond annoying. So much so I stopped following his Twitter account. 
Ellis really wants us to go back to a conservative, old fashioned Foxball way of running this team where we make the playoffs, maybe, every 2 or 3 years. 
I want sustainability and coaches like Wilks will NOT give us that.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
