Panthers Head Coach - “Race” BS

Jan 26, 2023, 4:52 PM

Wilks lawyers made a statement. He was the interim head coach but was not named the permanent head coach (they hired Reich).

"We are shocked and disturbed that the incredible job Coach Wilks did as the interim coach, including bringing the team back into Playoff contention and garnering the support of players and fans, that he was passed over for the Head Coach position by David Tepper.

"There is a legitimate race problem in the NFL and we can assure you that we will have more to say in the coming days.''


So, now everytime someone doesn’t get a job it’s racial? It can’t be remotely possible that another candidate was a better choice?

What if one black candidate is hired over another. Is the “rejected” black candidate a victim of race?

Is the fact that Wilks was already an employee, as a black man, and named interim head coach, as a black man, completely irrelevant? His original employment is ignored because he wasn’t promoted so now there’s a race problem?

What a complete crock.

The lawyer is a prime example of racism itself. His client should have been hired because of his race. Not because someone else had better qualifications and maybe a better interview.

I don’t keep up with the NFL but you’re saying this serves the “woke” owner right for catching grief for passing on a black guy???

I believe Wilks should have got the job, not because of the color of his skin, but because he did an excellent job in the interim.

It's still absurd BS to claim that the reason he didn't get it was because of race. It's an easy accusation to throw around.

Agree tattedcop. I'm not a Panthers fan, but I do believe Wilks should have been given a chance based on his performance after Rhule was fired. It's not like the Panthers are loaded with talent and the team responded to him.

Unless there is a lot of player turnover, there could be some lingering resentment and this has a chance to not turnout well for the Panthers.

Well the first paragraph of the lawyer’s statement is spot on lol. Hiring a coach that was also fired midseason (like Rhule) is a bad look. Wilks did a great job and it’s hard to convince a lot of folks that Reich is the better candidate RIGHT NOW.

As far as race is concerned, there is an overwhelming shortage of minority HCs. Ironically, I believe the Rooney Rule has made this worse. It’s disingenuous to interview someone that you know you won’t hire before they even walk in. Pointing out race post-hiring process does not help matters.

I do think things will change within the next few years, due to more former notable players getting into coaching now. The NFL is a copycat league and Demeco Ryans getting a HC job (which is highly likely) could start somewhat of a wave. Even Jerod Mayo probably would’ve gotten a HC job this cycle but Belichick didn’t want to lose him. Both of these guys are highly coveted because of their character and football mind, not race.

I would think interim is a tougher gig versus traditional head coach to get players attention since you have to get players attention and they look at you as a short timer and may resist. But who knows. I think an interim who turns it around would be a good candidate for HC somewhere

Let’s keep it real. The Panthers hired a guy that was fired this year over a guy that took a broken team as an interim coach, won the locker room, and put the team in playoff contention. What else did Wilks need to do to win that job?

Reich should have never been fired. The Colts meddling owner Irsay is an idiot that needs to get his hands off the football inner workings. FR is a good hire, plus you have to be careful sometimes when hiring the interim. It's worked out for Clemson but, a lot of times it doesn't. Teams generally get an emotional and fiery boost after their head coach is fired. Could be why they played better. IDK. Maybe, Reich impressed more and had a more impressive plan going forward in the multiple interviews both candidates had.
Just a thought.

I’m afraid it’s the world we live in now. I work for a large health system, and if a minority isn’t selected for a leadership role, then it’s racism. Historical Institutional and structural racism are the terms people like to throw around and use to justify hiring decisions which is really based on race anymore… which isn’t that reverse racism??? Not to them, it’s equity. I’m blessed to be a leader in my organization, and I really mean it when I say this, I want the best person for the job; but I wish I had a dollar for every time I hear another leader say “let’s hire so and so, they’re diverse.” If the person is the best and they happen to be black or yellow then I have no problem. But you’re actually doing a disservice to the company, the person more deserving, and the person who is less prepared for the role. All that said, I think Wilks was the best man for the job and I think the Panthers made a mistake. It wasn’t racist, he was the interim head coach and was given a great opportunity. He did a good job and will have more opportunities because of what he accomplished.

Frank Reich is a good choice IMO. A very high-character guy who is a good offensive mind.

It isn't a negative to me that a complete fruitcake of an owner (Jim Irsay) fired Reich during the season.

Tepper won’t have a problem here. The Panthers have not been able to get the QB position right since Cam started to have a rag arm. Reich is an offensive mind and is thought to be an excellent developer of QBs. The Panthers will be likely using a first round pick to draft Richardson or Levis who are not out of the box ready to succeed at the NFL level. Neither of them were elite SEC quarterbacks. Reich also has a winning record as an NFL Head Coach.

Steve Wills is a defensive coach who has a NFL career Head Coaching record of 9-19. A record that was propped up by going 6-6 with the Panthers this year in the putrid NFC South.

I don’t like the Panthers or Tepper. Wilks might be a good NFL Head Coach someday, Having lawyers play the race card when there are legitimate reasons to hire Reich over him may prevent that unless there is some smoking gun memo that is blatantly racist by Tepper.

Quit pulling for the Panthers when Tepper bought the team. We had quite the ordeal with a high ranking Tepper employee at the ACC championship while tailgating beside the practice facility. Long story but it got pretty heated. We live in York County and not many I know care for the guy. Still building the bridge over 77 but no one knows where it’s going to lead you.
