I feel certain that Steve Wilks was feeling let down because he didn't get the Panthers HC position but he still showed his usual class in the wording of his statements. I really liked Wilks and wish him the best of fortune going forward. He is a good leader of men and will be an asset to the next team that receives the benefit of his input.

I pay little attention to them, fans will be fans. After they have a losing 2023 season, they may be wishing they had him as a head coach.

I feel sure he will have a news conference shortly pertaining to the hiring of our new head coach . That will give us some insight on what he is planning to do going forward with the team and what he expects out of Frank Reich, his new head coach.

Dov Kleiman @NFL_DovKleiman Update: The #Packers will not be trading Aaron Rodgers within the NFC Conference. They "will explore" the idea of trading the QB exclusively to the AFC, per @AdamSchefter

The Panthers have never had a head coach with an offensive background in franchise history, and perhaps not coincidentally, they've only had three top-10 offenses during those first 28 years.

If the Panthers did select Anthony Richardson at #9, I cannot think of a better HC than Reich to develop him and have him reach his full potential as an NFL QB.

I fully expect Reich with his experience with QB's, to be able to get the most out of a veteran QB ,or develop a young QB like Corral or one the Panthers draft.

I'm also wishing Wilks, who I liked, success wherever this takes him next!

I believe that Reich will be able to get a lot of top notch, asst. coaches and that is one reason I was on board for the Panthers to select him.

I feel bad for Wilks, who I liked and hope he gets a well deserved HC job in the near future with a defense needy team . The fact Tepper's wanted to change the Panthers direction and hire an offensive minded HC, pretty much left Wilks out of the running to be the Panthers next HC.

Now, the Panthers are charting a new course, and Reich gives them an opportunity to change their style while sliding comfortably into a city that's changed considerably since the last time he was here. He's been there. He's done that. His experience set him apart from all the other offensive coaches they interviewed. And while his background is different than the guys who held the job before him, his personality makes him a fit here. Reich is understated, he's calm, but he exudes the gravity and leadership the job demands.

Now if that don't beat all. Ha! Ha!

That was one I missed....

Thanks for the heads up! I will have to try the “Big New Yorker".

True! I will not argue that point!

Older coaches bring something younger ones cannot and that is a vast amount of experience.

Yes it does!!!

Even with at least half the league either in dire need of a quarterback or with at least one eye on a potential upgrade, it will be difficult for the Packers to force much compensation in return if Rodgers is dealt.

After reading all these posts, I have a question. Question: Is there any head coach on this planet that would satisfy all Panthers fans? Answer: No, there is not.

If he hates Bojangles, I don't want him. Nuff said.

In that case, Florida's Richardson should be available and he would not be a bad selection if the Panthers go QB in the draft.

That sceniro would be ideal but with the amount of teams needing QB's, I doubt he will last until the 16-19 pick.

I am all in for hiring Steichen as the Panthers new head coach. The playoffs cannot end soon enough to see what happens.

I agree. It is very obvious we need a 2nd line center, and have too many wingmen,
