So how do we judge Wilks if he only gets 1 opportunity?

 

 

 

I didn’t argue against Wilks, I argued against you saying Frank had a losing record.

Anybody with half of a brain cell could tell that the situation in Arizona was fuged for Wilks from the beginning. Hard to hold his time there against him. His time here last season, if anything, is a much more accurate representation of what he can accomplish.

Granted, that vision might be a bit dated given the offense. But Hell, if Rivera can be x2 COTY then Wilks could at least put together a competent 3 - 5 year stretch as a head coach somewhere.

Not at all surprised the Cardinals are a complete dumpster fire of an organization. Up until recently we haven't had much room to judge though. And we're still waiting to see if we've turned the corner. As for Wilks no other team interviewed him for their head coaching vacancy. You could argue it was a coordinated effort to keep him out based on his pending legal efforts toward the league. But even though it's bullshit and I think the owners are mostly scumbags you have to acknowledge the likelihood that him airing this dirty laundry out means he will probably never get another look.

Anywho for anyone who is passionate about this discussion I'm sure you can find some folks willing to engage on the 49ers message boards. Since he coaches for them now and all.

Should have been our HC. That's a story for another day.

 

 

All love for Wilks. That guy made me interested in Panthers football again. I swear I was losing interest under Rhule.

Should have been. Everyone here wanted an offensive coach and that's what they got, including Tepper. Still not sold on Reich being the guy.

Last season my man.

 

If we judging Wilks on his last stint, im just doing the same for Frank.

 

Understand now?

I understand what you are typing, but not why you would think like that. Picking just one year out if a five year period to try to prove some kind of point is really weird. 
 

A five year offensive HC will always be preferred in this league over a somewhat unknown conservative defensive coach. I think Wilks is a great man and I hope he gets a chance eventually, but this is an odd comparison.

Wilks lost the job as a result of that TB game.  One of the worst single game coaching jobs that I can remember.

Then Bengals as well and the Saints game which they totally threw for us

Did you watch the Bengals game bud? I liked Wilks personally but the passage of time seems to have made for some fuzzy memories.

Yeah, all bad.  The TB game was a win and in type scenario basically.  Wilks constantly left Henderson on an island giving Evans his best game of the year.  And punted the ball twice on 4th and a foot from midfield.

49ers have the best DL in the NFL, wilks will be back in demand.

steve is just like RR, he wants to win every game 23-21. with all the roofs and rules for Offense, thats a super hard strategy to follow each week. Plus its taking alonger for winter to start, you got to pass the ball.

Damn Bill B had a loosing season last year. Picking the one season he wasn’t allowed to finish or pick who starts at QB seems a little extreme. They were 3-5-1 with Reich and 1-7 without him last year.

I don’t think Reich is some elite HC, but he is a much better coach to develop Young which is priority 1 for this franchise. He also put together a great looking staff which I’m more excited about than the Reich hire itself. We tried a defensive conservative HC with Fox, then tried it again with Ron, I didn’t want to try it a third time and expect any different results.

i think frank had a new QB each year during his time at indy, plus image having a super ego rich crackhead as your boss.... indy is a bottom 5 org.

Now you see what it feels like when people say Wilks doesn't deserve to be a HC.

 

1 bad season with a bad team does not make his career.

 

 

well then teams should be lined up to interview him then right?

Right but the 49ers are stacked and have had about half a dozen first rounders to build that d line with.

Well that's unfortunate because like Rivera even the defense which is supposed to be the bread and butter of both left a lot to be desired the last time we saw them coaching for us.

I've eviscerated Tepper for the clown show he's overseen with Matt Rhule but I cannot blame him for opting to go with an offensive minded head coach this time.
