I get the feeling that Mike Shula might wind up being a better head coach than a lot of people think.

Worth remembering that coordinating and head coaching are different skill sets. That's a big reason why some fantastic coordinators fail as head coaches.

oh man that's insightful thanks so much for that

If either or both coordinators are let go, it's my opinion that Rivera would select their successors based on people he interviewed doing the things the team does well. By that I mean, if Shula leaves, he's not going to find someone with a completely different ideology for an offense. He'll find someone for the sake of continuity, and for that reason not much will change. 

Just my opinion, but I think the team has shown for five years that they will choose continuity for Cam over making a splash hire. 

As far as McDermott goes, I think it's Rivera's defense and McDermott does a great job of implementing it, and history has shown elite defenses have followed Ron Rivera wherever he has been throughout his entire career, be it as a player, coordinator, or head coach. 

Either way it's nice to have coordinators on both sides of the ball that are thought of highly enough to even be having this debate. 

First of all neither will be let go. They would be promoted and I don't think teams can stop a coordinator from taking a head coach job.

But to your point of continuity I agree. The problem is nobody on the offensive staff have ever been an OC in the NFL. As for defense it is true that Rivera is a defensive guru but as head coach he can't spend the time to be involved with the defense to be the coordinator. McDermott know this defense as well as Rivera and when you have all the high draft picks on defense we do you are going to be good. What Rivera has taught McDermott (which Johnson didn't) is to pick and choose your blitzes and give the offense different looks. Johnson blitzed too often and often paid the price giving up big plays.  Wilkes was with Rivera in San Diego and now here and would be the DC if Rivera left.

Honestly I feel like this is Ron Rivera's team now more than ever. Defensively, I think Ron could hire just about anyone and still field a top 10 unit. Offensively, Cam runs the offense so the man behind the schemes isn't as important as Cam's first couple years IMO. 

It's like when New England lost Romeo Crennel and Charlie Weiss and the juggernaut just kept on moving. 

I agree. Anyone who believes this is not Cam's offense is a buffoon. Yeah this isn't Cam's offense just like the Pats aren't Brady's offense or the Packers aren't Rodgers' offense. To think this isn't Cam's offense is insulting his football intelligence and I have no idea why anyone would think Cam can't be the leader of the offense. I also have no idea why anyone would think Rivera would hire someone to come in and drastically change everything if Shula left. It's real funny watching elitists post such trivial things to sound far superior when in reality they just look pathetic.

I think Wilkes is Asst. Head Coach so unless he gets hired as a HC by another team he can't leave

As long as they're under contract, the team can block any assistant from leaving for anything but a head coaching job.

Unfortunately, assistant coach contract details are hardly ever published, so there's no way to know whether or not Wilks is under contract beyond this year.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
