ESPN senior NFL reporter Jeremy Fowler:

“As the logic goes, the Panthers knew they had [Steve] Wilks as a prime candidate with a defensive background, so they went heavy on offense with the rest of the pool,” Fowler writes. “Wilks has a solid offensive staff to sell David Tepper, to be sure. But multiple people I’ve spoken to around the league think the young coordinators have their advantages for a QB-starved franchise. Frank Reich is interviewing for the head-coaching job but could end up a strong coordinator candidate.”

From Albert Breer's latest mailbag...

From Greg (@panther1gb89): Gut feeling today...who does Tepper hire in Carolina?

Greg, I think it’ll either be defensive coordinator Steve Wilks or a young offensive coach (which is where owner David Tepper was focusing his research after firing Matt Rhule in October). And which way this goes rides on how the process goes.

My belief is that Tepper knows the sentiment in the building and will take it into account, with the locker room solidly behind Wilks, and Wilks being as respected as can be in the organization as a whole and with the fan base. He’s from the area, went 6–6 with a team that looked hopeless at 1–4, and built an identity on the fly, re-emphasizing fundamentals in-season and putting together an overpowering run game. All that happened, by the way, with the team having dealt away its best player [Christian McCaffrey].

So I think this is Tepper fighting his best-laid plans against a feeling that Wilks is probably the right guy to hire. And so it’d seem that Wilks’s plan to build on what he accomplished over the past three months, and in particular what he’ll do on offense (I’ve mentioned Philly’s Brian Johnson as a potential coordinator candidate) will be key, if Wilks is going to convince Tepper not to go with Johnson, Dorsey or Steichen.

We'll see who's right...Fowler and Graziano think Wilks' candidacy is "losing steam" while Breer thinks Wilks will end up being the hire. I did laugh at him saying "it'll be Wilks or a young offensive guy"...like yeah, no poo, look at the interview list.

Yeah, that was a "no sh-t" kind of answer 😄

This sentiment is all over the web. It's so annoying. It's a pity party I feel like. It's simply not true if we want a Lombardi. He looked better than Rhule and was 6-6. Great job for us this year. But it's not someone we need long term as HC with the way this league is trending.
