He just became the HC of a staff he didn’t hire and had one week to prepare his team to travel across the country with a 4th string QB, no Luvu, no Horn, and no Chinn and take on the Rams. 
Give the man a few weeks at least to try to right this sinking ship… I doubt he is the answer, but let’s give him some sort of chance before writing him off. 

But, but... this is the "Huddle". We demand INSTANT!!

Why do you think an interim coach is going to right the ship? 

I don’t think that. I think you can’t judge him after this one game all things considered. I’m just saying give him a few weeks to “right” it and if he can’t then we can hire a new HC this offseason.

4th string QB, best LB, best CB, and Chinn who is a captain. Now add the fact we traveled across the country and he just became the HC not even a week ago. We will have time to access him, people are just being a little premature which is par for the course. 

You already stated that. I'm not disagreeing that we had injured players.

I'm not even disagreeing that it might be premature to access Wilks. 

What I'm pushing back on is the idea injuries are any kind of excuse. The Rams had injured players. So does every team in the league.

Part of good coaching is over coming your injured players.

I'm about to watch the replay, but hey either way Rhule is gone and he's why it's all currently a shitshow. Better to start exposing the frauds now than let the staff try to figure it out behind closed doors in the offseason. The worst part about Rhule's show is you had no idea who was to blame for what. Should be more cut and dry from now on

Hell, I can accept losing. I expected us to lose. What I didn't expect is to stop the opposition, have roughly 90 seconds (or whatever it was) three timeouts, but let the clock expire, when the opposition---defending champion--gets the ball first in the second half. Hell, even if you were getting the ball first, you STILL try to score.

Not even about that. Wilks has been in the NFL long enough to not play to lose.

This was P.J. Walker's worst performance. I wonder why...

Yeah, I get it... but, I'm sure Wilks will admit there were coaching mistakes as well. He needs a game or two to get a feel for what works or doesn't work within this system he has been dealt. It's a lot more complex than us huddlers and weekend warriors would like to think. I'm sure he will critique his own strategy after this game, frankly, I'm surprised the Panthers lead 10-7 at the half. I fully expected the Rams to have a "get right" game and destroy us. There's no denying they're a far better team. I'm not on a bandwagon for Wilks at all... I just think with THIS roster, an adjustment period will be required. At least a game or two, experience or no experience. I don't think Belichick could fix this in a game or two. It's a tough situation.

Injuries are one thing but rolling out 4th string in the most important position in sports is a little bit of a handicap. It’s a tough task for any coach, must less an intermediate one that just took over 6 days ago.

Wilks was never it. He was never going to make it past this season. 
 

This season has been over. Just need Wilks to keep this team stable long enough to get us through the schedule, and get us that number 1 pick. This is worse than 2010. I can’t wait for Tepper to clean house.

I'm not asking him to fix it - I'm asking him to play to win.

That sequence before half-time when he let the Rams bleed 1.30 off the clock whilst sat on 3 TOs. Criminal.

Calling a time out on the Rams in the 4th Q down by 2 scores when on the previous drive you'd run a RB draw on 3rd and forever? Clown show.

 

Didn't we go into halftime with all 3 TO's?

Clearly the direction was to run the ball and throw to the sideline.  Running on 3rd and long made no sense.  It looked a bit like an intentional tank.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By Aussie Tank · Posted

      I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball

      Is running back on the table for the panthers this draft?

      100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.

      I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
