Haha there are a ton of people who want wilks. It’s absolutley mind boggling. Like one of the dumbest things I’ve ever come across in my life following sports. The following he has is outrageous.

For once I just want to be a team where to beat us you dont just have to have more talent you also have to outscheme us and make better adjustments than us. Ive been a fan my whole life and feel like weve never had a coach that can steal wins beating better teams than us

It sucks when really decent good guys aren't the answer. Steve Wilks seems like a great guy. Sam Darnold seems like a great guy. But they aren't the answers.

If you want to compete for SBs you have to move on. Keep Darnold as a backup if we can, but there are no backup head coaches and with his support in the locker room you simply can't keep him on the staff. It sucks, but we have to wish him all the best and mean it and let Steve Wilks go.

Not sure why OP is getting flack… Are there really people out there that think Wilks should be the head coach moving forward?

Plenty of fans outside of this forum are screaming it. They also want to keep Darnold.....this is the only sane place i can find for fans. Smh

Lol what did you want him to do?

His best player gets traded.

He has an incomplete staff he didn't pick 

His best QB was hurt ( how many games did Wilks have without Sam?)

He eventually loses the only two Corners he has and has to sign a Barista.

He didn't pick the offensive or defensive scheme he had to use Rhules garbage. 

He didn't pick or sign any players again Rhules garbage. 

 

He was given a huge pile of schit and asked to make a gourmet meal.

He has another season as a head coach we can look at also.  Point is, he’s never proven to be a great head coach or coordinator.  The only thing going for him is that he’s from Charlotte and the players like him.  I mean that’s great but after the years we endured under Rhule and the last few years of Rivera, it’s time to change the course around here

Ben Johnson, Ken Dorsey, and Shane Steichen.

and before I hear, what have they proven? What has wilks proven? What did Nick Siriani prove before he was hired? How about Zach Taylor? Kyle Shanahan? Sean McVey? What was Doug Pedrrsons track record before wining a super bowl in Philly? 

Matt Rhule has a great track record of turning around programs too. How’d that work out?

 

Grass isn’t always greener. 
 

For the record I’m not saying we should or shouldn’t retain him but to shoulder the blame solely on him for our woes is simply asinine.

Give me Ken Dorsey all day.  Everywhere he's gone, it's been magic.  Namely his years with Cam, and now Josh Allen.  I believe Ken Dorsey is the majority reason why Buffalo is doing their thing.  People don't realize how raw Josh Allen was in his first year.  Then overnight, Dorsey made him a superstar.

I wanted him to win games that were decidedly winnable, like the ones against the Steelers and the Bucs, or at the very very least have a believable competitive showing. And I don't in any way believe that was too much to ask.

Wilks let some others get away, but I'm giving him a pass for games a little closer to the time he took over as transitions can be difficult. I'm trying to be fair and less subjective. 

Wilks though mildly surprising has also been disappointing and decidedly ordinary at the times we needed him to be extraordinary

I hate to beat a dead horse, but Harbaugh could do that.

Can't really count Arizona, he got screwed. Couldn't pick his coaches, couldn't pick his draft picks and got stuck with Rosen.

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
