The Carolina Panthers officially hired Frank Reich as their new head coach on Thursday following an exhaustive search. Reich, who was fired by the Indianapolis Colts at midseason, is considered one the NFL’s top offensive minds.
But while Reich may end up being a good hire, a strong case could be made that interim coach Steve Wilks deserved the job. Wilks replaced Matt Rhule after Carolina’s 1-4 start and led the team to a 6-6 record despite trading away both RB Christian McCaffrey and WR Robbie Anderson.
