May be a dumb question, but is there any way Wilks stays on as DC?

Why just to make him feel good?

There are better candidates for that job as well.

And everywhere else he’s been

 

Reich is a veteran player and now coach who by all accounts is a good man and good coach respected around the league. The locker room full of players that haven’t won anything in 5 years has to earn his respect. Not the other way around

I don't think we should expect an Andy Reid type. Reid has been insanely successful no matter where he has been(only 7 of 24 seasons with less than 10 wins).

It would be nice but that is a pretty crazy bar to hit.

I really wasn't big on Reich and didn't know much about him so I have no idea what to think here. Hope he is our Andy Reid or turns out to be. He should at bare minimum know how to develop a QB since he was one at a high level.

...at least the Colts gave him an opportunity...unlike Wilks in AZ n now NC...smh 

Wilks had his shot and went 6-6 with a poo schedule. 

We got blown the fug out by the actual good team we played in the Bengals. 

The defense regressed and the offense was stale and predictable. 

Wilks has had more than enough shots in the NFL, maybe he can find a spot on his old buddy MoRons staff.

It’s like people forgot how much a downgrade he was from McDermott…

After the Rhule fiasco, I can understand Tepper's reluctance to swing for the fences with a young OC hire.  Seeing the Panthers return to a level where they're competitive every week regardless of whom their opponent happens to be would be a good first step.  Perhaps finally achieving the elusive back-to-back winning seasons would be a worthwhile goal?

Panthers announce they have hired Frank Reich, who took the first snap in team history.
The former Colts coach becomes the first head coach in Panthers' history with a strictly offensive background.

Wasn’t Seifert an offensive guy?

Wilks said Holcomb is his DC if he was hired, that should have been an insta-no

Team moral just dip -10...

 

Wilks > Reich...hope he proves me wrong. 

Wilks had the players respect...Reich going have to earn it.

Did Reich ever find his QB in Indy...sounds a bit like Rhule...Wentz/Darnold...Baker/Matt Ryan..

And I hope Wilks gets a HC shot somewhere else, and make the playoffs...and watch the huddle meltdown when we go 5-11 the next three years...lol

watch he sign Daniel Jones....

Is that you Chuck? Confirmed Reich was the right hire if you hate it

Let’s go Fangio!!

Wilks is already a subpar DC as is, and people wanted him as HC with an even worse DC than he is......

I really dont get the Wilks love.

Nope:

After working as an assistant at the University of Iowa, the University of Oregon, and Stanford University,^[6] Seifert was hired as head coach at Cornell University. He was fired after going 3–15 in two seasons.^[7] He then returned to Stanford in 1977, where he met Bill Walsh. When Walsh moved to the 49ers in 1979, Seifert joined his coaching staff the following year as the team's defensive backs coach. Seifert was promoted to defensive coordinator in 1983.

As a 49er assistant, Seifert defenses finished in the top ten in fewest points allowed in each of his six seasons in that capacity: fourth in 1983, first in 1984, second in 1985, third in 1986 and 1987, and eighth in 1988. His final two defenses, 1987 and 1988, finished first and third in fewest yards allowed, respectively.
