I keep seeing the media say that the fans want Wilks back. I don’t think that is accurate. I mean, look at the results of this poll for example. 

Wilks not willing to go for it on 4th and 1 while having nothing to lose and everything to gain?

Yeah, a coach who is that conservative isn't getting the Panthers to the promised land.

Hard pass.

I gave him a B due to the QB's he was given. But as far as a head coach goes he is another John Fox/Ron Rivera mold of head coach. The league has passed these coaches by years ago. The majority of the people who want him to be the head coach are led by emotions instead of logic because he has local roots. That doesn't make a successful head coach sorry.

Not sure how you can give the guy a B the way our defense lost the game last week…on the same damn go route 3 times. 

I think the problem is we didn’t have our top 2 CB’s. Had we doubled Evans then Godwin would have shredded us. 
 

I think they calculated the best bet to win a given situation was to hope Henderson could win a few downs without the scheme catering to him. 
 

I understand it cost us, but it might have been the only strategy we had.

I gave him a B because he’s playing with somebody else players tweaking somebody else’s system and cleaning up somebody else’s mess..

Yup. He managed a 50% win rate with someone else's garbage, even when that idiot only managed to win 20% of the time with his own system.

    • I agree.  He is solid. Another player I think is underrated and with good reason (I will explain): Monroe Freeling UGA Many have him the fifth-rated OT, but I would put him at 2 or 3.  Reason?  He played the season with an ankle issue and still kicked arse.  Here is a write-up that describes him--the injury, in my view, has him rated lower than if healthy all season. OT Monroe Freeling Georgia | 6'7" | 315 lbs Ht:6'7" Wt:315 lbs Class:JR Age:21 (25-Jul-2004) Monroe Freeling earned Second-Team All-SEC honors from league coaches for his performance during the 2025 season. Starting 12 of 13 games, he was twice named SEC Offensive Lineman of the Week after dominant showings against Auburn and Texas, notably grading out at 80 percent with zero pressures allowed against the Longhorns. During the 2025 season, he managed a nagging ankle injury suffered against Kentucky but remained a cornerstone for an offense that ranked first nationally in fourth-down conversions. As a draft prospect, he is recognized for his exceptional reach, mobility in pass protection, and "road-grading" power in the running game. While he has proven to be a reliable starter at left tackle, he also offers significant versatility having started at multiple positions along the line during the 2024 season. Here are some others I like (mostly developmental, but we have at least a year--we hope--at RT)   Your boy: The Panthers were looking at Barber at the SR Bowl practices, I believe.  Good run blocker--needs work in pass pro.  A RT candidate? Shelton would be an ideal swing OT. I really like Bowry.  Footwork is huge for a T, and we do a lot of zone blocking.  
    • We could/should re-sign BC and Nijman and draft 2.  There are 5 or 6 expected to go after round 1 that I really like.   Some are a year away, so I would give Moton an apprentice now.
    • I think (April 2025) the Panthers already gave Ickey his 5th year deal for 2026, a $17m fully guaranteed.  This, in my view, eliminates the practicality of signing a free agent, as if any ever make it to free agency anyway.  So we have a year before deciding on Ickey's next deal / future.
