49ers fired him bc he was not doing very good for them. 

So according to you can only be good as a DC if you win the SB.

 

I guess you think the Chiefs have the only good DC in football.

Steve is one hell of a DB coach. 

 

I just heard UNC needs a HC and Steve loves NC......why not?!?!?

Love Wilks. I thought he was a better secondary coach than a DC though. And a better Head Coach than DC too. They are all different jobs. 

Probably the best comment in the thread

He was the scapegoat because Shanahan failed as the OC. The defense wasn’t the issue in San Fran. Scoring defense is how the best defenses are rated. How stingy is our defense when it comes to  giving uppoints.  San Fran was #3 in total defense last year behind the Ravens and Chiefs. This year they tied for 20.

 

While I didn’t like him as our DC I think it’s fair to say he got a raw deal as HC here and DC there.

49erd fired him because he was the scapegoat for Shannahan failing to win the Big game.

 

Looks like they miss Wilks on defense if you ask me. But I guess they improved without Wilks in your mind lol

 

 

Gawd I love this place!

There's a lot of moving parts on teams. Having lost CMC and Aiyuk for most of the year and having Kittle and his usual injury bug, the offense has taken some hits. 

The defense hasn't done as well, but I also remember him getting called out for running such a predictable defense, so much so that Shanahan had to take over calling defense. 

From the outside in, he appears to be a players coach, but he was still not my choice if we went defensive head coach. My choice is currently in Houston. Neither here nor there at this point.

I’ve heard from multiple people that he is difficult to work with. As someone who’s been fired from multiple jobs when I knew I was smarter than my boss, I get it.

he got screwed in Arizona, he should have been hired in Carolina after the 2022 season, and he got screwed in SF

if horn didn’t break his arm in a freak injury, panthers hold on to the lead in Tampa, make the playoffs, extend Wilks and Darnold, keep Moore, draft Jalen Carter, and we’re currently in year two of the Pax Pantera. 

instead we spent two drafts of picks on a guy who’s best game is league average by any metric. That’s great

He did a good job. He was the scapegoat for yet another choke. Their defense has regressed significantly this year.

Only Wilks can turn an appreciation thread into a hate thread.

 

What did this guy do to people that his name just pisses people off?

 

He's genuinely more hated than Frank and Rhule lol.

Dude, Matt Rhule is more hated than any non-Tepper person in the last decade. People do under-appreciate Steve, but I'm not one of them.

Kittles is having a productive year. He missed two games, but he has the most fantasy points from a tight end by a significant margin. Ryans didn’t want to come to Carolina.  He declined the interview. Some coaches (especially former players) have league connections.  I like Canales but I think we would have been further along as an organization if we kept Wiks.

Well I'm not talking to you obviously. 

[flagfootballcoach28]

Good guy. Good coach. I think he could’ve done well here but I’m happy with Canales
