I'm 39 years old so yes I knew this already. It does not mean McDermott did learn much under Rivera. But not all his coaching abilities came from him. He was under Andy Reids coaching tree. 

Andy Reid or not, the coach he cut his teeth under was Rivera. He was fired in PHI...

That's not coaching tree success, that came here in CAR and most of the talk about him getting HC considerations was after a few years here.

Had nothing to do with ''Andy Reid'' ties.

Wilks blew it in the Tampa game by punting on two 4th and 1 opportunities early in the game. With the offense rolling and a chance to stomp the Bucs into oblivion early, Wilks chickened out and played conservative. It was a game where all caution should have been thrown to the wind and all the stops pulled out. How will he coach when he has security? Probably even more conservative.

I’m not a fan of going back to John Fox/Ron Rivera conservative play bend-don’t-break defense (although often, Wilks’s defenses did break) and running the ball. It’s a new era of football where the rules heavily benefit the passing game. 

But ultimately who cares. Tepper is a horrible owner in so many ways and I’m confident whatever choice he makes, even if it’s a good decision at first, will be a failure because of he is too involved and obviously has no idea how to build a winning football team.

Wow, sounds like one of the other teams that needs a head coach would really want him.  

Pro Wilks crowd will not address this. He went .500 as the coach and lost every big game he coached in. But by god, I’m not sure we can do better. 
 

I have been and will continue to hope we get anyone but Steve Wilks.

Nah I’ve been reading this thread and there have been multiple people including myself who have given you legitimate reasons to why wilks would be an abysmal hire.

but you only respond to the posts that are calling you out or patting you on the back.

Because when you are getting one sentence dismissive posts, those aren't worth responding to either. I love debating posts with laid out arguments, but too often once any football based rebuttal is made it turns in to a name calling contest or worst. Also, Wilks wouldn't be an abysmal hire. He may not be the one you want, but abysmal is laughable.

I think it should be Wilks!! He wants to be here and the team wants him here!! It seems like a lot of Candidates are even turning down being interviewed

I know Johnson decided to stay in Detroit but who all has declined? And if we are highlighting this as a reasoning why Wilks should be the guy why would we not also assess why no one else has requested to interview him for their coaching vacancy?

It’s really the Jim Johnson tree.   Ron and McD both are part of it.

How do you win big games regularly without a ''big game'' QB. 

Name a team that wins big games regularly and consistently without one of the better QBs...

Literally we were working with some of the worst options. 

What kind of unrealistic expectations did you guys have for Baker, or Sam...?

I mean damn, he went .500 with essentially no QB, and a limited defense.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
