NFL Rumors: Steve Wilks Likely to Be 'Seriously Considered' for Panthers Full-Time HC

According to Ellis Williams of the Charlotte Observer, the Carolina panthers are "seriously" considering interim head coach Steve Wilks for the full-time job.

According to multiple sources with direct knowledge of the situation, Wilks is expected to be considered for the full-time job after the season.

He joined the Chicago Bears in 2006 after coaching in college for a decade. After six years as their secondary coach, the Carolinas hired Steve Wilks as their head coach.

In 2015, the team went 15-1 and won the National Football League title. His unit was known for forcing turnovers.

When Sean McDermott left to become the Buffalo Bills' head coach, he was promoted to the position of defensive coordinators. The Carolina football team went 11-5 and reached the playoffs.

After the team went 3-13 in his first season as head coach, the ArizonaCardinals decided to part ways with him.

He was given an incredibly difficult hand, which included struggles from a young quarterback and an offensive line that couldn't consistently open holes for a running game that averaged just 3.8 yards per attempt.

He was fired by Arizona after just one year after they didn't give him another chance.

The University of Missouri's DC, who was 53 years old at the time, went on to become the defensive pass game coach and secondary coach for the Carolina Hurricanes. After Matt Rhule was fired, he was promoted to interim head coach.

The Carolina panthers lost to the Atlanta Falcons in overtime in which they were on the verge of winning several times. Tom Brady and the Brady Bunch were defeated by the Carolinas.

Despite not having a long-term answer at quarterback, the Carolinas are playing hard for him. The next head coaching cycle will give him a chance.
