I can't see Wilks coming back even if we offered 

Absolutely not. Dude probably wouldn’t come back to head coach. Dude clearly holds a grudge and I complete respect it

Yeah it’s very unlikely. I think he may get a job in the NCAA somewhere.

Wilks

I may be entirely wrong but I don't really remember Wilks being a great DC when he took over the defense.   I believe he took over after Snow was fired and our defense regressed a lot?  Maybe I'm misremembering though.

But honestly I also doubt they let him go. They prob give him another season 

His contract is up at the end of the year.

Tepper insisted on the 3 4 whrn Ron was here and that defense has sucked ever since

i cant see anyone hiring Evero

i heard a respected pod caster talking about how denver’s defense took a step back when evero was there 

he didnt have a lot to work with this year and every team  deals either injuries but for  the love of God, a safety on Lamb…what are you doing  

Cardinals could  put up monstrous run yards With Murray alone 

add to it, the depleted cowboys gave the scheme of how to beat the panthers offense 

add to it, a safety on Harrison jr

I got an interesting name and long shot. 

Steve Clinkscale, with Michigan ties and there’s a few Wolverines at the top of the draft.

Steve Clinkscale

DEFENSIVE BACKS Los Angeles Chargers 
 

Biography 

A 23-year coaching veteran at the collegiate level, Steve Clinkscale comes to Los Angeles to coach defensive backs after a three-season tenure as secondary coach at the University of Michigan (2021-23). He added co-defensive coordinator responsibilities last season, helping lead the top-ranked defense in college football, allowing just 247.0 total net yards per game as the Wolverines posted a 15-0 record and finished by winning the College Football Playoff National Championship. Prior to his time at Michigan, Clinkscale coached defensive backs at the University of Kentucky for five seasons (2016-20) and at the University of Cincinnati for three seasons (2013-15), adding defensive coordinator responsibilities for the Bearcats his final season. He got his start in coaching as defensive backs coach at his alma mater, Ashland University, from 2001-07 before coaching defensive backs at Western Carolina in 2008. Clinkscale then spent three seasons at Toledo (2009-11) as cornerbacks coach/special teams coordinator before coaching cornerbacks at Illinois in 2012.

I understand there is no relationship with Steve Clinkscale, but if we are targeting any of his former players in the draft, it wouldn’t hurt to have a conversation with him. See if he has any interest. 
 

I have a hard time believing we are gonna land a big name coordinator in Charlotte. Might as well explore all avenues.

When Wilks took over as HC he promoted Al Holcomb to DC. Holcomb struggled and Wilks had to babysit him. We also only had like 3 position coaches on the whole team. With Ben McAdoo pretty much doing everything on Offense. 

Wilks took over as DC in 2017 after McDermott took the Buffalo job. Defense finished 7th I think that year. For what it's worth his Defense in San Francisco finished 3rd last year and Shanahan still fired him.
