I wouldn’t be crushed if he was fired or rehired. I will say that “if” he does stay on for 2023 he’s going to have to go all in on upgrading the offense in the off-season.
 

1) We need a new and creative OC. I know our receiving core isn’t  stellar, but at times McAdoo just seems to lack the ability to scheme guys open. Sam could complete 5 passes today…and it really wasn’t his fault. Most of the guys were blanketed all day

2) QB play has go to improve which means we have to get another one or Wilks has to order a guy who can work a miracle with Darnold or Corrall while we develop whoever we draft this season.

3) We need a reliable receiver, possibly even a #1, to play opposite DJ. I don’t care if he comes via the draft , trade, or FA…just get one.

4) A pass catching threat at TE. If we had a guy who could catch  48-60 receptions per season it would do wonders forour offense.

5) As some of you pointed out he can no longer be Ron Rivera 2.0. He needs to play to win on offense,  not play to lose.

“IF” all the above occurred this off season I’d be all in on bringing Wilks back because we would actually have a chance to win the NFC South.

PS..think about this, If we had Andy Dalton as our starter once Steve took over I think we would have made the playoffs.

Can't count his time at Arizona. Didn't get to pick his coaches, or draft picks and got stuck with Rosen because of that.

In terms of building a culture, I feel Wilks is who Tepper thought he was getting when he hired Rhule. That said, Wilks like Rhule needs a strong supporting cast around him to be a difference maker. The defense regressed after he took over and that was supposed to be his strong suit. 

I'd really need to know what his plan is at OC and DC before being fully on board with him coming back.

Wanting Wilks is no different than asking Tepper to bring back Fox or Rivera for a round 2.  
 

i don’t want the course correction from the Rhule error to be Carolina going right back to an old school DC mindset.  It’s an offensive league.  We need a modern era HC and a QB.

I want him if our only other options are Reich or  Caldwell

The regular season isn’t over yet so I suspect it will take a while to line up all the folks to interview. I think a lot of people jumped to panic mode when this was announced but there is a strong probability we will interview several other candidates.

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
