Wilks managed a C+/B-

Outside of player support, he really didn't show much in respect to game planning or in-game awareness.  I can understand players backing him up, he's a good dude, solid ring leader.  But these talking heads hyping him is really frustrating. It was nothing special, like at all.

I expect to interview Ben Johnson next week.  Maybe Harbaugh (Or we've moved on per rumors).  Reich sounds to be on the docket.  Dark horse: Shane Waldron.

Now, if we don't have a contract by Jan 17-20-ish, then I'll be thinking the target is Steichen or Demeco.

Reich is set to interview this week. So are Caldwell and Wilks.

Johnson can be hired immediately, which at least potentially gives him a leg up on Steichen, Dorsey, Ryans, maybe Waldron pending tonight's outcome.

General belief is this will be a "wide net" search so it could take a while.

All indications are Harbaugh isn't in play for us, but is for the Broncos and Colts.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
