This kind of feeling toward wilks is unfair
He was the scapegoat, a man left alone to handle something bigger then him
he was just a bad fit
But i appreciated he has been always professional and classy answering to the tough questions

After that skins game I knew this was going to be a long season. Many were like “it’s just one game” but you could just tell. I told my girlfriend after that game we are going to be one of the worst teams in the league .

3-13 didn't get him fired. It was the lack of competitiveness and what was going on behind the scenes. I would imaging there will be a lot more that comes out about it in the future.

And you can't forget the never crossing midfield game in week #2.

Yep. Just unbelievable that any professional football team in the modern era could possibly do that. Especially when the rules so favor the offense. Back in the 70’s when the rules favored the D, the Cardinals would have crossed midfield about 10 times ALL season.

I disagree. A "leader of men" doesn't blame his team and everyone else for losing. You take responsibility even if you are not at fault. Thats what real leaders do. Even backup QBs know this. He almost ran our pro bowl CB out of town. But his system works right? Screw that guy.

You can’t blame Wilks for not looking a gift horse in the mouth. Shame on MB for putting the Rooney Rule above vetting this guy more closely. I’m sure that no one could have envisioned how badly this season would go. That doesn’t mean Wilks is a bad person. He seems to be a good man, and if given the same opportunity, we would all try to cash in as a HC in the NFL.

You are claiming that Wilks was only hired because he was black? 100% not racist.

I don't think the that is accurate at all and i doubt you have proof.
