Tepper had this move in play with Wilks from the start. He wanted Wilks under Snow and in place for a change. Wilks was not picked by Rhule or Snow. This is a long play on attracting Byron Leftwich to reunite with Wilks. Leftwich becomes the HC. Wilks stays on as Leftwich's choice for DC.

Ah yes, the man who orchestrated a attack that put up a whopping 7 points on the 49ers, and has a losing record with TB12 as his QB.

Surely this man deserves to be a HC.

I don't  want a great offensive or defensive mind as a head coach. I want a leader of men who knows and understands football and who does not have an ego when it comes to his colleagues.  I want an offensive genius for an OC and a defensive genius for a DC. They can manage and micro manage as much as they'd like. A HC DOES NOT have that luxury

So you want to groom Head Coaches for other teams

After calling Marty Hurney a genius and giving Rhule a 7 year contract w/full control, does anyone in their right mind want Tepper leading another search? 

If Wilks wins the NFCS he deserves a shot as HC.  

 

 

 

If he lands one game out of winning it he deserves a shot.

Plenty of games left in the season. He's what, .500?

With QBs that are totally bottom tier

WRs that are lower tier 

an OC that’s a totally dumpster fire 

he knows this  

As I said in October, to not look like a total dumpster fire, do the one thing that offense can do, run

he has taken an abysmal poker, chicken poo hand and is making chicken salad

That .500 with this team is a god damned miracle

I still favor DeMeco Ryans for HC, but I would not be opposed to Wilks in the slightest. He has the team playing hard and can lead a group of men to hell and come out on the other side of it. 
 

The main thing would be to get the OC and QB coach hires right. We still need a QB and I want whoever is the next HC to have a plan in place to find that guy.

Wilks at coach and Reich at OC. 

Buyer beware:  Reich as an OC has exactly one season of success:  2017 with the Eagles when Carson Wentz played out of his mind.  His other three seasons as an OC his teams ranked 17, 26, 16 in scoring offense.

That why we create the OC Apprenticeship Program. The apprentice learns the O with the understanding the when the present OC leaves, he's the man. Then he hires his own apprentice. Rinse and repeat. We would never run out of OCs. lol

There always has to be a line of succession for coordinators.  Anybody as either an OC or DC that hits home runs is going to be interviewed and probably get offers, unless they are the north end of a southbound horse like Josh McDaniels.  And even he was in the mix.

Good teams do exactly that.  They are usually doing it to groom their next HC when the current one retires or moves on, but teams with upper-echelon coaching staffs can never pat themselves on the back and think "job done."  It may be done today, but come January or when they are making their tee times for the offseason......

The team seems to be making their opinion of Wilks known on the field, if not in the media.

There's a lot to say for a coach when it is obvious the team will go to war for him. Still, let's ride this season out and see what we have.

There is a chance that at the end, we may be competing with another team for Wilks as HC. We would be foolish to rule that out at this point.

The only thing that would concern me is falling into a trap IF we land a great OC, they leave for a HC gig shortly after. So maybe the approach is paying a guy like Reich a lot & giving him an AHC title.  Doing what we need to for landing & keeping a solid OC for a few years.

But then stepping back, I honestly think that makes more sense for Wilks as a DC/AHC with a guy like Steichen or B. Johnson leading the charge.  It would just be in our benefit to find a guy with a juggernaut offense vision long term but totally see it's in our benefit to keep Wilks in the building.  Could be a unique situation either way.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
