It time for a culture change

I’m a big fan of Steve Wilks and I know he has the locker room and fans right now. But I don’t think his style of football will win the Panthers a Super Bowl. That last game against the saints was almost unwatchable. I think Sam Darnold had like 43 yds total yds passing. If we are going to be a defense only and just run the football team , we will never win a championship in todays NFL. That’s why I want a offensive minded head coach. Somebody like Shane Steichen, Ken Dorsey, Ben Johnson. Hell even Jim Harbaugh. I’m tired of watching John Fox /Ron Rivera style of football.

Every new HC candidate is a roll of the dice.

You need a guy who is smart, a leader, and adaptable. I don't care who they hire as long as they check all those boxes. Unfortunately we as fans aren't in the interviews so we don't know who among the candidates checks all those boxes.

Wilks to me is 100% a leader and a smart dude. I have my reservations about how adaptable he is which is why I feel like he is just Rivera 2.0. 

Yeah with Wilks we already have a good idea of what his ceiling is. If that's all we're after we could have just kept Ron Rivera. But it's a different league now. With the changes in the division we need a head coach that can get our offense firing on all cylinders. No more worst in league history offensive performances. The Saints game made it clear what must be done.

Has there ever been two head coaches for one team?

Can we keep Wilkes, and then hire the Eagles guy and have them work as a partnership? Two head coaches working together. It’s so crazy it might just work. 

Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson are the closest thing. McVay did have Wade Phillips.

If the goal is to hire a HC, Wilkes check the boxes.  The question is whether we ran because we didn't have a qb or whether he prefers to run all the time. Second, why do we assume that we can't find an OC without hiring one as head coach.  Or that these OCs with. no head coach experience will come in and not take w or 3 years to learn how to be a head coach like Rivera.

This was the same rallying cry that brought us Matt Rhule. 

Rhule wasn't an offensive minded coach with NFL coordinator experience though. There were red flags when the news broke that we were hot for him like his record against ranked teams.

    • No one's saying LaMelo has no blame we're responding to you acting like he's the reason they lost. The scapegoating and blaming the teams woes on his personality is where it's like Cam Newton all over again. It was a failure on multiple fronts and primarily Lee's. Dude said ON AIR pregame that they had to protect the paint and if that was his gameplan going in he couldn't have botched it more. As the commentators said Ball's a rhythm guy and Orlando was preventing him for getting any kind of flow going. I'm a normie watching on TV and said they needed to bait them into fouling to combat that. They didn't even try until the 2nd half when it was too late. I think it's fair to expect the star to overcome whatever but LaMelo was not the problem in that game and he's not what is holding the team back. He's the only reason they're flirting with being a great team. I kinda put the center play on Lee too. Moose is great until he's up against a big who can body him. We've always known that and that's what Kalkbrenner is for. I don't know if it would have changed much but Kalkbrenner should have had more minutes than him.  And moving forward with the center position, I just think it's the time to trade Diabate while his stock's high and that's not an indictment of his game. He's like an evolved combination of Biyombo and PJ. He's a great rim protector and the strength issue is just what you're going to have to deal with if you want that. But Kalkbrenner is perfectly capable of protecting the rim and we gotta get away from the undersized centers or it'll always be a problem for us.
    • Honestly its why that Jalen Coker grab was a big deal.  I'd been warming up to the idea of a sadiq pick and was adamantly against a receiver...but this altered my train of thought.  I mean For instance, Cade Otton signed for 3 yr 30 mil contract...thats not dramatically different than the rookie payscale for #19 (4 year 20 mil with 5th year option), however you KNOW otton is decent...no clue if Sadiq will be anything.
