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.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
