A fascinating article on David Shaw (aka Why David Shaw should be our next coach)

I love me some Dave Shaw.  That dude absolutely stonewalled Chip Kelly's offense last year with a team that isn't exactly overabundant with talent (they def have a good squad tho).  Guy worked under Jim Harbaugh, has a history of success, he's innovative but not gimmicky and he does tremendous work on both sides of the ball.  If Rivera was canned last year you would have seen me screaming relentlessly to offer him 40 billion dollars to coach us for one year.

We are never going to get far when we refuse to work around our franchise QB's strengths and skip over hiring coaches that would actually implement those strengths and move this organization forward.

I don't know much about JR's preferences in coaches, but from reading here it sounds like they don't match what is needed for Cam to make this offense relevant again (relevant meaning playoffs or something better than where we've been so far).

Any personnel move our new GM has done in the past, is currently doing or will do in the future will pale in comparison to the effect hiring a Head Coach the likes of David Shaw would immediately have on this Franchise.

I seriously doubt he'll be able to convince the dinosaur currently owning the Panthers to open his check book and do so however.

Not gonna happen Stanford is his dream job, he grew up on campus, his dad was an assistant, later went to college there. Stanford is his home, no amount of money this franchise would put up would make him leave!

Sorry I think he is a great coach!

Want Sumlin, he is A ronin (Masterless samurai) he would probably leave TA&M.

Man, I feel like David Shaw is the only coach that would get the absolute best out of Cam.  He specializes in using many different formations.  He uses two tight ends, something Cam benefited greatly from back in his rookie season.  He works a strong running game.  All those things would help Cam tremendously.  The biggest reason why I would want Shaw to work with Cam, is because he would hold nothing back from Cam.  Shaw would basically throw the book at him, and tell him to master that thing from cover to cover.  To be able to call plays and protection in his sleep.  These are things Rivera shielded Cam from. (It's like Rivera stunted Cam's growth.  Teaching Cam the ABC's of QB play, when he should be working calculus by now)  I feel like if we can't get David Shaw to coach this team next year, Cam will be done in Carolina. 

 

 

What other offensive mind out there would be good for Cam?  Jay Gruden wouldn't get the job done.  I don't think Cam would respond to someone yelling, spitting, and cursing in his face 24/7.  Greg Roman?  Possible good coach, but I don't feel strongly about him.  Ultimately I feel like there are only two coaches that would get the best out of Cam.  One was Marc Trestman.  I lobbied hard for him last year.  The other guy is David Shaw.

Just not that many people out there that are offensive geniuses.  Bill O'Brien perhaps?  Whoever we hire, I do want them to have some kind of head coaching experience.  Even if they specialize in either offense or defense, having experience of dealing with both sides of the ball is great.  With all that said, concerning Cam's career here, I feel it's David Shaw or bust.

O'briens buy out from penn state is like $35 million. That ain't happening.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      By TLGPanthersFan · Posted

      Yeah but at least that QB would be not short.  I keep going back to the fact other than Wilson no other short QB has ever won a Super Bowl. The success rate of short QBs is very, very low. Like count on one hand low.  Yeah some people would include Brees too but I don’t consider a 6 foot tall QB short, imo.

      2025 season

      I just rewatched all the highlights from after Bryce being benched. The Bryce hate needs to calm down a little bit. He showed a ton of potential the back half of the year. Same with Legette. They both made great plays when it mattered and a few mistakes when it counted. If we didn’t have a historically awful defense last year we could have ended even a bit better. Going into a brand new season we should be optimistic at least before game one. 2015 no one expected to go anywhere and the team steam rolled the league. I’m not saying that will happen, but hopefully we made strides to improve on the end of last year. Bryce put both Super Bowl teams in a battle last year and if we had a better D we could have taken them both. So at least look forward to the season and not past the season until it at least begins.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.
