Who could Wilks call for help?

Suppose current OC Ben McAdoo continues to not be able to cut the mustard? Where could interim head coach Steve Wilks turn for help?

Obviously, you can't install a new offensive system in the middle of the season. That would leave Wilks searching for an on-staff replacement, with quarterback coach Sean Ryan likely being the only viable option.

But if Wilks we're to, say, reach out to someone who could come on board as a consultant to maybe call plays or assist in some other fashion, who would some of the options be?

Looking back at his history, the following names present themselves...

Norv Turner, Retired, Former Panthers OC

Turner and Wilks have worked together twice, first in San Diego then with Carolina. Norv would be readily available (as long as his wife agrees).

Jim Skipper, Retired, Former Panthers RB Coach

Skipper and Wilks we're on the Panthers staff together for a bit and he's been an OC before.

Freddie Kitchens, Senior Analyst, University of South Carolina

Kitchens has a consultant type role already at the college level. He and Wilkes were together in Cleveland along with OL Coach James Campen.

Rob Chudzinski, Special Assistant to the Head Coach,  Boston College

Another current college consultant, and an acquaintance of Wilks from their Charger days.

Todd Haley, Head Coach, Tampa Bay Bandits (USFL)

Haley was let go from the Browns and replaced with Kitchens. He's technically got a full-time job but this is his offseason.

Not a great best, but not a terrible one either.

Mind you, there are other potentially better options but most of them are currently employed elsewhere in the NFL.

Can't say I really expect anything like this to happen, but there are options at least.

      We finally get to see Brooks this week

      By rayzor · Posted

      they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.

      I dont think the clock has started yet on canales.  Once he gets his guy then the pressure starts.  WFNZ/mike kaye said  yesterday that he thinks there are 4 options here regardless of bryces status, Geno, Fields, Wilson maybe Jones.
