Same as it ever was - How Tony Dungy dealt with Shula's overly complex play calling

Igo =  Nostradamus 

You know when a good time would've been to do that...maybe that extra time off we had leading up to this game...i truly hate shula right now.

You were right @Jeremy Igo. You said all this right after they promoted Shula to OC, and I tried to see the glass as half full and remain optimistic. Shula has been terrible for the Panthers.

Perhaps there's another parallel to draw from Dungy's Bucs. They always had a great defense, but after letting go of Dungy (which the owners really didn't want to do as they liked him so much as a person), they brought in a brash offensive mind in Gruden. With Dungy's defense still mostly intact, Gruden's offense carried the Bucs to a Super Bowl. 

I'm not saying bring in Gruden, that ship has sailed, but bringing in a young brash offensive mind, perhaps someone like Bill Lazor, might be the answer.

Everybody said this, not just igo, not one single person was on board with it when it happened

It's called common sense, which you would THINK a professional NFL coach would have. Unfortunately, looks like Ron is suffering from CTE.

Honestly, we should all be hoping for zero more wins this season. That is the only way these clowns get fired.

Sadly, I don't even think THAT would be enough. Let's face it, Ron is here until his contract is up. JR not about to pay another coach to not be on the team.

4-12 is a typical hurney season. No need to can anyone for that.

Mr. Richardson doesn't have enough time left on the planet to burn through a fraction of all the money he has acquired.  So, I doubt JR would hesitate to fire Ron and the rest of the staff despite the financial loss if he believed it would secure a Lombardi Trophy for the Panthers. 

Seems like some here don't recall JR fired Head Coach Dom Capers with 8 years remaining on his 10 year contract.

That wasn't Dungys D that was Monty Kiffins D and he was the reason their defense was great for a few years there...

 

Our team pours most of the resources to the D and haven't had a D preform on any of those Tampa's defenses level...it's sickening because everything about this team should be so much better than what it is

So whose defense was that in Indianapolis?

This brings back such bad memories.

I think Richardson made it crystal clear back in July the priority that he sets between Lombardi Trophies and relationships.

There is that of course, as well as his love of hiring defensive coordinators as head coaches who treat the offensive side of the ball as an afterthought.
