That's the main thing about Wilks, like he taught me a lot, he kind of just like fit into that father role for me. He's just a genuine person."

Sounds like DeMeco.

Good Lord.
I wonder if Hacksaw Reynolds, Ronnie Lott or Fred Dean ever needed Chuck Studley to show them the dad-feelings in order to win a super bowl.

We have three years of evidence of what a "Steve Wilks defense" looks like. He spent one year in charge of the defense at Carolina (2017), Arizona (2018) and Cleveland (2019). His defense finished in the top four in the NFL blitz rate all three seasons, according to Football Outsiders.

Imagine what he could do with Hufanga on his perfect timed blitzes.

I didn't know he was from Texas. Possible reason to sign there.

To be a make believe DC? Ryans is running that defense, much like Kyle is running our offense.

I say give him a little pay raise and let's back to work. I mean if he really wants to be a DC, you'd have to imagine he would have had interviews prior (or said he actually did).

this would be poaching at its finest. Give him a title and not the actual job

Kocurek has always said he doesn't want to be a DC. Ryans tells him > Kris, come with me back to Texas. I'll make you the DC, huge pay increase & new title, but the best part is I'll do all the game plans and make the game day calls. You just work the DL, as usual.
You're right, this is poaching, totally against the NFL rules and probably too much extra on Ryans. Still worries me

In that case the 49ers wouldn't have to allow the interview happen. Interviews are only mandated for head coach, actual playcalling positions or an actual general manager position with personnel authority.
