Voth suggests Shula could be replaced

Well they will definitely need scapegoats...Rivera will have to throw someone into the fire 

Voth also reported that Shula lobbied that teams would catch up to what they did last year and wanted the organization to provide talent for him to switch things up this year (he lobbied for the 2nd rec TE tonbe added so he can run legit 2 TE sets but our FO made no moves to improve either side of our team for 2016

instead we added a DT and tore our secondary apart 

offense isn't broken...our OL is broke.  Better OCs than Shula can't actually fix what we are forced to use of late

Im sure the Assistant to the Assistant of the equipment staff will be let go as the main culprit to this bad season.  That will definitely right the ship for next year.  Shula will stay in place as a 'great asset' to Rivera.

Funny how the roster is able to score in the first half but unable to score in the second half.

 

well, football coaches are suppose to get leads and then play in a manner to keep leads.

Panthers don't have the talent to do such.

Carolina gets a lead and either attempts to play with a lead (offensive talent can't) or is then forced to continue to play high risk football (which can lead to easy opportunities for an opponent)

Carolina's D is largely responsibile for our bad start and we have now won 3 of the last 4.  So our current record simply is more of a result of the defense.... but that type thought ain't popular.  Team will need a scapegoat and giving a fanbase what they want is the easy and obvious option for them.  

They sacrifice Shula and the fans will gloss over the FO disaster that put us in the hole to begin with and failed to improve the overall team.

I am absolutely just about the last guy to stick up for Shula. But his second half antics aside, he wasn't tasked with assessing our offensive tackle situation in the offseason, only to declare that we're good after watching Newton get harassed for most of the Super Bowl. Only to watch it again, and again, and again since.

I will not forgive our FO for the 2016 offseason. It's put up or shut up next year as far as I'm concerned.

But I have long endorsed the notion Ron would scapegoat coaches....once we are out of it

Dave ain't gonna take it on the chin (and he IMO remains the most responsible for the drop from 2015)....so he will look to Ron to explain it

but Shula is like reason #3 we are not good and removing him doesn't change the other more impactful reasons for the drop off

    • He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.  
    • This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.
    • I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
