Both are examples I point to when considering our next coaching hire. I don’t think there were many outside of the organizations hiring them that took them seriously. No one’s chuckling now!

No one ever heard of Sirianni either. I believe he was a reluctant play caller with the Colts - does anyone even know what his official title was? Zac Taylor was more well known but again did anyone foresee him leading the Bengals to this level of success? Trust the process

Couldn’t help but chuckle at this one. Wilks understands the game. He’s rightfully giving this process time to play out. If not, he doesn’t deserve to be a HC.

nice find Mr Scot

Sounds even crazier when you put it that way LP. I’m not sure anyone could believe that deal would make sense. I’m certainly glad some of these armchair GM’s aren’t making this decision. Something else I heard on Kyle Bailey that we should all think about - no one ever heard of Nick Sirianni when he was hired a few years ago. His first press conference was forgettable at best and I’m sure everyone thought the Eagles played themselves. Two years late - he’s got them on the verge of their 2nd SB. Lesson? Sometimes the right guy is not the one everyone wants or the sexy hires. The Panthers absolutely need to nail this one, whoever it is.

Wilks will never sign a one-year contract and the Panthers would never foolishly offer him that. It will be Arizona all over again - a PR nightmare a deterrent for any future hires and sends the wrong message to the team and the fans. He’ll get the standard 3-4 years if offered the job and that’s fair. Give the man a chance to succeed. And Harbaugh was never coming here. There’s no reason to believe he was ever leaving Michigan. Let’s move on.

Just heard Kyle Bailey show that Steichen may stay in Philly. Didn’t catch the source and at this stage it’s probably just hearsay but I’m just saying this could go either way. I still think it comes down to Wilks or Reich, unless a mystery candidate e.g. Nick Sirianni is out there.

I hope Tepper does the same IF he decides Wilks is the man for the job.

Understand and agree with everything you said. It’s not over yet. We just have to trust the “process” - where have we heard this before? Not like we have a choice anyway.

I certainly do. I’m right here with you - been a fan since the beginning. I know how it ends. Unfortunately we fans can only hope the new regime understands the history and makes this and other decisions accordingly.

You know, I’m not a Patriots’ fan by any street h but this is the best move they could’ve made and makes a helluva lot more sense than having Matt Patricia as your OC. Nice going, BB!

Remember Wilks has a pending discrimination lawsuit against the NFL that I’m sure is a major factor in the lack of interest across the league. And yes, Brian Flores has an interview request for an opening - from the AZ Cardinals. The same team who jettisoned Wilks after one season and is the reason he added his name to the litigation. Just sayin’

Don’t forget with a chance to win the division (as terrible as it was) and make the playoffs. With this roster. After the horrendous start to the season and the most important position in flux. And surviving Rhule. I too am slowly coming around to the idea of Wilks with a top-flight OC and better DC. Not my top choice but they don’t pay me to make these decisions.

I think Ryans has at least earned a virtual interview with us after his unit’s performance.

Demeco Ryan is calling a helluva defensive game. I wish our D could play like this instead of the bend-don’t-break, 10-yd zone D we’ve been forced to watch.

Sounds eerily similar to our defense at times.

Was little more than a caretaker for Cam IMO. And he’s pretty much that with Buffalo as Daboll’s replacement.

I don’t think he or Steichen are ready to be HC just yet. I think Steichen is more ready than Dorsey. Bills’ offense is starting to get untracked.

Not smart of the Giants to go for it on 4th down and 8 on their side of the 50. Just gave the Eagles good field position and momentum to go up by 2 scores.

This never thought much of him as a DC but it would be great to add him to our staff, whoever’s it will be.

Understandable. Their offense hadn’t been anything to write home about for the past few years.

Any possibility of Roman being a HC prospect? Any chance Tepper brings him in?

Wouldn’t surprise me if it comes down to Reich or Wilks with how things are shaking out. I’m becoming more skeptical about Payton coming here. Steichen and Kafka are unknowns at this point, and as exciting as the new offensive wunderkind would be, the goal should be building a consistent winner here in Carolina beyond the honeymoon stage. And that may require experienced leadership and direction at the top. IMO
