Im glad, we dont need Wilks as our DC, he is not good in that role. Maybe if he wants to stay as DB coach or something, but I would pass altogether. 

Yeah Wilks has everything except the actual being good at defense thing down. We gotta rank towards the highest of secondaries to get burned deep despite playing deep zone all the time. Maybe someone will finally use Chinn the right way as well

Frank Reich is a good hire. He faced adversity with the QB position after Andrew Luck did the dirty by retiring on the eve of preseason week 1. Their future looked bright before that juncture and after that it was stop gaps and some reclamation projects. Hopefully Reich gets a better deal here by getting a long term QB to work with. 

As for Wilks, I feel for the guy. He did a good job turning this team around as the interim head coach. However, did the ownership and front office believe he could put together the offensive staff to support and develop our next franchise QB? If they did, they would have hired him. They didn’t. So that suggests to me they felt Reich would be better suited to that role. 

I see racism has come up again. I don’t think race played a part here. Most interim head coaches don’t get made permanent. The last ones made permanent were Doug Marrone (Jacksonville, took over from Gus Bradley) and Mike Mularkey (Tennessee, took over from Ken Whisenhunt), and aart from one AFC championship game for Marrone, neither had long term success. So was us not hiring Wilks a surprise? Not really. The same probably would have happened for a different interim head coach from the staff.

I hope it works out but I like that we can go get the best guys now. Fingers crossed it works. QB is still the biggest thing we need, although picking the right OC/DC is very important as well.

It wouldn’t surprise me if we went after Gus Bradley to coach the defense if he’s not retained in Indy.

Exactly. Cant be a defensive minded HC when your defenses keep sucking. He blew his chance against Tampa. If he had won that game, he would be our HC.  With playoffs on the line, his defense sucked and he was also part of the reason why we lost.

If you look around the league, frank has effected the NFL somewhat. Recently too, lots of young minds. I think it was the biggest difference between him and wilks- staff. I believe you will approve of his hires, maybe one or two will be ?????? why, no not him(like Brian Baker).....

Bro, this a fact held by many. He just ran into a bad injury deal, but before.......many high IQ footbal that know, had Leonard as the best MLB in all of ball.... He was just like luke and game changing too. I hope the panthers look into a bargain trade for him.

      Yes, but those guys aren't depth guard signings, they're likely going to wait and see who has injuries or players under performing and then sign there. I also think that if Ickey really is going to be able to play at some point this year, that's where our guard depth comes from.  As if he gets to the point of being active, we'd then have 3 LT's on the roster with him, Freeling, and Walker, gotta think one of them not named Freeling gets kicked inside if needed.

      lol imagine being Hill and this is what your coach thinks about you replacing a guy giving up over 4 goals per game.

      I don't think Tyreek is a bad player to play with on the field, for sure not in the same way that Diggs is, as he's a cancer on the field with how he acts, and wouldn't take kindly to being 2nd fiddle behind T-Mac. It's that Tyreek is just a terrible person who realistically shouldn't even be in the NFL, his insane athletic ability is why his off field transgressions have been overlooked.  If he was a WR3, no team would have kept him around, it was only that he was a 1st ballot HOF level talent that kept him around. Just zero interest in having a person like that around our young WRs, that's really all it comes down to for me with him. Again, if we were true contenders this year, that changes things and I'd rather bring in the best possible players and hope it works out.  But they're trying to build something here and to do that, you need high quality people, not just great talent.
