Breer on Wilks/Fitterer/Harbaugh

[CmC2k]

The raiders passed on him a couple years ago and then the Vikings passed on him last year and now it looks like we are gonna do the same. He must be asking for the Matt Rhule treatment or something crazy. I can respect it because unlike Rhule he at least has the results to back it up.

100% His name should go the way of the golden calf of bristol.  Make it happen Jeremy

If Harbaugh is available and Tepper wants him instead of Wilks, he will get him.

People also said Tepper would get Deshaun Watson if he wanted him.

Not sure where people get this idea that Tepper is some kind of godfather like figure. He's proven to be nothing of the sort.

This would be stunning. One of the hottest candidates on the market is seemingly basically begging to coach the Panthers and Tepper is like...

Jones makes It sounds like Harbaugh's "representation" have been The ones doing all the calling, not Harbaugh himself.

My guess would be they've been calling us primarily because we're one of the teams that already has an opening, not necessarily out of any affinity for the Panthers.

Does anyone think that Wilks would return as DC not head coach?

I know it may sound "insulting" to him, but let's be honest, outside of Carolina he has not had too much stability.  Arizona, Cleveland, and Missouri before he had the opportunity to come back home as a DB coach not even a coordinator.

Depending on the amount of openings he may or may not get another chance at anything above that position.  He's not going to Denver.  Anyone with a brain will stay far away from Indy.  I really don't think he'd be too keen to return to Arizona.

My preference to WIlks being the HC is because he has the locker room.  Finding that young offensive coach is great, but the young coach needs a solid voice in his ear.  Ron Riveria said the same thing as he began his career.  DO you think that Wilks would see that as a demotion if he was asked to mentor a young HC and be the DC?

Have you seen the record history of interm coaches becoming head coach? It's not pretty.

I think they should at least interview him, it would be insane not to. I like Wilks but he he is Rivera 2.0 and that won’t work. This is why I didn’t get my hopes up, Tepper is going to botch this so bad.

I keep seeing quotes and articles about the players backing Wilks, which is great, but they all backed Rhule too.

I will say this, I don’t trust Tepper to make a better hire than Wilks, so if he truly doesn’t want Harbaugh, then he could do way worse than Wilks.

The only way he'd might come back as DC is if we hired Ken Dorsey as HC or if Tepper pulls a Michael Jordan and rehires Ron Rivera.

My ideal would be Wilks with the duties of a DB Coach but an assistant head coach title.

I would prefer Frank Reich as an OC rather than HC

Either way I'd be happy.  I think he did a admirable job in Indy with an inept GM and a drunken stooge of an owner.

Caldwell has always given my .500 vibes as a HC.  He's not going to run a team into the ground, but he's not turning a team into perennial playoff contenders either.
