Realistically, what is the future of Shula?

Obviously several changes need to take place this offseason regarding the offense, and of course, changes will be made from the personnel side as always. From reading this forum, it is clear that amongst us fans, Shula is no longer wanted here by most and a change at the OC position would be welcoming and a fresh start. The question is, how is Shula viewed within the organization and not just the fans? One thing I kept thinking about as this season appeared to be going down the drain was "at least we'll have a new OC (likely HC also) at the helm next season!" Well hell if we didn't (and to my joy) get on a hot streak to end the season and win a playoff game. Winning is always a good thing, I don't give a damn if we're 2-12 at the time. But, I want Shula gone and I don't believe he should be given credit one bit for this streak at the end of the season based off past performance... Plus our offense didn't improve substantially. The defensive side of the ball is mostly to credit..

 

Will the Panthers have the balls to let Shula go even after a late season rally by our team? I have the feeling most NFL organizations would. Unfortunately, I feel we may be content with him given our finish to the season... Thoughts?

I've been trying to list all the postives about shula and pick out the best.

I believe the shula future......... well Im trying to say he pulled a fast or is it a slow one on the panthers. He made sure to become butt buds with cam, that my huddlers is a power move.

Just say for s and giggles, cam is super shula supporter. Ok....... and cam wants his bff shula here or he'll think about pulling a peppers.........

Would you take cam if it means keepin shula for the same amount of time, hmmm?

Everyone agrees that Cam struggled because he didn't have enough tools around him. Before the season started almost everyone was saying that we might have the worse O line and receivers in football.

 

If everyone agrees to that, then why does Cam get a pass but the Offensive coaching personnel from Shula on down the line are crucified with the exception of Proehl.  If our offensive personnel was so awful and it was a major reason Cam struggled, then it was a major reason the offense struggled as well.  Look at how much better we were in December when we had the personnel on offense and defense to operate Shula's scheme.

No one is going to mistake Shula for a creative inventive offensive genius, but when he has the players to run his system he appears more than adequate. Both he and to a lesser extent, McDermott, have taken a ton of heat when the reality is that our talent level took all season to develop and only showed potential in the last quarter of the season.  We should be pretty solid going forward unless Gettleman does a fruit basket turnover yet again this year.

This playoff run saved his job. The sooner you accept it the sooner you'll get over it. Trust me I don't like it but that's what happens when the lights turn on in December.

 

 

This is absolutely the case.  I'd say there's a less than 10% chance Shula is canned.  I doubt Gettleman wants to jump over Rivera to fire his coaches and it's very doubtful Rivera will fire him either.  The only member of the coaching staff gone IMO is Rodgers.

      Is McMillan getting ROTY or is Shough / Henderson going to get it?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      If Henderson just got a concussion and will possibly/probably now miss next week as well, gotta think missing 2 games of stats at this point of the year might knock him out as he was only just entering the discussion the last few weeks anyways.  Same goes for Judkins going down today too, and Dart's god awful game likely removes him from the conversation as well. It will be interesting to see how the voters compare T-Mac and Egbuka if they end up with stats that are nearly identical. Egbuka burst onto the scene and put up the bulk of his stats early in the year when Baker was playing like the MVP front runner.  While T-Mac was just more consistent throughout the course of the full season (ex. Egbuka has 8 games of 42 yards or less, T-Mac has 4 of them, while T-Mac still scored 3 TDs in those 4 games, where Egbuka only scored 1 TD in his 8). It would be a shame if they put too much weight on the final game of the season if that ends up being the division decider, as I think T-Mac has had the better SEASON while Egbuka had a better peak output during that first month or so but way cooled off since. Maybe Warren goes off in the last 3 games (they still play tomorrow), but it does seem to be down to T-Mac and Egbuka right now.

      Mitchell Evan’s put a block on someone that he drove them all the way out of bounds and to the bench. He absolutely destroyed the guy. He’s gonna be a beast for us if he keeps that up.
