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.

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
