We know how Carolina Panthers players (both past and present) feel about Steve Wilks. But how do they feel about what went down on Thursday?
According to Joe Person of The Athletic, the guys who are currently employed by the organization are understanding of and excited over the hiring of Frank Reich—even at the expense of the beloved Wilks. And Panthers of the past . . . ?
Well, here are some reactions to the move from a few former players.
#FrankReich as new #CarolinaPanthers coach… I love it! Great man and great coach which will yield great results! #GoPanthers #KeepPounding

Coach Wilks still deserves to be a head coach! Hope he gets his opportunity!

I thought the Panthers were going to keep Coach Wilks! He is a great head coach and leader.
But the hire of Coach Frank is huge! He is going to do a great job in Carolina. Having an offensive minded head coach makes sense considering the current state of the franchise.
