Panthers sign coaching staff to extensions

[panthers55]

None of this means McDermott will be here of course if he is offered a HC job in the future.

 

 

The play calling is really the key here.

The play calls on the goal line repeatedly against the 49ers quite possibly cost us a Playoff win.

I suspect that Shula would agree with you. I am sure he will learn from it and do better next year when we return to the playoffs.

it's every year with the same nonsense fire a coordinator because he doesn't have the tools to succeed..........same guys said the same about mcdermott.......then we got a couple stud dt's and boom #2 overall defense......give the hate a rest

All we can do is hope so.

The people riding Shula's nuts saying he should be fired are probably the same people who said the NFL Coach of the Year should be fired after 3 freaking games.

Many are the same folks. Conversely some of us defending Shula and suggesting he will learn and improve are the same guys who said the same thing about Rivera. This staff not only are good teachers but they are open to learning and growing themselves.

Exactly, give him some offense weapons to work with and if he still falls flat on his face get back with me. Until then I don't want to hear it.

this.  we know what cam and tolbert can do.  i mean, didn't you see the pro bowl?!

If Carolina's D ranks in the top 5 again there is no way McDermott doesn't get a head coaching job.  Rob Chudzinski got a head coaching job with less credit.

Can I ask a question? When Shula ran those same plays against San Fran, Rivera hears the calls he gets from his coordinators right? Could Ron have not disagreed with the predictable play calling or do coaches not do this? I mean sometimes this season even us fans have seen what the play is before it's called, if we see it so obvious surely the opposition players coaches do too.

[rodeo]

haha I wonder how many years of bottom feeder offenses we can have before the "Shula will learn and do better" stops. Cause he's literally never fielded anything but that in his entire career.

Shula is fine, more talent = Better offense.

Those were also the same calls that we successfully completed throughout the year.  But  nobody was complaining when they worked.  Also, I believe Cam even said that on one of the plays that he audibled from a pass to the run play, but realized too late that it wasn't going to work.

 

But to answer your question, yes, the HC typically does hear the calls on the headset and can change the call.  Fox was notorious for doing that during his time here.  However, I haven't heard of Rivera changing plays like that.
