Mike Shula

[Roebling]

I think people give this guy too much poo. He had been working with a limited offense, and a stellar defense. He isn't going to force plays when his defense is allowing him to win games.

His line was bad, his receivers were iffy, and his quarterback was injured. Of course you are going to call shorter pass plays, and more runs. It only makes sense.

When Rivera was talking in his last press conference, he harped on how these new draft picks allowed them to do things differently, schematically, on both offense and defense.

So, please, stop the circlejerk. The guy did what he could with the resources he had, while accepting that his defense was the way to win.

I think our offense might just work with Shula pulling the strings. We have nothing splashy or sneaky- we will line up our huge O-line to run the rock with Stewy, Fozzy and Cam. That will set up our monster WRs and Pro Bowl TE to attack downfield. Kinda like the Seattle defense: there is no trick-ery to them.. they just line up and beat you from the 1st qtr to the 4th.

 

Shula's offense is so vanilla that our personnel might just fit him and Rivera perfectly.

Well the great thing about upgrading WR is we're going to find out if Shula is truly bad or if he just hasn't had the best personnel

Hi Mike. 

[KBRed]

Mike Shula can no longer run Deangelo up the middle for negative yards. That's an advantage for him.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

shula knows offense like gritsrgreat knows FBI pedophile sting operations.

[juliosantos]

Shula has potential to be good, he just needs to stop playing conservative same thing applys to ron. We need riverboat ron

[teeray]

He does get too much poo. He isn't as bad as people act like he is, but he isn't that great either

[Guest Barry McCaulkinor]

He sucks fuging ass

[Devil Doc]

IMO if it wasnt for his Name, he wouldnt have a job.

[Cookie Lyon]

Shula has a track record man. The dude sucks. Go look at his prior history. Bottom offense everywhere he has gone, poor red zone efficiency, etc.

 

Exactly.

Panther fans are not judging him solely based on last year.  Or for the year prior for that matter.  With 6 years as an offensive coordinator in the NFL, he has never had an offense ranked in the top 15 in yards per game or in points per game.

 

Year (YPG,PPG)

1996 (28th, 30th)

1997 (29th, 23rd)

1998 (22nd, 18th)

1999 (28th, 27th)

 

He then spent 4 years as the Head Coach of Alabama:The Tide struggled under Shula, as the offense could not consistently move the ball once inside the red zone.

 

Year (YPG,PPG)

2013 (26th, 18th)

2014 (16th, 19th)

I'd rather have Chud back.

Once upon a time, there were many Shula defenders. Those ranks have lost many numbers since 2013. As Shula's offense shows its weaknesses and limitations week in and week out, a few more jump off that sinking ship. I am amazed people who have faith in Shula still exist.
