5-6 more wins? No thanks. Delaying the inevitable rebuild is literally putting this franchise in purgatory. The worst stretch in almost 30 years of existence. Why the hell would you keep doing the same fuging poo and rolling over coaches and Fit?

It’s not ordinary because it doesn’t work. This franchise isn’t special. We desperately need a reset. And the best man for the job aren’t people already here, that is asinine.

I'd be happy with him as defensive coordinator but don't want him as head coach. I can't stand the conservative game management. He doesn't play to win. That works if the other team beats themselves, but you're not going to consistently win that way and you're going to gradually undermine your team's confidence. I think we're just seeing how historically terrible Rhule was that Wilks' basic competence looks so good. But we can do better.

We had the lead and all the momentum no reason to risk that. Also, he's playing the 4th string QB who he didn't draft, sign, or scout so I don't hate him for playing it safe especially when he knows he needs to win in order to have a chance at the job.

No way.  He's too conservative for a league like this.  He's just like Rivera.  We seen that play out here, and we have seen it play out in Washington, and it hasn't went well.  I get it, it is a feel good story being a local guy but that doesn't get you to the playoffs.

I would not hate if we hired him.. I don't see how it can happen though.. Surely we aren't going to keep McAdoo.  Then we have to find an OC (again) and all that.  I like having Wilks around.  Ideally, he and Holcomb will be here next season in some capacity but I'm not sure how that works.

People in here stating it would take a couple of playoff wins.... If Wilks gets a single playoff win with this roster... it is a no brainer to keep him. 

Even just qualifying for the playoffs might satisfy the "incredible job" requirement.

With head coaching candidates, I always look at what kind of staff they might build. Haven't looked at Wilks' work history, he could actually build a decent one. And I don't necessarily think he'd have to turn over the entire group to do so.

The question I have is who Wilks would bring in to replace Macadoo if he is named permanent HC?

Looking at his history, a couple of possible names would be Freddie Kitchens and our old buddy Rob Chudzinski.

But I also have to wonder, if McAdoo does actually do a good enough job to help us win games, are we certain that Wilks replaces him?

I mean heck, this past Sunday's offensive game plan didn't look bad at all.

I like Coach Wilks a lot   He’s a football coach’s coach 

He isn’t the shiny new toy Tepper craves though   He is old school 

let’s see how does first 

but if he does well, keeping him, Al, Campen and Tabor would really be great. Just a decent OC.

I agree. There is a lot of football to be played yet, we will see how it plays out. However, I agree with you about Campen and Chris Tabor. They have made a positive difference. I do hate to think about losing them with a coaching change. I think this next game with Atlanta may tell us a lot.

Extremely likable guy, and has always come off as a real leader.

Looking at the staff, Holcomb and Don Johnson were both part of his staff in Arizona so I'd expect them to stay. Also think we'd likely keep Campen (and Kugler), Tabor, maybe even Ben McAdoo if he does well between now and the end of the season.

Other "maybes" I could see possibly staying include Sean Ryan Jeff Nixon, Kevin M Gilbride and Paul Pasqualoni.

It’s great to have a little hope and i really like Coach Wilks a lot   So happy for him 

However, of course, the wins have to come and we both know Tepper does like his shiny new toys 

my feeling, no reason he can’t succeed, just have to see how he does as season plays out particularly against better teams I.e. (against Bengals, Ravens et Al )

what did you make of Tepper and his actions in the locker room ?

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
