Marc Ryan: Wilks Unlikely To Be Next HC. Tepper has Affinity for Demeco Ryans.

I think the rationale behind opposing a DC head coach is associating them with a conservative offense coupled with an over-reliance on a strong defense (i.e. a DC’s bread and butter). Wilks seems to fit that mold based on what we’ve seen…if Ryan can buck that stereotype and hire an innovative OC to hand the offensive reins to, then I’d be gain.

Then again, this is the DC that got diced up by Jarrett Stidham 😭

We playing the name who wasn’t successful game because that list is longer..

it’s about the make up of the team.. And this team needs experienced coaching now not a guy trying to figure it out..

Who is your list of available coaches with previous HC experience? Sean Peyton and Jim Harbaugh will want full roster control and we would have to trade for Peyton. Frank Reich would be one, but who else are you thinking of?

You named my main 2 Harbaugh and Reich.. If not getting them I’d stick with Wilkes.

As far as what Wilkes would do about his staff, and what his ideal team and its style of play looks like, we really don’t know. He has been cooking the meal with what was in the fridge, which is stocked with fresh produce that is not ripe yet, or is past the sell by date.

If Wilkes hadn’t happened I’d be all over Ryans, probably.
The youth, the experience, I really haven’t checked his resume past his playing days, but those would be obvious concerns to resolve.

I would look at the Jets under Saleh. Saleh came from that same SF DC position. He hired a Shanahan disciple to run the O (who, admittedly I had been high on earlier in the season). They drafted a rookie QB. But once Brece Hall and Vera-Tucker went down, they can't do anything on offense. They were just eliminated just like us.

They have a good D, but their O has struggled and the rookie is looking like a bust.

This.  Ryans may have his own style, and may be more aggressive, but by and large, DCs are generally the same in their approach to the game.

And again, the issue with hiring a DC and him getting a rockstar OC is if the OC is any good, he won't be here very long and you'll have to start all over again with your scheme and philosophy offensively, which is much harder to do than on the defensive side.  I'm just tired of it.  We need to dictate the game on the offensive side first.

And for those saying Ryans is different, everyone was salivating over Salah for years.  And I believe he is a great coach, but he is struggling with the same issues that every DC ruined HC had and does.  Their offense lacks direction and identity and he seems in over his head because they haven't figured that out - namely a QB and a quality OC.  He has the same connections Ryans would have.  And again, ever wonder why innovators of the defensive game like Buddy Ryan, Jim Johnson, and Dick LaBeau were never superstar HCs?  There are certain limitations inherent to the defensive background.

No thank you.

The NFL told the league years ago when they changed the rules for WRs to make it much harder on DBs this league was moving towards an offense oriented league. We need someone who's rolling with the league instead of trying to stop it. They're not making playing defense any easier. Just embrace it already.
