Any chance Wilks returns in some capacity?

I'm sure this was brought up internally and Wilks told them to pound sand. 

I like Wilks as a guy and as an assistant coach but I don't think he would have been a success as a HC especially under a noob like Tepper. The Panthers needed some outside perspective and an NFL veteran to teach David Tepper how to win in the NFL. Frank Reich has been in the NFL in some capacity as a player or coach for almost 40 years. Tepper was still buying bad bonds for Goldman Sachs when Reich was playing in the NFL.

Nope, he took this very hard.

 

And I wouldn't be surprise if he lands a HC job somewhere and with the big a$$ chip on his shoulders he might lead a team to a SB win before Carolina gets one...now that would be karma for yall a$$e$...

 

That would be surprising considering no other team requested to interview him

No one else even brought him in for a token Rooney Rule interview this offseason...he'll end up being a DC somewhere this season, maybe Atlanta or Minnesota.

He wasn't listening to offers until Tepper made a decision, watch the calls start coming in...

Texans I believe is his next choice but I think they waiting on 49ers DC...but I was told Wilks did like their draft capital...and believe that's the best fit for him.

Mark my words if he goes to HC the Texans...they are making the playoffs first year. And our season going be done half way through...man the huddle going be a fun place either way it goes if he is hired somewhere else.

Yeah, let’s keep the guy around who all the players love and may still think of as the head coach to undermine the new guy and possibly divide a locker room in of a young and fragile team. Sounds like a good idea.

Is this organization comprised of teenage girls? Who even thinks like this?

Nah, Wilks is officially done with the Panthers. He may come back in some capacity when he retires but not now.

So he's going to go to the franchise that just one-and-doned back to back black head coaches?

Because what other teams have interviewed him for their open HC job?

match made in heaven....3rd time the charm

I'd be happy for the man, but I'll be shocked if, 3 weeks after the coaching carousel has started, he gets an interview request from any other team looking. For obvious reasons, Arizona is not going to interview him. Denver seems locked into DeMeco Ryans. Irsay is probably going to hire Jeff Saturday to be the full time HC like an idiot. And from most reports, Houston is hoping to get either Jonathan Gannon or DeMeco Ryans themselves and they've already started conducting second round interviews with Ejiro Evero and Mike Kafka.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
