This is starting to get nasty with coach wilks.

[GOAT]

anyone complaining should have to watch the tape on those 6 losses and then report back why he deserved another HC opportunity. He's had two now. Reich has had one HC opportunity and won a SB as an offensive coordinator.

end of story. nothing to do with what color your mf skin is.

Just watch the first half of the Bengals game

Yeah, I'm seeing/hearing it everywhere. All across social media and comment sections is full of stupid comments and awful takes regarding the hire/non-hire. People are idiots and easy manipulated. Sad part is it gets worse with each passing day.

Like I said in the thread that started that got poo'd so much.  It's not that the Panthers hired Reich.  It's that they conducted a scam interview process and they absolutely deserve to get sued for that.

[PantherFanInPhilly]

Another thing that's so frustrating is anyone that's been paying attention knew there was no way Wilks was getting this job. This was in NO way a shock or a surprise at all.

scam interview process? Meaning that they interviewed Wilks with no intention on hiring him (probably true)?

he means that Reich was known to be the HC and who Tep wanted to hire all along but because he cannot just flat out hire who he wanted to and needed to jump through hoops and satisfy anti racist rules that heals people of racism,  and did jump through those hoops but was not sincere about it and cured of his racist ways by seeing his error in wanting Reich and hiring Wilks, he is clearly a racist and needs to be sued

[Paa Langfart]

You have idiots like this in the washington post adding fuel to the dumpster fire every day it seems - never mind that wilks was in over his head as a DC.

The story of Frank Reich’s hiring as the new coach of the Carolina Panthers is not about Frank Reich. He’s a fine football coach and a good man.

Even though Colts franchise quarterback Andrew Luck retired suddenly before Reich’s second season in Indianapolis, he had a 40-33-1 record there — making the postseason twice — before being fired after a 3-5-1 start last fall.

 

 

But the story isn’t about Reich or his coaching credentials. It’s about Steve Wilks and his coaching credentials. Wilks is yet another example of a Black coach in the NFL being given very little chance to prove himself — first by the Arizona Cardinals, now by the Panthers. And race is very much a part of this story, whether the NFL and its mostly White fan base admits it.

Wilks finally got another “chance” at being an NFL head coach this past season. When Matt Rhule was fired with a 1-4 record and the Panthers in chaos, Wilks was named the interim head coach. At the time, Panthers owner David Tepper said that Wilks would receive serious consideration for the position if he did “an incredible job.”

 

Tepper lied.

Wilks did an incredible job.

Although Wilks did incredible work — remarkable, amazing, fantastic, you choose the word — he had no chance, zero, to get the job. Even though Wilks technically interviewed twice for the position, it was clear Tepper was going outside. He interviewed just about anyone who had ever coached from the minute the season ended; Wilks interviewed twice, which purportedly made him a “finalist.”

Steve Wilks never had a chance with the Carolina Panthers - The Washington Post

This will be a story no matter what we want.  I personally believe when Tepper talked to both and they laid out their plans for the future and I believe that Wilks mentioned his plan was to retain both Holcomb and Mcadoo, hes a Loyal dude and they helped him be successful this year, but without dramatic change in offensive philosophy it put tepper between a rock and a hard place. Insert Reich who has plans to bring in a bright young offensive mind while he himself was an offensive guy and theres the desired outcome he wanted.  I dont think this particular decision was made based on race, it was made on the owners want for an offensive minded coach, and I frankly think he would have moved Wilks direction if Wilks would have been willing to make concessions on his coaching staff which FWIW, he did in Arizona and it caused the raging tire fire that it became, so it became a lose/lose for all involved.  This is just my opinion on how things went down.

[JawnyBlaze]

Trying to use their 2022 records or the fact that Reich was fired this year (by the Colts) is as ignorant and shallow an argument as there could be. Even if you are too lazy to actually pay attention to the games Wilks coached this year, ignoring the epic failure in the game that mattered most, all you have to do is look at their history and it’s obvious Reich is far more qualified and accomplished. And that’s still not even taking into consideration the offensive vs defensive guy thing. Or the fact that despite being a defensive guy, Wilks is bad at running a defense. There is absolutely no informed argument for Wilks over Reich.

Its not just there, but locally as well as I stated here:

 
But also another ridiculous thing that was said on The OG by one of their regular journalist that they talk to is that he was angry the panthers immediately posted about how Reich was our first QB to try to appeal to the fans. Trying to say that the panthers media never tried to appeal to the fans with Wilks, which is complete and utter bullshit. Everyone is making up their own reality.

8-4 would have been "credible". 10-2 would have been "incredible".

If we're really being honest 6-6 was OK. 7-5 would have been "good".
