Trading for Sean Payton vs Settling for Steve Wilks

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

My gut feeling, with Johnson's withdraw is that its gonna come down to this.

On one hand, you have the "fug it, lets just go to Chili's, I don't care anymore" head coach hire in Steve Wilks. Might make a playoff appearance here and there, but divisional round at best. On the other hand you have the bounty man himself and frequent Walgreens shopper Sean Payton, and you have to give the Saints draft pick(s) to get him. But he'd arguably be the best HC in Panthers history.

Who do you pick

If Wilks wasn’t the interim coach, we wouldn’t even give him an interview.

Teams aren't interested at ALL. I'd thought he'd get a RR interview for like the Texans or something lol

this seems like my worst case scenario.  And I think Payton is just using us.  Nor do I want him. 

I don't want an old school DC.  That's Wilks.  Too conservative.  You can't change it. 

and Payton is horrible.  He is Sean Payton.

Maybe we go full Hornets and trade for Ron lol

Don't want either...but Wilks would be a step back.

lol that would be the most charlotte sports thing ever to bring back sh*tty former coaches in BOTH the sports here. At least Clifford is leading the tank train for Wemby. Luck out in the lottery to get him and bring Miles back next year with a new HC and the Hornets could actually be good for the first time in forever.

I vote Sean Payton.  However, if there is a 3rd option for a proven coach, I might go that route to save draft choices.

as a Saints fan, I know that he can make the Panthers a powerhouse.  Especially if he brings in Taysom Hill.

Man, this city deserves Wemby.  

As crazy as it sounds, he'd be an even bigger star than Cam Newton.  Potential to be the greatest Charlotte pro player ever.  Prayers that he can stay healthy at his size though.

 

Knowing our luck though I bet we don't get him.

I think we will settle for Sean Payton and then trade for him

I can actually root for a team coached by Steve Wilks. Can't say the same for a team coached by Sean Payton. So yeah, no brainer. I'd take Wilks all day everyday in this scenario.
