Wilks won't be coach.

Dude took over a team headed for the #1 pick and turned the season around. I’m not a fan of his conservative approach but I think he could get a really good OC and DC this team could make some noise.

Don't want Wilks for HC, we would be in this 9-8, 8-9, 7-10, 10-7 cycle again.  Would love to have him back in some capacity.

I don't want Holcomb or McAdoo back at all.

I give Wilks credit for doing a good, job considering what he inherited from the Rhule administration but I am afraid the loss to the Bucs that would have won the division probably did him in.

Wilks did enough to get noticed around the league. I doubt it will be enough for Tepper however.

I think he's not a bad "head" coach. But I do not like his defensive philosophy, at least what he's shown so far. This seasons defense he gets partial demerits on only because he inherited it. But how he ran it after getting it is all on him and it's just not good.

It would have been a great story but those kinds of stories are as rare as unicorns.

Wilks did a good job and we could do far worse if we hired him.

I think you hit the nail on the head about what went on with the defense when he became HC.  It got worse.

All the stories out there that he didn't agree with Snow's defensive philosophy and he wasn't running an NFL defense are moot to me because he was named interim coach and booted Snow.  Why didn't Wilks then, along with Holcomb, start implementing what they thought was missing from our non-NFL defense?  I will give them the fact that maybe the personnel wasn't there to do everything they may have wanted, but I don't see why they didn't go ahead and pull Chinn from S and put him in at LB.  We had other safeties that could have been plugged in and it's possible Chinn makes more of an impact and the safety we put out there contributes roughly what Chinn did.
