I keep seeing the media say that the fans want Wilks back. I don’t think that is accurate. I mean, look at the results of this poll for example. 

Wilks not willing to go for it on 4th and 1 while having nothing to lose and everything to gain?

Yeah, a coach who is that conservative isn't getting the Panthers to the promised land.

Hard pass.

I gave him a B due to the QB's he was given. But as far as a head coach goes he is another John Fox/Ron Rivera mold of head coach. The league has passed these coaches by years ago. The majority of the people who want him to be the head coach are led by emotions instead of logic because he has local roots. That doesn't make a successful head coach sorry.

Not sure how you can give the guy a B the way our defense lost the game last week…on the same damn go route 3 times. 

I think the problem is we didn’t have our top 2 CB’s. Had we doubled Evans then Godwin would have shredded us. 
 

I think they calculated the best bet to win a given situation was to hope Henderson could win a few downs without the scheme catering to him. 
 

I understand it cost us, but it might have been the only strategy we had.

I gave him a B because he’s playing with somebody else players tweaking somebody else’s system and cleaning up somebody else’s mess..

Yup. He managed a 50% win rate with someone else's garbage, even when that idiot only managed to win 20% of the time with his own system.

    • I think it was less Tepper mandating it and more Tepper finally relenting and allowing it. I've always maintained that I think what caused Reich to be fired midseason was likely him going to Tepper and saying something along the lines of "Either let me play Dalton and five this team a chance to compete or just go ahead and fire me now."
    • I honestly think it was a mutual, collective decision. Canales might have been hired to be the Panthers head  coach because he was the best chance to get Bryce where he needed to be to succeed and did everything...I mean he and Morgan did EVERYTHING possible to create a successful situation for Bryce. And it was obvious... painfully obvious that not only was it not working, the team was losing and it was effecting everything. Canales was hired because they thought he could help Bryce, but he was hired as the PANTHERS head coach, not Bryce's personal coach. If everyone could see this was failing far beyond what anyone could have and it didn't look like it was anything that could be fixed quickly....then that everyone who could see would have to include Canales himself who is responsible for not just Bryce, but the whole damn team has to have looked at what it was doing to the team and their chances to win and said, we have to choose what is best for Bryce or the Panthers. He came in and said he had no personal attachment to any player, and that means he has no personal attachment to Bryce. He's going to do what is best to help the team win. If that means benching Bryce, then that's what he's going to do. Did he make this call without Teppers blessing or input? Hell no. Did they come into the Monday meeting having both come to the same conclusion regarding Bryce? I would have a hard time arguing that wasn't the case. All in leadership has to have seen it wasn't just not working...it was killing the team and they had to make this switch for the betterment of the team soon or else lose the season completely. No way would Canales had bern campaigning for Bryce to stay in there. He's not that dumb. Sometimes regardless of the work you do, you have to realize when it's futile and the earlier you recognize it, the better off you will be.
