Wilks back in Charlotte...as a volunteer - Ladypanther - 08-03-2024
Steve Wilks, the NFL coach who attended West Charlotte and recently coached the Carolina Panthers, is volunteering with the Charlotte 49ers’ football team as an untitled advisor, head coach Biff Poggi said at the opening practice of training camp on Friday. Wilks’ role with Charlotte is voluntary, a team spokesperson confirmed to the Observer. “Steve Wilks is gonna be with us,” Poggi said Friday. “Not official now. You talk about great wisdom and advisors. So we brought in some experience.” Biff Poggi announced that former Panthers coach Steve Wilks will be an unofficial advisor for the Charlotte 49ers. Poggi added that Wilks’ advisory role is “untitled,” and confirmed that the longtime NFL assistant will be “around.” The former Appalachian State defensive back and longtime NFL assistant was the defensive coordinator for the San Francisco 49ers last year and guided them to their appearance in Super Bowl LVII.

Crazy that Wilks does not have an NFL job. I don't think he was treated fairly in SF. He had the DC title but was told he had to run someone else's defense. He became Shanny's scapegoat. Lost respect for Shanny. The mess was his fault and he fired Wilks.
