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.

      Mr. 0-2 every year to start the season in his career. Last year was the first year he ever played a week 3 game.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.
