Steve Wilks was named the head coach of the Arizona Cardinals, on Monday. Wilks has spent 23 seasons as a coach, with the last 12 coming in the NFL. He most recently served on the Carolina Panthers coaching staff. Here is the reaction on social media to the hire:

Recently on vacation, a person walked up to #AZCardinals GM Steve Keim and introduced himself. On a beach in the Carolinas, Keim was blown away by this impressive dude. It was Panthers DC Steve Wilks... who Keim is expected to hire as his new head coach.

I LOVE IT.

The way Arizona hired Steve Wilks is the way teams should always do it. Interview a lot of people. Cast a wide net. Be genuine in your interests, open minded, then make your hire.

Heard nothing but good things about Steve Wilks, especially his commanding presence and leadership. Perfect for a veteran defensive team. #AZCardinals

"He was a coach during my time at Notre Dame. I thought he was extremely well disciplined and well organized. I think it's a solid hire."
