Well, he is kind of whining through his lawyer.  I don't really appreciate Carolina being looked at in the discrimination lawsuit angle of things.  Not that I'm a pom pom guy for these owners, I actually hate the ownership aspect of sports.  Yet when it comes to this situation, it's bogus.  Heck, even if Tepper had something against Wilks personally, the actual decision of letting Wilks go was the right decision in football terms.

Don't want to get into any of that stuff in this thread, honestly. We've already had a couple of threads closed today.

For now, this is kudos and thank you to a very good man whom we're lucky to have had be part of the team.

Again, love Coach Wilks.  I was telling someone else, it just sucks that he is from a defensive background, because as a leader?  That dude is special.  But we need the aggressive mindset that comes with an offensive background if we want to get the franchise turned in the right direction, and we have a long, established history of where and how often defensive-minded coaching falls short after 27 years, and we just couldn't go down that path again - by no fault of Coach Wilks.  And again, I maintain, he is one of the best 32 coaches in the NFL, and I certainly hope he gets another shot at a HC gig.  He deserves it.  

All the best, Coach!  And thank you for all you have done!

I feel certain that Steve Wilks was feeling let down because he didn't get the Panthers HC position but he still showed his usual class in the wording of his statements.

I really liked Wilks and wish him the best of fortune going forward. He is a good leader of men and will be an asset to the next team that receives the benefit of his input.

Agreed. I really hope he gets a job somewhere. That team would be lucky to have him. You give him a f*cked up situation and he'll have that team turned around quickly. 

I think he would do really well with the texans or even denver. 

i'd love to see what Wilks could do with Wilson in Denver. Seems like Wilson needs someone like Wilks to get his head straight.

I don’t see how he could say anything but thank you. 
I know he wanted the HC job. 
However when he accepted the interim he was told exactly what they wanted to do moving forward. He was also told he would be considered if he did a great job blah blah … don’t remember exactly how it was said.. 

 

They interviewed him and waited to the very end to go the way the owner and FO said they originally wanted to go.

      MLB Devin Lloyd for WR Jalen Coker??

      By shaqattaq · Posted

      I'm not to sure it's a solid argument to try to estimate what he will do this season, BUT he's had a solid 3 years in the league. Here's his numbers compared to Jewell's for the same time period. I can see the logic of getting a starting MLB for a (at best) WR4. AT, XL and Tmac are certainly our top 3 guys IN 2025. Certainly worth pondering.

      Training camp just started and it's already starting... https://www.facebook.com/reel/24277303321904901/?mibextid=rS40aB7S9Ucbxw6v LOL No one believes you and you have fan pages sharing this with a "Play him or trade him" headline. Oh wee mayne. This is why no front offices wanted any part of this.

      Honestly, it only makes sense if you're trying to chase being the best bad team you can be this year. The number one question we need answered this season is whether or not Bryce is our long-term franchise QB. Trading away a second year WR who was second on the team in catch percentage, first in yards per target, and who clearly outplayed your 1st round pick for a likely one year rental fill in LB is exactly the type of short sighted desperation moves that has made us the worst franchise in the league under Tepper. We gotta stop making these types of moves and just focus on building a good organization and a good roster. Lloyd is a JAG LB another bad team and awful defense is wavering on and a couple of Panthers fans are salivating over him. Oof. We just need to be patient and wait. Definitely make some calls around the league to teams deep at LB and see if there's an opportunity to add one for a late round pick. Definitely shop the waiver wire hard. The reality is that LB is almost certainly going to be a weakness for us this year. We weren't fixing our entire roster in one off-season and we're not fixing an overall weak positional group in late July.  If you trade for Lloyd LB is still a weakness and you've given up a young promising WR who could potentially help you answer the question of whether or not Bryce is that guy. That's bad football business.
