Wilks replaces DeMeco Ryans, who is now the #Texans' head coach, and lands in an ideal spot. pic.twitter.com/vyOwVu0QPE

Awesome. Welcome Steve Wilks. Hopefully he excels at the job. Given his history it would be highly likely that he doesn't get poached even if he is great.

Seems like a real good hire. I thought the #1 guy out there between all the candidates.

He's certainly more established and experienced than either Saleh or Ryans when they took the DC job. Looking like a solid move.

I like his experience and how CAR players had nice things to say about him.

We'll see. This should be the best collection of talent he's had to work with. Hope he helps us get over the hump and win it all.
