Any chance Wilks returns in some capacity?

Nah, that’s dead. It was never going to happen once he didn’t get this job. 
 

I like Wilks. Think he did a decent job. With that being said, I didn’t want him as the panthers head coach. Didn’t really want Reich, but I do like he has shown to have placed an importance on offense, so I don’t mind the hire.

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$...

 

Other than the Panthers, what other teams have interviewed Wilks to fill their HC vacancy? The Panthers gave him 12 games and 2 interviews to convince management that he’s the most qualified for the job, apparently he didn’t.

Based on this I’d say hell no:

If Wilks shares his attorney's opinion, it will change my view of him.  He lost out to a coach with more experience with a better record and he feels like he was cheated?

I get being very disappointed but he faded at the end and flaws were becoming evident. In many ways, Tepper would have "looked better" if he stayed with Wilkds but he felt the team was better with Reich. To me, this type of attitude won't help minority coaches get hired quicker, it will atually hurt them.

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.

This is my only reason for not wanting us to offer him the DC job. The decision has been made, the die has been cast, let's roll on forward and anew.

I got one hope I never have to hear Steve Wilks and the Carolina panthers in the same sentence ever again after this offseason.

the media push for this guy was nothing short of an embarrassment and tells you all you need to know about these fan sites, the observer, and wfnz. They are the bottom of the barrel of the sports world.

The longer this goes on the more overrated this guy gets. I’m sure people will rip this post and bitch and moan, but all the proof I need is the total of 0 head coaching interviews this guy has received outside of Carolina. 
 

he’s a nice guy. He is a great guy. He’s a man of character. But I hope to god he’s the next defensive coordinator of the Atlanta falcons.

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.

Reports have confirmed that the Panthers never talked to Wilks about working under Reich, or to Reich about working under Wilks. Neither did they ever consider doing so.

That was pretty much just a fan fantasy.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      I’m pretty sure we did end up getting the first in that drive, but I don’t remember. It was obviously a catch the ball didn’t move

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By hepcat · Posted

      While I don't think NFL games are fully rigged, it's certainly closer to a scripted outcome than we all think. The NFL by their own admission in court is not a fair and balanced sporting event. It is a managed entertainment product, a "spectacle" as they've put it, that now has sports betting as a huge financial pillar of their business model. It's ridicuously naive to still think the NFL isn't using referees to manage the games towards certain outcomes, using "replays in the booth" and overturning calls, choosing to overlook penalties at critical moments and calling questionable and sometimes phantom game changing penalties at other critical junctures of games. The NFL has always done this going as far back as the '60s, and they were investigated by the FBI in the '70s which found a large number of ownership groups had ties to the mob. So when the overwhelming majority of the moneyline bets were on the Panthers vs the Saints last week, and suddenly we see some strange and ticky tack penalties we've rarely seen called on the Panthers all year, I just know there's more going on behind the scenes. And suddenly next week, the Panthers will probably be nudged to a win, to keep the NFC South race interesting, as I see the Bucs are the favorite as of now and most moneyline bets will trend towards the Bucs until during the game when the Bucs are leading heading into the 4th quarter, and the Panthers are nudged to a win. At least, that's what the NFL and Vegas probably want to happen.
