I’ve said it several times, people need to be careful what they wish for. These young coordinators aren’t ready to be HC and the learning curve is insane. He should stay in Philly in my opinion.  

on the flip side of that is byron leftwich, who may never get another shot. you need to strike while you are hot.

Again, love Wilks as a man and a person from all that I know, and I do think he's an incredible leader of men and deserves to be a HC somewhere in the league...  but I do NOT want it to be here after what games like Tampa and LA Rams exposed.

If we went through this whole process and come back with Wilks as the hire, I just don't know if I can invest any more time or energy into this poo.  It is not going to end well and we're gonna a be spinning our wheels for another decade.  Why can't we ever just make the right decisions and stay on the path to success for a sustained period of time?

Wilks with an offensive staff that can develop a QB wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. Honestly I feel like hiring Sean Payton is the worst decision this franchise could make. The HC choices are better this go around than in 2020.

I agree, but I also think he should have to change his DC as well.

Can't imagine anyone would dislike inheriting Campen or Tabor, not sure what other possibilities there would be aside from maybe Tepper wanting to keep Wilks on staff. I like Josina but some tweets are a little broad and ambiguous

 

This feels like the Broncos wanting to keep Evro and Texans wanting to keep Pep

I will say this has been an incredibly quiet search by the Panthers. Only real "leak" was that Tepper/the team was excited by Ben Johnson and he may have been the frontrunner if he hadn't pulled out. Besides that, been crickets.

Leaking news like that is dangerous and should be prevented.  Coaches have egos.  Nobody wants to be the second choice, I would think.  That could be why others did not agree to be interviewed here.

They let it be known that they liked Johnson.  Bad idea

They let it be known that they were looking for an offensive-minded coach.  Bad idea, when you have interviewed defensive-minded coaches.

I can’t think of anything that would deflate this fanbase faster than going through this hiring cycle with an emphasis on progression and revitalization and a commitment to joining the current NFL only to end up with Steve Wilks back as head coach to lead the panthers to ~.500 over the next three seasons 

i think I’d just be done. It wouldn’t even be a protest thing. I simply could not work up the enthusiasm to to watch this milquetoast    blandmobile chug ahead again with the same formula that has perpetually failed to yield them back to back winning seasons

I didn’t watch a down of panthers football between the ravens and final Saints game last season, it wasn’t intentional, I just had no desire to watch that ballclub. So the template is already there. Idk how many times this team try to do it the same way with the same insufficient results and still talk themselves into plodding ahead.

”but Wilks says he has a plan!”

Lol

A lot of people would feel the same way. Even the Wilks fans who think that real life is a Disney Channel movie where the team just needs to 'believe' and then they win the big game would bounce fast.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
