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 am really sorry  that  happened to you they say to never meet your sports heroes i have friends who met  mickey mantle when they were young and he was a belligerent alcoholic at the time  ut broke their hearts  I had the opportunity to meet and spend  time with Cam Newton.     He was the polar opposite of Steve Smith and his public image.   Polite.  Honest when asked question.  You could tell the things that mattered to him and the things that  didnt. The disappointments in himself and the things that hurt him  those qualities make him quite a good interviewer too  i genuinely liked him   Im sure as young, rich, sports hero, he has not been a choir boy but there is goodness in him  the time i met him i took one of my friends with me from the west coast. She said she didn't like him and wasn’t enthusiastic about meeting him.  She left loving him   No one can say anything bad about ‘her Cam’ anymore 
    • Agree about oline. They've tried their best to improve that area. But honestly, has it looked like the most expensive oline in the NFL to you? Not just with Bryce. With Dalton's one game where they almost got the old man killed.  Also YAC shouldn't always be hitting a guy in stride while he's running full speed. Pickens killed us after the catch and those weren't all hit-in-stride plays. I remember a play in Miami when a guy caught a 5 yards curl and took it like 30-40 yards to the house. We don't have that in Carolina. Horn might be the closest thing to that but he can't get significant PT for whatever reason. If Bryce keeps trusting his receivers to make plays, I think he'll become more consistent. Seemed like he only trusted TMac. And force feeding one receiver isn't sustainable. Defenses will start to blanket him and take him out of the game. And yeah, keep taking deep shots. I hate all that dink and dunk football. Hate it. 
    • Dan Marino sucked too I guess. Washed up Elway carried by Terrell Davis was actually better than prine Elway. Lol
