Another thing I was just reminded of. Reich is probably the best HC in the NFC South right off the bat. Who he gets for OC and DC is obviously huge, but aside from not knowing who our QB is there should be no excuses to not expect to be in play off contention. Also what Brady decides to do is somewhat of a factor but he's obviously on the decline. Now that we got the vet offensive guy I'm open to trying to get Stroud, he showed an extra dimension to his game vs Georgia that he had kept bottled up all year.

I find it interesting that so few people bring up what Steve Wilks inherited. He went 6-6 without any coaches of his choosing. The style of play that Wilks was criticized for was not just a product of a defensive coach's view of offense, but it was a reflection of the offensive talent on the Panthers. One proven wide receiver, a QB carousel, no CMC, and a conservative OC. The fact that he won 6 games with the limited offensive talent is a testimony to doing more with less.  I would have loved to see what Coach Wilks could have done if he had the opportunity to bring in his own staff.  I would love to have seen who he would have reached out to and hired as his OC and QB coach and to have a chance to help shape the roster. As for the two games some posters mentioned that sealed Coach Wilks fate, the Pittsburgh game was a "head scratcher".  However, Kansas City losing to Indy was a "head scratcher", Jacksonville beating Dallas at the time was a "head scratcher". It happens to best of teams and is more prone to happen to teams with a low margin of error, like the Panthers.  Remember, the Panthers were leading 20-10 in the 4th quarter at Tampa Bay, before Tom Brady went "Tom Brady" and hooked up with Mike Evans for critical touchdowns.  How many times has Brady done that to better teams than the Panthers?  Also, no Jaycee Horn or Dante Jackson and corners being manned by C. J. Henderson, Keith Taylor, a recently signed and much older Josh Norman and practice squad promotions.  Also, what about multiple Sam Darnold turnovers?  Didn't they also play a role in the defeat? I agree that Coach Wilks will be alright, but he did get a raw deal.  I really wonder even if he had won the NFC South, if he would have suffered the same fate.  One more thing, Eric Beineimy not even interviewed is a joke.  I hope Coach Wilks and the other coaches that filed the lawsuit against the NFL get a multi-million dollar settlement.  It is apparent that black coaches are held to a higher standard, given fewer opportunities, and given less time to prove themselves.  

Please explain your thoughts on why Wilks didn’t receive a single HC interview with any other team than the Panthers. Guys like Ryans, Mayo, the Broncos DC all were interviewed elsewhere. Why not Wilks?

I can tell ya, it ain’t gonna work unless Cam comes through that door. This dude is trash 

Awww poor Wilks fan is mad that his butt buddy didn't get the job.

It's ok, just close your eyes when Reich goes for it on 4th and 1 at Midfield instead of punting, I know it will be very traumatizing for you otherwise.

Oh my god take the L. Wilks is an assistant coach. Who was pursued by no one else. We are done with mediocrity here, f the Rivera era.

pulling poo out of his ass. He wont be able to asnswer but here is the piece that will make his argument exactly what it is... bullshit.  Reich was the originator of the Mesh concept you see run by many young OCs today. 
 

 

Perfectly fine to like this hire.  But Reich is in no way, shape, or form the originator of the mesh concept.

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      Then don't tune in. It's really not a hard concept to understand, if your making your decision based on your own personal needs/feelings as opposed to what is best for the future of the franchise, then it's a you problem, not a Panthers problem. When the season is already lost, every fan should be rooting for the same thing.  The team plays hard until the final whistle of the season and keeps improving as a team and individually, but in the end, we still come up short and lose games, and preferably because the other team beat us, not because we screwed up and found a way to lose due to our own fault. Look at it this way... If we are up 1 or 2 points with 3 seconds left in the game and the other team is lining up for a FG.  Beyond the joy of victory or the disappointment of defeat, what impact does the other team making or missing the FG have on our team the following season? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING Except where we draft and what teams we play due to our finish in the division. The players and coaches on the team would have the exact same level of improvement and learnings about themselves individually and as a team whether the FG is made or missed.  The ONLY difference in the end is the record in the standings and if the win or loss number changes. If you want to argue if making the playoffs to lose in the first round or just missing them is better or worse, that's totally fair and I can at least understand the other side of it.  But in what is already a lost season, if you're not hoping your team plays well but ends up losing, then you're cutting off your nose to spite your face.  You're hoping for a moment of happiness at the detriment of the franchise's future, and in turn, you're basically then happy for a moment to only set yourself up for future further disappointment.

      If we’re eliminated I want the wins more.   The season is already a disappointment and if I’m not pulling for wins why bother to tune in?

      Two things terribly wrong with this post. First is that not one time has myself or anyone else agreeing with me said that the team themselves should think that way or try and lose for positioning.  Never once have I suggested the team should purposefully lose games, ever.  I honestly can't understand why people keep saying this in posts, not one fan has ever said the players should or would purposefully try to lose. And second, is yes, that has happened and it's happened very recently.  The 2020 Bengals were 4-11-1 and then were playing in the SB the very next season.   And while it might have been 2 years later and they didn't quite get to the SB, the 2021 Lions were 3-13-1 and then the 2023 Lions were up 24-7 at halftime of the NFC Championship game. The season between those two? They finished 9-8 and only just missed the playoffs. Which is why I keep trying to compare us to the Lions in where we are at in our re-build.  Throw out Bryce's rookie year with the Reich staff who just didn't work out and he looked god awful.   This past season when we were 5-12 in Canales' 1st season is that 2021 season for the Lions and their 1st season under Campbell.  This year is their 2022 where they grew a ton and Campbell's culture building was clear, where I'm saying we'd likely be better off in the long run if we go 8-9 or 9-8 and just miss out on the playoffs (which is still a significant improvement from last year).  Then our 2026 is their 2024 when we have a chance to be a real contender after adding a few more pieces and our key players having another year of experience under their belts.
