He won't even be allowed to call plays hahaha wtf kinda poo is this

 

Had a suspicion that might be the case.

Reich didn't call plays in Philly. McVay runs the Rams offense. And Jackson didn't even have an OC until this year.

It's not that unusual these days.

If Shula isn't calling plays or creating plays this isn't a bad hire in my opinion. He was great as a QB coach, and he was with Cam for 7 years and Cam never had a bad thing to say about him which means he's good with people.

lol at those that believe GMs do the detailed assistant coach hiring and firing for anything but criminal or moral turpitude reasons .

Pretty much every team in the NFL runs this way.

As to the Panthers, Gettleman was specifically asked about it when Shurmur was hired. Stated that he had wanted to hire Shurmur but Ron chose Shula and it was his call.

Likewise, back when people were calling for Richard Rodgers to be fired, Cattlemen's specifically told reporters in his presser "That's a Ron question". He added that he could "make suggestions" but that her never step on Ron's toes.

And of course, we already know from Voth and other sources that Gettleman was putting pressure on Rivera to fire Shula and Dorsey last year, but Rivera "stuck his neck out" to keep them.

But of course, I realize your theories carry more weight then the statements of people who are naturally involved 

Again you didn't say anything contradicting what I did. Gettleman had his choice in Shurmur but he obviously was okay with Shula or they would have gone with someone else. The GM has his own thoughts and feelings and so does the coach. So they find someone agreeable to both. The same with letting folks go. They each have input but ultimately it has to be someone the GM is okay with that the coach wants. So Shurmur wanted Shula and obviously Gettleman must have felt he was the best choice of who was available. The idea that the GM only can hire the HC and not have input on anyone else is really stupid. Anyone who has worked in industry and business knows this. Why don't you?

Maybe. It's a much different story now that it's coming out that Shula is basically going to be a figurehead OC in name only. He's basically going to be this rookie QB's babysitter. 

You know he won't call plays how? That is your explanation to justify your opinion. I haven't heard Shurmur say anything. Have you?

[WOW!!]

That, just like in Carolina, Gettleman allows his HCs to hire their own assistants.

You know... like a good NFL GM does.

That is a Twitter not a statement by Shurmur and is based on what people think not what will happen  when the season starts.
