Thank You Coach Wilks!

[glenwo2]

anyone that can find a way to make Sam Darnold "effective" (in any way, shape or form), deserves Massive Kudos.

Looks like Wilks’ legal team has things to say publicly to the Panthers organization because he did not get the job. The discrimination lawsuit just got more ammo.

At least his players like and respect him, the guy (Flores) he followed is not at all missed by the players in Miami.

Would not be surprised to see him sue us. I did not get the job so racism. Thanks for the no. 9 pick.  

And then the lawsuit gets tossed out when they ask him why he lost to Mitch Trubisky at home in essentially a win or game home game

I understand there is a problem in the league. I believe racism does exist in the NFL. However, Tepper let it be known that he wanted to move towards an Offensive guy. Wilks absolutely deserved the job, but at the end of the day the owner chose the direction he wanted to go.

 I mean I can't say they're wrong but one could believe if Wilks was white and Reich was black...do you really think that would've matter....hmmmm

Black QB who was a backup (ok he threw the first TD) for Carolina back in the day...fast forward.... got fired mid season and replaced by a coach with no experience.

vs

White DC (born n raised in charlotte ) never got a fair shot in AZ, but got a chance to rally his team (after losing his BEST OFFENSE WEAPON) to the brink of the playoffs and brought back the culture of the team, and the players were very adamant about hiring him..

 

jury still out on this one...

Coach Wilks you wil be missed. Best wishes to where you land in the future.

Race is definitely a issue when it comes to owners.

 

Not much they can do to fix this issue though. You can't tell a man who owns the team who to hire with his money.

 

Hopefully Wilks get another opportunity. I wish him well for sure he did a damn good job taking over from Rhule.

Respect to coach Wilks. And love for what he gave me this year. A reason to watch. Listening Tepper? 

I am not shading Reich he is a good coach I believe. But if only they’d have won one more.

Love ya Wilksie but you know the game. 

Actually he doesn’t if you haven’t noticed his whiney bitch fest tantrum he is throwing right now.

I did appreciate him stepping up in a shitstorm even though he isn’t HC material but after this BS he/his team is insinuating.

I despise Tepper but he is one of the most progressive owners (first trans cheerleader, Reid etc).

If Reich was going to be it all along so the fug what. How can he simply hire who he wants without making a minority going through the motions to satisfy a dumb rule? He literally can’t. Wilks should be suing the NFL for their rule.

Can we remove the thank you thread for the coach that is getting ready to sue our franchise? It is evidently clear that this particular are situation has nothing to do with race. We were not interested in hiring abother ultra conservative, defensive coach. Period. End of story. It is the correct call too.

I'm not stepping into that minefield.  That is none of my business.

he brought us back to where we were supposed to be as far as identity. he corrected the damage done by rhule and he gave this team a good foundation for success. 

i feel good about what he did here and i really hope he gets a job with an organization that isn't fixated on fixing an offense. We went the direction we needed to go as a team. We were set on getting an offensive minded coach with experience as a winning pro level coach. we needed to go a different direction than we have in the past. so basically it was just a matter of not being an ideal situation for giving Wilks the full time gig here. 

if he were to land a job somewhere else, which he absolutely should, i guarantee you they will be a competitive fighting team who keeps winning. he's definitely good...he just wasn't the direction we needed to go.
