Steve Wilks might not have gotten the head coaching job for the Carolina Panthers. But what he did end up getting isn’t exactly the worst consolation prize out there.
As first reported by NFL Network insider Tom Pelissero on Tuesday afternoon, Wilks is set to be hired as the next defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers. This’ll be Wilks’ third stint in the position, with prior experience for the Panthers in 2017 and the Cleveland Browns in 2019.
