It like, never works out.

Well it did once, Jeff Fisher. But that was back in the 90s. So once in the Super Bowl era is, looks at notes, a really effing low chance of success. 
Plus, and I can’t believe more people haven’t brought this up, hiring Wilks would be like hiring a college coach all over again because both college and interim HC success is very low and Tepper would be saying that he hired Wilks because he thinks he can be the one to hire the next Jeff Fisher. 
Doing literally the exact same thing he did with Rhule. 
I am hoping Tepper knows this.

Because we are still owned by the braintrust that hired Matt Rhule.

Calling to find out isn’t the issue. It’s people thinking that we would be in the running or stating Payton is saying no. It’s the saints who said no.

Well at least there seems to be some level of strategic thought and patience into this coaching search than last time. Rhule already had the job by this time in Jan 2020. Is Fitt actually in the interviews? 9 interviews seems like a decent amount contrary to Fitt saying the list would be short

Interesting note...

Wonder if he'd interview here. At the very least, it'd complete the Rooney Rule compliance. 

He's been well spoken of on here before, but post-Rhule it's tough to imagine a college coach being a popular choice.

I believe in some capacity you have to retain Wilks. You can lose a locker room by not listening to players and we've seen how that worked out. I really feel like all of these offensive coordinators will be asked during these interviews how they see Wilks as a coordinator or coach on the staff and vice versa how would they feel working on his staff

    • It should be a facto, because while he needs to perform to keep his job, you still have to build with an eye to the future. Where we will be drafting, there is a more than good chance of there being a player there at a position of more need, such as OT, LB, TE, S, or CB. With all those holes, I just don’t like the idea of taking a player who will ensure one of him, T-Mac, or Coker won’t be here 4 years from now, and we all know it won’t be T-Mac who gets jettisoned. So either believe in Coker or don’t, keep him and draft another position or draft a WR and trade him, don’t straddle the middle and hamstring us by leaving more holes while leaving us a huge problem a couple years from now.
    • Oh, now we are "top half?" Keep moving the goal posts. No we aren't. We don't have a surefire WR2, nor do we have a TE that we can count on to consistently make big plays. Our receiving corps is somewhat bland to be honest. It does not have enough juice. Add another playmaker, then we'll likely be top half. Our receiving corps ranked somewhere between 20 and 25 in the league depending upon who you look at. No one has us in the top half based upon last season.
    • It is hard to say--if you look back at our roster from 4 years ago...In addition, we have a ton of money going into our OL right now (which might strengthen the argument to draft a tackle now)  The average NFL career is under 4 years, but the average NFL career for first rounders is 9.3 years, so most get 2 contracts.   So having said that, I look at it as capital--if your concern (legit) becomes an issue, then you should have the same vision and trade that player and draft his replacement.  However, TMAC, Coker, and a rookie is not likely to be a problem for another 4 years--2030.   But to your point, we have a situation right now that the OL has 2 guards and a RT around or over 30.  The make about $70m per year.   I like the perspective of reality you bring, however.  Is that a factor to morgan in 2026?
