The Rams have begun the search for their next head coach, reportedly interviewing Panthers assistant head coach/defensive backs coach Steve Wilks for the position on Tuesday. Here are three nuggets to help you get to know one of Los Angeles’ candidates.
1) Has helped lead the Panthers’ defense since 2012
Wilks is a longtime defensive backs coach, having held the position with Carolina since head coach Ron Rivera’s second season in 2012. In that time, Wilks has built a unit that finished in the top 10 in pass defense twice, including last year’s Super Bowl run.
