WELP.
The Carolina Panthers have hired Missouri defensive coordinator Steve Wilks as defensive pass game coordinator/secondary coach.
Mizzou will have a third different DC under Eli Drinkwitz in 2022.— Dave Matter (@Dave_Matter) February 9, 2022If you’re Steve Wilks, this opportunity freaking rocks. He won’t have to recruit, he’ll probably have a similar salary, he’ll back in his home state, and he’ll a chance to possibly try and work his way back up the NFL ladder. The college fit was a clunky one in his one season, but there was some optimism after the defense turned a corner late in the year after they appeared to be fully bought into - and finally understand - the scheme and the message of Wilks.
