Thank You Coach Wilks!

He earned so much respect from the players and fans this year. What a turnaround he orchestrated. 

He's one helluva coach and I'd have loved to see him stay here. I kind of hope Reich makes a DC offer to him.

Still, as much as anything, Coach Wilks reminded this franchise what the Panthers are supposed to be. He gave us back our grit.

Wilks was able to sweep up the ashes left behind by the Process in a matter of weeks.  He turned what I thought would be a 3 or 4 win season that was impossible to watch into a respectable season with some bright spots and hope along the way. 

If nothing else, he left the team in a far better situation than it was when he got his hands on it. 

He probably deserves the nickname Dirty Steve.  Just like Dirty Harry, he gets dirty job that comes along.  First Arizona, then following Rhule here.  If he is patient, he may be in Indy following Saturday after about week 11 next year.

To borrow a phrase I learned in Jamaica, “ much respect, Coach Wilks!” You brought this team back from the dead and helped us find our identity again. You gave a reason to watch and cheer for the Panthers again, and for that we are truly grateful. 
 

Best wishes for wherever your career takes you sir.

Nothing but love and respect for Wilks. He exceeded what was asked of him and rallied this Team from the trash heap that Rhule left burning behind him. He embodied Keep Pounding and made this team watchable all year. 

I hope he lands on his feet elsewhere (preferably not in the NFCS) and eventually is coaching a team.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
