Can we just take a second to give this man some flowers, taking over under the circumstances can’t be easy, but this team has competed and given us something to watch and enjoy again!  I, for one, am grateful to just watch exciting football again!  Thank you for being steady and leading these men, Coach Wilks!

 

 

I agree.

To me there's just something unfair about the opportunity he's been given to prove himself here.

I would give him a chance.  Seems like the players respect him.

Overall I like Wilks. It's a shame his one shot here was with such a terrible QB group.

I feel like he is doing it right. They are men and  he treats them like men. At the same time took no bull from Anderson. Woke up to find himself traded probably. That is a strong message on a couple of levels. At the same time, he stands in the firing line for the players who screwed up.

I believe he understands how to lead and motivate on a high level. 
And I bet he gets interviews out of this and not just to satisfy the Rooney rule or because of his lawsuit.

I have seen enough to know what I am looking at, and don’t think Wilkes is going to change over the next few weeks into, fundamentally, something else. This is what he is, and we are seeing it right now.

Fox was the same way, Riverboat was the same way

 

The NFL isnt old school anymore, we need some fresh new blood with fresh new ideas.

Maybe you are right, but I think the NFL is great when it is old school. They want flag football now

Old school is a thing of the past.  The games from NFL films are totally different then whats being played today.  We had Miami on one of the tvs yesterday and the second half that McDaniel layed out was a thing of beauty.  Absolute brillance.  I dont see a coach like wilks changing midgame and adapting like that

I love Wilks. Is he the right guy? No one knows. This franchise is cursed so I’m not sure anyone is the right guy.

Herbert - Brandon Staley - Stud

Brandon Staley was a DC before he got the Chargers job, but you seem to have listed him among offensive-minded coaches if I'm reading your list right.

I think the real issue is somehow the D looked fuging horrible all day 

You mean the side of the ball Wilks is known for and the unit he fired Snow from to hand over to his mate?

Funny, that.

Old school, new school, look the man can coach. We have gone from laughable, to broadcasters in other games calling is a very "tough out" in span of 3 weeks.

Definitely unfortunate that our field goal kicker missed 2 game winning kicks, but the plays were there to be made. I think one thing you can note is that the coach's on the other side of the field aren't noticably out coaching us any more. It's nice to behold.

If we keeps us competitive with the hand he was dealt, I wouldn't mind seeing him with his own QB and coordinator choice in the future.

If Wilks can build off of yesterday's close loss, and turn it into close wins, and then decisive wins down the stretch, then there's no way he doesn't get the HC nod. I hope it happens. He's a good dude and the guys play hard for him. I like his demeanor better than Rivera's and Fox's. This was his third game, and only his second with a full week to prepare, so he's 1-1 as far as I'm concerned. Would be great to beat the Bengals after they just blew out the Falcons. Hey, it could happen!

What would you like to know?  Great young innovative staff.  Knows how to use their personnel.   Clearly had a 3-5 year plan in how Josh Allen should be developed.
