He does not get much media coverage or fan coverage for that matter.I did read the thread that we would not be relying on the read option but am very curious as to his philosophy for the team going forward given the skill set we have.

Just after the original post I did find this in the Charlotte Observer.

 

 http://www.charlotteobserver.com/2013/01/22/3805575/panthers-offensive-coordinator.html

 

 

MOBILE, Ala. A day after Alabama coach Nick Saban made a royal entrance at a Senior Bowl practice in a luxury SUV, his predecessor sat in relative obscurity Tuesday in the end zone bleachers at Ladd-Peebles Stadium.

Mike Shula, wearing a Jimmy Buffett Margaritaville cap and black Oakleys, said fans still recognize him in the state where he played quarterback for Alabama and coached the Crimson Tide from 2003-06.

“A little bit,” Shula said. “Maybe not quite as much anymore.”

The Panthers’ new offensive coordinator will no longer be able to keep a low profile in the Carolinas.

In the past Shula was overly conservative, unable to develop winning strategies, and unable to make any in game adjustments whatsoever.

 

We can only hope that over the past few years he has improved a great deal in these areas through working for Chud.

He isn't changing it.

What we should hope he changes is the situational stuff Chud sucked at. For example, get Cam on the 3 yard line at first and goal.....you don't call 3 pass plays.

Offense isn't changing. 4 games out of 32 where Chud went read option gets too much focus and talk around here

Dungy told him to run an ultra conservative O with his weak talent.

He has Cam now....all these lame coaches inheriting these athletic QBs are now being called offensive gurus. Talent driven league. Give the best OC in the NFL Jimmy Clausen and he won't appear to have the ability to coach himself out of a wet paper bag

 Good point.Developing a scheme or a player is different than managing a game ie.that in a part was Rivera's weakness.

Incorrect. How many of those games did you watch again? Not one?

perhaps you can tell me about Dungy pre-Manning then. Bc it sounds like you believe something that contradicts everything else known about him....

Or are you arguing he didn't have weak talent?

Not being a smart ass either

Shula had Warrick Dunn (1st rounder, pro bowler) Mike Alstott (pro bowler) Trent Dilfer (1st rounder, pro bowler), stout offensive line, WR Reidel Anthony (1st rounder) AND a Defense that gave them the ball back after numerous 3 and outs. Tampa Bay invested plenty in offensive talent.

 

Was it a lack of talent or an inability to utilize and develop the talent given? As someone that watched every single game it is my opinion it is the latter.

 

But go ahead and dig up some old stats because those tell you the whole story, right?

I think the offense will be be similar to what it has been (they claim to have kept Shula for the young quarterback's continuity) but with a bit more of the generic I formation runs that we saw closer to the end. If the offensive line is healthy, I imagine it will create a more stable offense, but we will probably be trading some big plays for that. I basically trust the offense to remain in the top half of the league with the cast we have. I'm more worried about how the defense comes together this season.

He had rushers....he ran them. Heck, he almost pulled off the 2 1000 yard rusher feat with a RB and FB.

Anthoney? He lasted one year after Shula left. Career over.

Tampa wasn't a losing ball club....so how were the gameplans not efficient based on what they wanted to do with that D?

I still fail to understand the plenty of offensive talent angle. Dilfer and a bust WR?

You are arguing that planning on scoring 10 points a game was done on purpose.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
