Panthers interviewing Steve Wilks

Really strange that he would want to come here, TBH.

Rhule actually did good here, this will be great when he takes over as HC midway through the season.

He'd be coaching a very good group at Carolina.  And Horn comes back as well this year to add even more elite talent.  

A lot to like . . .

Stop making good decisions, you're sucking me back in...

If all these decisions come from Rhule realizing his own limitations, I will be very impressed.  That kind of self awareness (of one's own weaknesses) is not very common.  

If these decisions are from on high (Fitterer or even Tepper) then it's being forced on Rhule.  He got voluntold to jettison the Temple/Baylor retreads and hire some real NFL coaches.  

Time will eventually tell what's going on behind the scenes . . .

Rhule ain’t making these hires, he’s not that smart

We from no HC on this team to 3 or 4. Sorry Rhule didn’t include you because u don’t know how to run a team

Wilks is and will be great in this role. He was great under McD/Rivera with limited talent in the secondary. Not a great defensive play caller (although he has very little experience in that role) or HC but in this position this is a phenomenal add.

I mean either he is making these hires, or he no longer has full control like before. So either he is growing in his position or the organization is growing and changing the structure of power. Either one is a win of sorts.

Glad we brought back Wilks.. But.. I thought Snow was a secondary guy.  Why the need for a def passing game coordinator if the secondary is the actual coordinators thing?  Either way, I'm pumped.

Things may not be as bad as Joe Person and the huddle thinks, according to people that actually matter. Time will tell.

Seems like a lot of coaches that are auditioning for a HC position with the Panthers when Rhule heads back to college.

 The best hires are 2 people who likely have hopes of becoming a HC again.  Working here could be a short cut.

I was thinking the same thing. Our ex-defensive back coach (Jason Simmons) also carried the same title of defensive passing game coordinator IIRC. He was Snow’s right hand man so bringing Wilks aboard may be an effort to find a similarly experienced replacement. With Snow being up in age, it may benefit us to have someone to step in if the need arises.
