Nope , don't forget Wilkes right hand man - Al Holcomb

"Steve and I first came together in 2013 when I first came here to Carolina. I was a linebacker coach and we hit it off right away. Philosophically, we're in the same ballpark. How we coach the players, our attention to detail, how we prepare all of those things from a staffing standpoint, we just hit it off. Developed a great relationship inside the building and outside the building and then when he had the opportunity to go to Arizona, he kind of invited me to go with him and I took advantage of the opportunity. It's been a good journey. We've become pretty close."

No.  The main gripe I have about Wilks is even if he let's McApoo go, no legit OC is coming here.  Back to Rivera ball we go.  I'm done with that.

Wilks got a bad team to start playing like an average one. Which is impressive. But I do not think he has the best chance to take this team from an average one to a good one.

Truth is Wilkes did a great job juggling 3 different qbs and managing that room. I figure with a stud qb and good offensive coordinator he could do very well.  He has the head coach part down and can learn to be more like Riverboat and trust the offense if he has one.  I don't think we have seen his ceiling. But I also won't be sad if we pick someone else. As long as we make a good choice.

No ones knows, but I thank Wilks for giving us something to actually watch. 
 

He did well as an interim with a staff/roster that largely wasn’t his. 
 

We didn’t make the playoffs, and we won the last game when the season was already over, so people are salty. But he did well. 
 

The people shitting on Wilks are probably the same people who poo on Burns after we didn’t trade him. 
 

It’s more about other things than personally about the man himself.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
