McCaffrey on Shanahan

[Mr. Scot]

Gee, what does this tell us?

[Castavar]

I mean, his last two coaches were Rhule and Ron. Not exactly the epitome of good coaches, ESPECIALLY on the offense side of the ball.

Coaching matters. Wilks went 6-6 and some of our players thought he was Vince Lombardi because they only knew Rhule.

makes me more excited about having reich here and more frustrated by the guys we've had coaching this team for too long.

 

[Mr. Scot]

Also from McCaffrey...

I'm guessing this is a pretty typical reaction...

I think a lot of fans knew something was wrong with our play calling and overall game plans. The only time we looked good was when we kept it simple and just physically overwhelmed a weaker team. I remember on game days screaming in the game thread things we were doing wrong and I'm just a fan. I can only image how easy other good teams found it to play us.

Anyone remember in he TB game thread to go to the playoffs, when I called out that the Bucs were going to go deep to Mike Evan because we had no safety help over the top? And then I said they were about to do it again, and they immediately did it again, and we still didn't have safety help? Just dumb stuff like that. Or McAdoo calling run plays that always required Ian Thomas to block, but we all knew full well he couldn't block any better than an undersized WR. We just had the dumbest team last season.

Yep we all knew this whole time we've had poo coaches who perpetually get outcoached.

But also to be fair we had the dumbest QB in the NFL, so some of it falls on the players.

But if we'd have just given those coaches a few more years...

[pantherclaw]

What always bothered me, is even with a defensive minded head coach, there is NOTHING preventing them from.going out there and acquiring the best offensive minded coach to lead the the offense.  

I'll never be against a defensive minded head coach, but damnit, shoot for the moon every damn time! Especially for the OC!

Shocking development.

It’s not just Rhule or Ron, it’s this franchise. Tepper is still calling the shots so more embarrassment like this in the future is likely.

On a side note that’s why this trade was a good one. The Panthers are years from understanding how to use a player like CMC let alone just win games.
