This is getting nasty about not hiring wilks for the head coach position everywhere online and on t.v, of course I just seen Shannon Sharpe and skip Bayless going back and forth and skip always brings up the race card he thinks it makes him look "cooler" or something idk but....

If you are a true panthers fan you will know that from the very beginning David Tepper wanted a offensive head coach from the get go! 

So the whole point for this post is, I KNOW deep down the NFL is like the WWE and its all planned out so... I want this to go down so in the next three years or so when it happens everyone knows I was correct that Steve wilks will get hired this year as a defense coordinator and the NFL will make sure his unit is one of the best so the next year he will get hired as a head coach and then the NFL will make sure wilks wins a Superbowl.

So it's a win win for wilks and the NFL. 

Oh yeah and 1 more thing alllll that crap skip Bayless was talking about us not hiring wilks because he's a black man is all B.S and guess what! His "Cowboys" have never had a black head coach ever.

I just don't feel that all these talking heads actually watched our games. There is a problem, and that problem produces a nebulous picture, but I'm not so sure that the problem applies in this particular instance. But, I guess that is kind of the point. Wilks' situation here was almost a fait accompli from the beginning. 

Key asked what more could Wilks have done. How about beat the Bucs?

I hate to see it going this way with Wilks. Even though Tepper has always his eyes on an offensive guru, if Wilks would have led us to the playoffs he would have job. The Tampa game hurt but I think the Pittsburgh & Cincinnati game did even more damage. We looked totally unprepared for both of those games.

the Dallas cowboys or Pittsburgh Steelers would never be asked to hire a coach they didn’t believe in or didn’t fit what they were looking for

therein lies the problem: the media isn’t invested in seeing the panthers be successful. 

In their eyes the panthers exist to be a team that builds the ‘interesting’ teams up. It’s okay if the panthers don’t have a top coach that pushes them towards the super bowl because that isn’t the panthers place.

The panthers should be less focused on rising above their station and more focused on helping the league have more coaches with black skin.

He should have rolled over safety help on at least one of the Evans TDs instead of leaving him on an island with his 3rd/4th CB.
However he inherited a mess and did a hell of a job cleaning it up. If he was an offensive guy/qb guru I would hope he would have the job. It probably didn’t help that Reich had a list of staff ready to go and Wilks was (allegedly) wanting to keep Holcomb.

They certainly didn't help. I even kind of gave him a pass on the Bengals disaster as he was still getting his feet wet and making the transition (or that's at least how I rationalized it after trying to give him some grace). The Steelers game was where I decided that Wilks just could not out-coach the best in the game. Tomlin beat his ass with his own billy club and took his lunch money.

Just don’t give them views. Their job is to make much of nothing. Their job is to speak in outrageous ways to draw you in. 
 

It’s not real. 

Yep. The Raiders interim got them in the playoffs last year during the Gruden poo show. They didn’t hire him and gave McDaniels (who struggled his first time as HC) another chance. No one in the media cared.

White guy vs black guy arguing about race on TV or radio is proven formula to generate clicks and get people to tune and talk about your content. 

But Skip just piled on instead of giving counterpoints. I just doubt that any of these guys actually watched and analyzed the games, much less the general situation.

I feel like there were/are a lot of people out there who unfortunately have pegged Coach Wilks as some kind of proxy for every black coach that has been passed over (or screwed over) by an NFL team.

I'll be the first to admit that the NFL has a major diversity problem when it comes to coaching, but not every decision that doesn't go in favor of a minority candidate can be chalked up to prejudice.

In this case it was clear that David Tepper wanted a coach with an offensive background. That put Wilks at a disadvantage from the start, not his race.

We know the hiring trends for the last several years have favored offensive coaches as well. Taking a look around the league it's clear this has been a major contributing factor in the lack of minority HC hires when you consider that out of the 15 minority non-ST coordinators in the league this past season only 3 were on offense.

That number is now just 2 since Byron Leftwich was fired, pending any new hires. If the NFL really wants to do something about the lack of diversity in its head coaching ranks then perhaps figuring out why this is the case is as good a starting point as any.

The problem is that it looks bad when you hire a white coach who got fired in 2022 with a 3-5 :record and he is hired over a black coach who took a dysfunctional team and produced a 6-6 record which is much better and came within a broken wrist away from taking us to the playoffs. You can hide behind the notion that Tepper wanted an offensive guy  but the expectation that Wilkes has to go to the playoffs versus Reich got fired and immediately gets hired again on the surface surely fuels the discussion there were 2 different standards. Especially given a report from one of our writers that Wilkes had a good plan on offense.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
