A few good reads on Shula

[panther4life]

I'm sure theres plenty more of where that came from. This is just the top 3 google results, with "shula","crow", and "carolinahuddle".

I mentioned it in another thread but I will say it again here. We had more PPG than 5 of 12 playoff teams this year. 

Now this is not to say Shula is some offensive genius. I just agree with Rivera, that a change at OC, would not have yielded better results or taken us to the promise land this year. Nor is it worth the risk and hassle of installing a new offensive playbook for Cam and crew to have to learn.

if the OL stays intact this past season, we're not talking about how shitty Shula is.  We need to get healthy and get some depth at OL.

Lol at thinking removing a mediocre OC wouldnt help this organization.

I have always been a proponent of exercising caution as it pertains to lauding, and even outright accepting Shula.

Don Shula is 87 years old. Wonder if he still has any offensive insight to give his son some advice.

The fact is, he knew DC's had him figured out before the season started. Even with that said, when you get to week 8 and you know teams are stopping you because you're calling the same plays as last year, you have to move forward. Idk how to do that, but that's what they pay him for. To figure it out, and he needs to. I know the o line plays a part in that but it can be worked around.

I thought I read somewhere that Shula wanted a TE drafted last year...one that would help him change up the offense.  Get him a couple of toys that he wants...shore up the O-line...best hope we got for 2017.

This season's results don't take away what he was able to accomplish last year.

Having said that, it seems like 2015 was more of an outlier than the norm. He deserved credit for 2015, but he also deserves blame for 2016.

Are you suggesting that the huddle doesnt know how to run an nfl franchise?  :)

Shula performed as well as Rivera and Gettleman performed at their jobs in every year he's been an offensive coordiantor.

Many fans  prefer to have a 1 scapegoat and that they can throw most of the blame on. It's lazy and dumb.

The brunt of the blame belongs to Gettleman and Rivera. 

Shula should shoulder some as well the balance is not there amongst the fans.

Look at this way. If JR shitcanned everyone. 

Shula could possibly get another OC gig,  Ron and Gettleman would have no chance of finding  their same position with another team

For those who say he can't adjust and bla bla bla. How about our first game of the season? Even with our o-line getting Cam killed, the only thing that stopped us from getting revenge for the super bowl was Gano.

Improve the talent/depth  he has to work with. It's proven to work in the past. 

[outlaw4]

Have I ever trusted Shula completely? No, but it's hard to judge him this season when the O-line kept degrading by the week. Lose the war in the trenches and just about any offensive system will break.

I do believe we need more offensive pieces that provide more flexibility on what we could run. Finding better Uglies would help but frankly, what we need most is a semblance of consistency.
