Based on what? 

What exactly makes Wilks better. Both coaches are over .500 in regular season. Wilks isn’t even close. I don’t particularly want either coach but not sure how you can say that with a straight face. Absolutely no statistics back up your claim. So are you just going off your gut?

So, they are interviewing the Tom Moore offensive circle (Jim Caldwell, Frank Reich). Expecting to see Freddie Kitchens, Marc Trestman, and Byron Leftwich next. Interesting how these offensive minds developed under Tom Moore have history with Steve Wilks and Al Holcomb as their defensive counterparts. Tom Moore currently is with Bruce Arians on the Buccaneers payroll.

Leftwich, Wilks, Christensen seems to be the direction this is going.

Tepper and his youth during the 70s and 80s watching those Steelers teams is apparent. Tepper wants a Tom Moore offense and a Tony Dungy defense, and it would not surprise me if he has been consulting with Dungy. Tepper continues to talk up and secure the coaching mentors of Byron Leftwich.

Wilks is .500 in the games he's coached this season but carry on.

Does Ben Johnson have an association there? Tepper has apparently had high interest in him as well.

Not Dungy/Moore Steelers line. Joe Philbin/Mike Sherman for Ben Johnson. Same line as Zac Taylor and Dan Campbell. The closest connection to Johnson would be McAdoo via Philbin. McAdoo and Philbin had a coaching relationship.

I guess but why not Ryans?  What are going to learn from Caldwell?

Ryan's might be busy with niners for a while.  Plus he might have more interest in another job.  So best to get those boxes checked early

Pretty much all of Johnson's pre-Lions resumé was spent with the Miami Dolphins. That is, except for three years (2009-2011) when he was working at Boston College.

Some kid named Kuechly was on the roster there at the time.

    • 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.
    • 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. 
    • 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.
