My Biggest Concern (Chud + Shula)

[Ruff]

Panthers can deny assistant coaches lateral moves (anything other than a head coaching job).

I doubt either one of them would be offered a head coaching job, either.

Wait for it....

2 games into a 16-game season, the team has yet to win but everyone keeps gushing about Cam's individual stats thanks to Chud and Shula?

Don't either have any input into the lack of a running game? How about a #2 WR still waiting to emerge...

O-line penalties? Or how about the general inability to run block?

I get the whole Cam man-love thing, but let's get real; I'm more concerned that 2 excellent running backs in Stewart and Williams haven't contributed this season because the O-line is that bad...

Keeping Shula for at least one more year until Cam's is out of initial development mode was one of the first things I was thinking about yesterday

This... NE is famous for denying team's. We only didbot cause Fox was a nice guy.

[Jackofalltrades]

Teams would have to get permission from is to talk to them, that's when we just say no.

My concern is the number of throws he's making and having a dead arm after week 10 or so.

I think there is an unwritten rule of 3 years of service before moving on.

[Mr. Scot]

It's a good concern to have.

Not like we ever had a coach with a coaching tree before.

Del Rio skipped that.

Some of you people worry about the wrong things. Let's worry about winning our first game. Kay? Thanks

It's a double edged sword for sure, but I think the most important piece to our success is Ron Rivera. Look at Bill Belichick. He's lost numerous OC's, DC's, etc over the years but they still continue to succeed. There is no doubt that Chud and Shula are great coaches and I want to keep them as long as possible, but what is most important is the head coach and keeping Cam around too, of course. ;)

Haven't you heard? We can't...we're in a rebuilding year.

Figuring out how to fight the onslaught of phone calls coming for our win-less assistants at the end of the season, when we will be 2-14 is what the talk's all about!

:rolleyes:

Make up you freaking minds! Are we going to suck because we're rebuilding or are we going to be so good our coaches are going to be hot ticket items?

Because if we're going 2-14 again and Cam continues to throw for 3 pics every week, nobody's going to be dialing either one of those guys. The only way this happens is if we probably end up making the playoffs, and like I said, then they're off the market anyway.

Simple business here, folks.

You make an investment (Cam). You protect that investment by surrounding it with good pieces (Chud and Shula). This investment still needs time to grow into something amazing, so you keep those pieces there as long as growth is continuing and you don't let them go. Keep them by any means necessary.

At least, that is what my thinking is. Plus, do you really think Shula or Chud will say "fug this poo" when they're looking at what WILL eventually be the NFL's biggest star? Even if it is for a HC job? I think not. Hasn't Peyton had the same QB coach since his rookie year?

[Mr. Scot]

Del Rio skipped that.

And look at him now :sosp:

Others have gone the way of hiring coordinators as head coaches after just one year too. Results generally haven't been positive.

The Panthers will likely finish about 5-11 or 6-10. I don't see many teams waiting in line to sign up a coach from a team that drafts only 3 slots behind you. I expect to see almost the same entire coaching staff next year, with a few notable exceptions.
