Redskins Could Hire Steve Wilks To Be Their New DC

[Mr. Scot]

Related: There's also speculation Washington will go after Wade Phillips.

I see that being a lot more likely than Wilks.

Every time you guys say assistant head coach, I think of Dwight Schrute.

Assistant HC is just a title guys.

Panthers would not block this move.

Not so sure about that.

We don't need a defensive coordinator. Ron is a DC and he should take it over cause he's damn sure not doing poo else but standing there like a damn mannequin on the sideline

Member Steve wilks loves carolina, only see him leaving for HC gig. I can see the redskins (with syders' $$$$$) offering wilks like 3-4 million for DC, making wilks rethink his Carolina love...

He is a DB coach. As someone else said AHC is just a title. 

He would absolutely leave to become a DC.

Yuppers. That is one thing that fans seem to forget when they are mad at Ron. He is well respected around the league. He has people he can go to for advice. Or when word gets out what he is looking for, he has people that will help him along the way.

 

You can pretty much put Gman in that same vein. These two have a wide circle of influence form which to draw. IF, they decide to make a change. They will have plenty of information to cull through to make an informed decision.

I mean Norv picked Chud over him so there's that too

Why would he go from assistant HC here, to DC somewhere else?  Doesn't make much sense...

It does when you consider the condition the front office left him in. They won't give him the veteran he wants. They force him to develop a stable of rookies without any veteran leadership all at the same time. He is in a hopeless situation, and I am sure he has not gotten any support on bringing in veteran CBs to help him develop the stable of inexperienced players.

You have to feel for the spot the Panthers put Wilks and McDermott in following the 2016 off season given the resources they had available if the front office agreed to it.

If Wilks follows Norman, especially if McDermott vacated the DC position, then you know there are some serious internal problems.

So basically they are experiencing sticker shock at paying $16M per year for the 22nd best corner in the NFL and want to bring in the guy who can produce better value for them?

Because Ian Rapoport is an idiot.

But there are a lot of African Americans in the DC area. They will probably trade for him.

Just saying, Dave Shula is still available...I also think there's a few Shula Sisters that could fill roles if we need.

If McDer. leave he will take the Panthers DC

On top of that we still have the right to block and we would if McD even thinks he is getting a job.
