Opinions: if Wilks does a good job...

[Jmac]

If he binds this team together and wins 5 or 6 more games, should he be retained as HC.

Sure that would kill the 'tank' crowd, but is he somehow gets P.J to be the guy this year and team responds positively, what should they do?

Opinions please...

How about we see a bigger sample size first. No offense but some folks are giving off the same energy as our 3-0 start with Darnold or our win streak with Kyle Allen. Let it play out.

[Captroop]

We should do a complete Head Coach search. If he does well, I think he should be in the running. But I wouldn't hand him the job outright considering there appear to be several interested candidates.

I hope he does well, but I don't want us to make the mistakes of last time. Let's go through the process and hire the best person for the job.

Nope, barring a deep playoff run, my mind is made up about Shane Steichen as the next HC.

 

Steve can hang around and coach the DBs....

Almost 20 teams are either 2-5 or 3-4. Put the tank talk on hold. If we win next week and the Bucs lose to the Ravens we're 1st in the division whether people like it or not

You judge him just like any other head coach in my opinion.

He’s 1-1 with 10 games left, if he can finish with a 12 game record of 7-5 (six more wins) or above then I think you have to seriously consider giving him the job. I think going 7-5 with another coaches roster and staff would certainly qualify you for the job.

And hell, 8-9 might win this division.

If he gets us to the playoffs with a winning record then sure. Anything less and I say no.

winning record since Wilks took over? or a winning record in general?

But.... but..... muh draft picks.....

 

Tank talk should be OFF-LIMITS until the maths states- "NO PLAYOFFS."

Wilks wins 2 playoff games, keep him as HC.

[RJK]

I would caution against seeing competitive football for the first time in a long time and thinking that's good enough. I like Wilks and they were scrappy yesterday but the panthers HAVE to get this HC/QB combo right this time. 

[top dawg]

If he gets us to the playoffs,with more than a .500 record (and our QB room), I'll apologize for saying that he ain't it.

[JawnyBlaze]

If we win a playoff game? Sure, give him a consideration. Six or seven more wins? Nah, for that I’d rather get an offensive minded HC, higher potential. Six or seven more wins with this team would be an accomplishment no doubt, but not impressive enough to make me believe he could turn the team into a consistent winner. Worst thing that could happen is we get a franchise QB in the draft and hire a Rivera-like HC that handicaps the potential of the team.

Exactly

So many want to trash the season for a QB that may or may not be any good.
