How about Wilkes as HC and Reich as OC? 

The alternate could work also. Neither would surprise me at this stage.

I know it sucks waiting and speculating but I'm glad they're actually doing their due diligence this time around. 

Gun to my head, it's coming down to Reich or Wilks.

And after this month long process of trying to find out who the HC is, I'll be content with whoever they choose, because it will be obvious that that person has a plan/good idea for a staff in mind.  

I'd probably prefer Reich just because I want to finally break the streak of overly conservative, defensive head coaches. 

Very curious to see what happens and also to hear some of the behind the scenes rumors as to why we didn't prefer some of the other available options.

I think you have to either make Wilks the HC or cut him loose. I feel like you'd lose the locker room otherwise. 

[Mr. Scot]

So while we were talking, the team was interviewing Wilks

Agreed. Wilks as HC/Reich as OC would work, but not the other way around.

Also indicates they are going to move quickly on the 2nd round.

Reich is the more experienced and successful HC.

It would be Reich/Wilks. We definitely can have both if we play our cards right.

They both love NC, live here full or part time, so the rest should be easy.

Kaye had previously speculated that if they weren't waiting around for Shane Steichen, they could potentially wrap up their search this week.

This is an ideal scenario. But who is the DC? Holcomb? 

I have a feeling Wilks is talking to Byron Leftwich. He was his OC in Arizona. But Leftwich was kinda forced on Wilks, since he was there working under Arians before they hired Wilks. That whole staff was kinda weird.

I am only okay with that if that is who Wilks wants. I keep beating this horse but if you constantly have to force coaches on your HC, that isn't the right HC.

I just get a hard time seeing Reich do this.

though some other teams like Jets, Ravens etc are hard after him as OC.

I think if he doesn’t get a HC job this round.  He will next year.

I doubt anyone in the front office would sign off on Wentz coming here. We can certainly do better with whoever we hire.

I don’t mean Wentz coming here. I was wondering how much of Wentz’s success was Pederson and how much was Reich?

Steichen is my favorite choice but also the riskiest. I have to wonder if the team waits until after the Eagles/49ers game on Sunday to make a decision. If the Eagles lose, they might try to grab their guy. Otherwise, onto their fallback.
