Coach - Steve Wilks thread

I think you just did! Thanks Fred.

Homepage:

"I'm sure time will tell," Warner said. "The fact that he has that background of coaching defensive backs and really being involved in that part of it, I know he wants to be hands on with those guys and tidy things up in the back end just from kind of seeing things this first couple of weeks of (offseason workouts). I know he wants us to be more aggressive.

"That's kind of been the thing. As I've been here more and grown in the system and seeing it progress, you see that we want to be more and more aggressive in the front seven. So, like I said, time will tell."

I think Wilks is going to be awesome and around for a while thankfully. He probably has half a chubby working with this roster.

If Wilks can't get a head coaching job, with the 2023 draft, next year, or the year after, I'll be upset.

I want him here 3 years and a successor groomed.

So it looks like Wilks likes longer press CB's, S's that play the ball well and all of the DB's and LB's he picked up rush the passer very well and can play multiple spots.

He's bringing the heat 🔥 from everywhere.

Yeah, I'd love for him to stay for 3 years, but not going to happen. Guy is making peanuts as a DC, when he can make ten times that (or more) as a HC, even if he sucks as a HC and only coaches for a year or two, he's financially set for the rest of his life. Plus I want those comp picks. If you have all the defensive talent that the 49ers have, you can put Fartsula back there as DC and you will have a top defense regardless.

If the OLine in the playoffs are going to hold, might as well zone blitz to get some added heat on the QB. Specially if the playoff refs aren't going to call penalties.

Exactly, we just lost Ryans (but we got a 3rd) and Saleh before that.

Absolutely. I went to the Draft Calculator in the WebZone draft threads and found out that a middle of the road 3rd round pick equals 5 fifth round picks. That's five possible all pros, considering how the 49ers generally do well in the 5th round in a typical draft. This years 5th rounders Beal and Luter look like possible all pros.

Go see the Falcons offense in 2017. It isn't easy.

I want 3 years so there's enough time to identify and groom a successor. Plus I'd like some continuity with our coaching staff and he has to be here 2 years in order for you to get picks.

Finally, he's the DC, not the defensive quality control coach. Meaning he isn't making peanuts lol. You also have to remember he had the full value of the Cardinals coaching contract. Of course he'd make substantially more as a HC, but my point is an NFL coordinator is very well compensated :).

I agree. Just kill the QB. I can't wait.

With all these pass rush players, Wilks has to feel like he's playing Madden.
