Gil Brandt has lost his damn mind

[Jmac]

If this team keeps winning and causes havoc in the playoffs, don't be suprised if a few of our coordinators are looked into and possibly snatched.

[Marguide]

When you're pecking away at your keyboard,  you don't have to worry about trivialities like team chemistry and players buying into a system. Anyone doubt we have that going for us right now? Didn't think so.

How about our results? Anyone have a problem with that? Back to back division titles, the longest current reg season win streak, scoring 27 a game given our talent, etc.

I know all the cool kids are supposed to hate Shula. This is just a reminder to be careful what you wish for.

[beastson]

He hasn't lost his mind. Shula would be a great coach. Somebody should definitely interview and hire him.

[London Loves Luke]

Its really all about who would be there in his place... How can you guarantee it without knowing who would be there?

Unless you think he is the best OC in the NFL.....

He's here to do a job, and follow a gameplan that allows our defence to make plays and close out games, which is what he does and has managed to do admirably with a developing QB and very little investment in receivers, RBs or O Line.

You tell me who you think has done a better job with less. Apart from the Pats I don't know if I can answer that.

[Khaki Lackey]

We don't all remember him the same.

Some seem to remember him as the greatest offensive mind in the history of the Panthers.

The narrative about Chud around here is strange at best. Few remember how bad he was in 2012, and I never got the "he's just auditioning for a HC job instead of trying to win!" I don't understand how sucking and losing gets you a HC job, but what do I know. It worked.

Would pie her again.

Can't really separate Cam and Shula right now.  In the past it was easy to bag on Shula, but Cam has such a huge part in running the offense now, I don't know that it is fair/possible to separate them and blame Shula for whatever issues you have with our O right now.  OTOH, the trust between Cam and Shula has allowed Cam to play extremely well this year, and I'm not sure that would exist had he been fired like some of us wanted.

Anyway, Id not be surprised if he got some looks if we continue to play well, but I don't know that he would work well as a HC.

he was trying all kinds of crazy poo and running weird experimental formations etc, rather than (at least according to some huddle fans) doing what would work.  TBH, I don't remember 2012's plays well enough to say whether Chud's sucking was just him sucking or him being "experimental."

I see what you're saying. I just never figured anyone would hire a "mad scientist" if his experiments didn't work. (2012 was him going zone read crazy.)

yeah neither did I.

I guess you could say the chud as hc experiment also failed. :p

Someone posted in another thread that Greg Cosell was quoted saying that Shula had the most intricate run plays in the NFL. That carries some weight as Cosell knows his poo. As a running team, that bodes well for us if  our run blocking comes together. Our running game usually heats up around this time of year. Look out! J Stew is going to go for over 100 Sunday night!

[hepcat]

Shula is not the coordinator I'm worried about losing.  Unless the plan is to promote Ken Dorsey to OC

[rodeo]

The OC we interviewed (and who wanted to be here) before we hired Shula is also undefeated this year. We certainly would have been OK without him.

Yeah I've noticed that he knows a lot of slow developing ways to send rbs up the gut for no gain.
