The coach that knows Shula the best ..... Just passed on him...

[Jeremy Igo]

 

Yeah, we are going with a college coach. Good luck, Mike.

 

Why did we stick with him for so long. Ugh.

[DFive]

I have to ask, do you think it has more to do with Cam and the coaches thinking he might not be able to adapt to a new system quick enough?   I mean, given the fact that we've basically run the same offense since Rivera and Newton took over, could it be more QB related than we've previously thought?  Either way, Shula sucked and I can't wait to see what we do under Norv.

Twitter guy is wrong. Daboll has plenty of NFL coaching experience.

McDermott continues his habit of not hiring anybody with Panthers experience.

McD was always the bright one.

The moment Shula was hired I warned everyone and said it was a move of continuity, not competency.

That philosophy comes from ownership on down.

Maybe McD is pretty smart. I think Ron’s biggest  problem is talent evaluations among coaches and players.

McDermott built a staff that includes several guys who are among the best in the league at their coaching position.

It isn't evaluation, it is unwavering loyalty when it's obvious that it's time to move the better guy in.

Well that would be a pretty stupid assumption on their part. That didn't seem to be an issue Cam's rookie season. With the lockout and basically no offseason to prepare, he put up historic numbers right out of the gate.

I think Shula sticking around as long as he did had more to do with Ron Rivera's stubbornness/blind loyalty and inability to adapt or consider change more than anything else. He plays it safe to a fault. I mean I'm okay with the Norv Turner hire in general, but we didn't even bother to conduct basic due diligence and interview anyone else did we? That's the Ron Rivera I'm talking about. I like him on a personal level and I wish him no ill will, but he is his own worst enemy and hindering his ability to jump from being an above average head coach to an elite head coach.

You were his biggest detractor from the get go.

Lets not forget that Rivera was also getting on the hot seat. 

No OC that would interview that was worth a damn would have came here with a HC on the hot seat and end up being fired again at the end of the year. Plus Ron probably didn’t want a “up and coming” OC that could take his spot if he was fired. 

Shula was the safe pick for Ron and it bit him in the ass. That 15-1 season as fun was it was, gave Shula ammo for Ron to not fire him sooner.
