If Shula were to be fired...

[t96]

Would you trade for Chud from the Colts? Aren't a ton of other options if Shula was fired (you don't just bring in some random guy like Turner mid season, and there's nobody to promote from within). And if you'd want Chud here as OC, what would you give up? Colts coaching staff doesn't seem like they have a lot of time left and the GM may want to get draft picks for a coach if possible.

 

Yes it's a dumb hypothetical, but what else is there to discuss right now? And, not sure if it's even allowed in the league (maybe @Mr. Scot knows), but not sure why it wouldn't be as you can trade HC's.

Serious question: When was the last time a coach was actually a part of a trade mid season? I'm willing to bet it's never happened

[Lemory]

Shula would be replaced with Dorsey to give the offense "continuity" as Ron would say. But Ron will never get rid of Shula, those two ride or die together. 

[Mr. Scot]

I suppose it's possible. I can't recall a time it ever happened though.

Truthfully, might not be necessary. The Colts are garbage this year too and Pagano has been on the hot seat before. 

Heck, even if the staff isn't fired, Chudzinski's contract could be up. 

To be clear though, all of this is "next year" talk. I can't really see anything like this happening in the middle of a season.

thats not realistic

Ron Turner says hi

[Cpt slay a ho]

Rather trade for wr or o linemen

I'd honestly take anyone over Shula right now. The winner of a "Be the OC for the Panthers for a Day" contest on the Huddle would be a better option than Mike "2nd and 12" Shula.

Why? I don't see this team going to the SB or championship game with this offense so why not

Maybe not as dumb as you think.  Very rare that a coach would leave mid season.  I honestly have never heard of that but I don't know of anything that would stop it if you offered a high draft pick or two.  Especially if Chud would be available after the season.  I don't know when his contract would be up but the entire Colts staff may just be canned.

[LinvilleGorge]

Rivera has already done what he always does. He blames our poor offensive performance completely on the execution of the play by the players. Shula is evidently untouchable. 

[ThPantherFan]

Doesn't look like anyone else has known of a trade mid season for a coach.
