So let me get this straight. They didn’t feel comfortable offering Wilks a position because they interviewed him for a head coaching position yet were interviewing Evero after interviewing him for HC position. I totally gets Wilks stance to move on but from a Panthers perspective that can’t look to good for his lawsuit 

It’s not because he was interviewing for HC, it’s because he actually was briefly the HC. You can’t have the guy the team was previously taking orders from drop down the chain of command.  It causes potential conflict. This does absolutely nothing for any possible claim of wrongdoing.

Update: Mike Kaye makes it sound like a genuine possibility

Maybe that initial interview went better than we know 

One thing to keep in mind is that the Vikings defense is old.  Kendricks is 30, Hicks is 30, Peterson is 32, Smith is 30, H. Smith is 33.  Even Hunter is already 28.  Not an ideal spot for a DC.

I’d think any team looking for a DC would be interested in this guy. I don’t see Morris getting the Indy job though. Something tells me it’s Saturday or Steichen. Of course, who really knows what Irsay will do.

Reich seems to inspire an insane amount of loyalty. Sirianni went off on one with the media when the Eagles beat the Colts this year. 

Reggie Wayne would be a great addition to the offensive staff if true. We could use an upgrade here as our WR coaching has been a bit underwhelming for some time now. We’ll see if there’s any interest there.

“which is not how it was deployed last year due to a variety of factors inclusive to personnel, an offense that couldn’t score”

 

I’ve wondered about this.  We’ve heard how this should be an attractive job due to the defensive pieces.

But how much has the other side of the ball is effecting it.  I know we hired a experienced offensive coach.  But we still have the by far worst QB room in the entire NFL.  Does a defensive guy want to come in with all the pressure of having to carry the entire team due to the dead weight of the offense?

We saw Fangio go to a team with one of the most high powered offenses in the NFL, and we later heard money wasn’t the main factor.

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
