I Think it Should Be Wilks...

Did you see our DB's on the roster?

 

Kind of hard to make adjustments when our #1 and #2 cb were out injured. I remember browsing the sub during that time and people were saying we were going to get burned with our DB's.

 

Wilks is not perfect but people act like he didn't have us looking like a totally different team after Rhule. He put us in position to make the playoffs. If we had one of our starting DB's we probably win that game honestly.

Yeah but you have to make an attempt to slow them down. To not only keep allowing it to happen but also electing not to go for it on fourth and short all with the playoffs on the line and knowing you need to get in to strengthen your chances to become the permanent head coach. Just not a good look. And people are giving him props for going 6-6 like that's all we're shooting for here. Simply being better than Rhule is not the bar for our next head coach.

So a 1 game sample is your proof?

 

Cmon man stop it. 

Then he benched him for Sam?? You were just complaining about Sam being the reason they had to run so much. Wilks benched Baker for Sam then released him in which Baker looked immediately better on a new team within 24 hours. You know all of this….

If you are down CBs you probably shouldn’t leave your backups on an island against Evans, especially after they beat that CB on the same play for 3 separate TDs. Roll the damn safety over there to double him.

You are having to make a lot of excuses. I just don’t want the same old Fox/Rivera Panthers. Hell Wilks learned under Rivera…

He didn't have a full offseason as the HC.

He took over almost mid season.

 

What interim coach has a winning record that coached more than 12 games?

Interim coaches in general by and large have not been successful when given the permanent role I think there are one or two exceptions.

He made Sam look better than what Baker has looked with the Rams.

 

Bro what are you talking about?

Not making excuses.

 

Im just saying I wouldn't be upset if he was our HC. The situation he was dealt he did a damn good job imo. This team was headed towards the #1 pick before he became coach. Lets not forget how bad we were before Wilks got the job. Just sayin...

You have a direct comparison. Baker with Wilks looked worse than Baker (same player) looked with a new team in 24 hours. Sam didn’t get to play for another team this year to compare.

He is 1000 times better than Rhule. No one is arguing that.

Wilks would likely be on a VERY short leash and would most likely get a 3 year contract and be expected to make the playoffs soon. 
He would pretty much be a “bridge” HC unless he somehow proved he could be more.  
Because it is obvious that Wilks is not the HC Tepper wants and if Wilks is hired it is because everything fell through and Wilks is the only option available. 
Meaning I expect Reich to be hired before Wilks is.

Bro he played 1 game. You sound crazy.

 

You judging coaches off 1 game tells me all I need to know. You never wanted Wilks and that's fine to admit.

That may be true. Im not debating that.

 

Im just saying if Wilks is indeed the fallback option we are not in bad shape. He proved he's not a bad coach.

He chose to bench him after 1 game not me. That was his call. I’m just saying after he looked like ass and was benched by Wilks he was released and immediately looked better with a different HC.

I believe Wilks will eventually get a head coaching job some time in the future, although it may take another year or two.

I don't think he is presently Tepper's first choice for the Panthers head coaching position.
