Yep. IOC and FIFA corrupt as hell. 
 

im convinced most NFL owners are probably guilty of something if the government “really” wanted to investigate them. 
 

NCAA is one of the worst organizations in the world. College sports full of garbage and plenty of reasons to not like college athletics. 

I mean if you actually knew the inner workings of Bama over the last 20 years? It would have more drama than Game of Thrones.  Sports on all levels is crazy.   Especially pre NIL.  But even the NIL era is going to be wild. To be a fly on the wall basically of any major sport org.

How did he do before Carolina?

Not as good as Frank, If we're being honest.

Now that said, I never did put the majority of the blame for that disaster on Wilks. Having success under Bidwill and Keim probably would have taken divine intervention.

The “leader of men” style coaching is out dated and doesn’t work in 2023.

That arguably depends on your skill in the hiring area.

If you can find the right people to do the nuts and bolts type jobs, then that leadership style might still be effective.

That said, Wilks was a big fan of Al Holcomb as a DC, so it would seem he might not be appreciably better in that area than his former boss (the one currently in DC) was.

It's amazing people think Wilks is not HC material when he had the players backing him and put life back into this franchise when he took over.

 

1 failed opportunity with the Cardinals means he should never get another opportunity.

 

Meanwhile we hired a losing coach who was fired. Nobody said Frank didn't deserve the job.

 

Never change Huddle.

We’ll Frank had a winning record, but who cares about facts these days

And did that while having to navigate the sudden retirement of Luck and working with scraps from the QB market.

he did that, look what Rhule did in the same time frame.

There is no comparing Reich’s past to Wilks past, night and day. 
 

Look, I’m not knocking what Wilks did for us, I just don’t see him as a good HC in today’s NFL.

On top of that, the sentiment that "nobody said frank didn't deserve the job" has the attention span of a goldfish.  TONS of people were HIGHLY critical of Reichs hiring.  I remember because I'm older than 6 months old.

So how do we judge Wilks if he only gets 1 opportunity?

 

 

 

I think what works against Wilks the most is what he represents.  He is an old school defensive HC.  If every job was vacant today and everything even, most teams aren’t eyeing that.   It naturally limits opportunity.   

If I owned a team I would prefer offense.  And if I wanted old school.  I’d go the Frank route.  Because he at least is offensive.   But my preference would be young and offensive. 

Now if Belichick or Tomlin happened to be interested? I’d be willing to put aside my preference.  But they got crazy resumes.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
