Three quarterbacks, seven or so position coaches, and new defensive coordinator, all in one season.

I'd like to see another coach do what he's done with what has gone on herez especially considering the dumpster fire that Rhule left.

And he lost his only weapon

To his credit (even though it wasn’t the best move) Wilks went for it on 4th today more than Fox did his whole career.

Didn't we walk away scoreless on that drive?

Keep Wilks, get a good qb and a new OC.

The worry is you can’t keep winning like this long-term in a passing league. It’s fine if we get ahead but we haven’t shown we can pass the ball. 

Thats not on him.

It was a dumpster fire with some really good talent on the team. We have good players outside of QB, and having such a good OL is the only reason Wilks is able to do decently like he has.  Many coaches could have come in and gone .500 with the talent on this team, imo

Rookie TEs, and most rookie WRs don’t make major impacts. Jefferson and Chase are not the norm. And there are no Jefferson or Chase type prospects in this draft. We need to draft a QB. For folks who enjoyed the style of game we played today you could have put Anthony Richardson in there and expanded the run-game even more. If we can get a stud offensive coordinator, cool. But then that guy will be gone in a couple years if we are good. It’s why most folks want an offensive mind. 

Sam ran fine

There are some Wilks haters who definitely can't be very thrilled today.

The thing is that they don't understand football. They think we are running smashmouth football because that's all Wilks wants. We are doing that because we have the personnel to do it with and our tight ends are the worst receiving group in the league. Tight ends open up the entire passing game in today's schemes and we have none that would qualify as a concern for opposing coaches.

I'd say we hire Wilks, let him go find an offensive coordinator who is inventive, and build out the offensive side of the ball. Look at Tua before Mike McDaniels got there. People wanted him straight up cut. Look at Hurts before they figured out the system to run. 

I'd take Sam Darnold and a competent offensive coordinator along with a first round wide receiver all day, every day going into 2023. I'd also like for us to attempt to find a receiving threat at tight end because that would open up DJ Moore more than anything else that you can do.

For those comparing Wilks to Fox or Ron, you don't know what you're talking about. Wilks is his own man.

And even if he were Fox, last I checked Fox went out and got Manning who threw 50+ touchdown passes in a season and got the Broncos to a Super Bowl. So sign me up for that.

out of pie but this is definitely my opinion. I don't know what Wilks would do with a competent OC and QB, but the reality is that competent OCs get picked up for HCs.  However, I will say that if Wilks keeps winning and gets us into the playoffs I think you have to bring him back.

We did but it does show he has balls. Which was something Fox never had.

We are celebrating a guy who currently has a losing record since taking over, right? The bar is simply being better than what the poo show Matt Rhule was?

I don't know what else the man has to do

Make the playoffs in a shltty division. 

If we make the playoffs and eliminate the Bucs by beating them in Tampa, and thus end Tom Brady's career, Wilks deserves another year.

The schedule is doable.

If you ignore the charmin-soft run he did when he fell short of the sticks when a dude tapped him as “fine” then we have different definitions of “fine”.

Obviously not with our 223 rushing yards.
