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

And to add I’m definitely on board with the Evero hire

Wilkes was the head coach here in an interim capacity. That’s what made it weird.

This ^^^ it would be asking Wilks to accept a demotion of sorts. I also get the feeling that Tepper wants to take things in a different direction - defense included. And while the optics may be a little fishy from a legal standpoint, based on the inconsistencies we’ve seen - and the possibilities with the young core players - you can’t really blame him.

Yeah I get.  I would think you would at least offer him the position tho

Trust me I get it.. but to publicly make that statement of not offering him a position for that sole purpose and to double back on Evero.. again to me just doesn’t help the case

For Evero, it's a promotion.

For Wilks, it would have been a demotion.

Loved Proehl as a player, but what WRs actually developed during his stint here as a WR coach?

If I recall Proehl was all in on Devonte Adams and Gettleman picked Kelvin Biscuitman instead.

Re: Proehl

Looked up Beebe and apparently he's the head coach at a small private college in Illinois.

Not a problem and this is easily fixed.  1. Tepper looks under sofa tonight for spare change, 2. Tepper buys out the XFL team tomorrow, 3. Ricky becomes Panthers WR position coach on Monday, 4. 2 best players and Ricky’s son from XFL team signed to Panthers practice squad on Tuesday.  Easy, peasy…

IF (huge "if") we were to land Evero and one of the Philly names being kicked about, it would be hard for Wilks fanboys to be mad. 

Reich + BJ/Patullo + Duce + Evero + Evero's assistants >>> Wilks + BJ + Holcomb 

We get the experience, an offensive-focused coaching staff instead of a defensive-focused HC and a HC candidate for a DC. 

Dave Tepper, let's make this happen!! ---- and change the turf back to grass.

I wonder if Reggie Wayne is more committed to Reich or the Colts? He was a volunteer WR advisor for a few years declining coaching opportunities there. Joined Reichs staff in 2022 and was real disappointed when Reich was fired…

 

Found this article on Wayne looking comfortable in that role last year at TC. Much like Duce, I like the fire and buy-in from the players….

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.

I honestly think Ginn was who he always was, he just had more opportunities with us because we were so bad at WR. Most teams have others guys they'd rather target than a guy only catching 45% of his targets.

Ginn took the top off of defences - something we've never replaced.

Samuel was supposed to be that guy he just never really developed as a WR.

Not developing WRs is kind of a long standing Panthers tradition.

We need to take a hard look at Chark this off-season
