It is only the most recent in a lengthy string of “one and done stints” for Wilks with different NFL teams. He was brought on as the Arizona Cardinals head coach in 2018, however, he was let go after just one season, going 3-13. He joined the Cleveland Browns in 2019 as their defensive coordinator but was fired in 2020 when Kevin Stefanski became head coach.
Wilks returned to higher education in 2021, taking a position at Missouri as defensive coordinator. He made a comeback to the NFL in 2022, this time with the Carolina Panthers as their secondary coach and coordinator of the defensive passing game. He was appointed head coach in an acting capacity later that season following Matt Rhule’s dismissal.
Rather, Kyle Shanahan hired him to be the 49ers’ defensive coordinator. Although his defense undoubtedly contributed to the team’s Super Bowl run, it was insufficient to win. He thus finds himself unemployed once more.
