Shula promoted to OC

[CLEARHOT]

Gettleman's words from his press conference keeping playing in my head..."If we do this thing right RR, JR and me will be lifting the trophy" I really, really want to believe........

[Jesse]

I think the reasoning is that they want continuity for Cam and ST. Also I don't think Gettleman would want to hire some people and then can them a year later if he decides to clean house.

pffffffftttttttttahahahahaha

looking forward to yet another losing season

[Sloth]

Rivera's cowardly ass not wanting anyone threatening on his staff.

What a fuging joke.

[jtnc]

If you don't think JR has a say in the type of toilet paper they use in the stadium ....you'd be wrong. This guy is involved in everything.

Ron Rivera says Jerry Richardson gave him no directives in terms of staff changes, philosophy, etc, when he decided to retain him.

For those asking, Pat Shurmur and Hue Jackson wanted the job. Panthers went w/ continuity and someone who's worked well with Cam.

so. fuging. depressing.

[CPF4LIFE]

Not really happy with it but kinda feel better for Hue. He would have been on a "perform or your gone" year anyway. So if Rivera and his piece of poo staff dont get it done next year he wont have to be a part of that house cleaning. We might be able to get him next year on the new coaching staff, who knows.

I'm just as upset about Rodgers being promoted as I am Shula. Bobby April was a slam dunk hire who would instantly help our special teams. Continuity isn't nearly as big in that area, because there is a lot of turnover on the bottom half of the roster, which is usually where special teams players are pulled from.

The good news is that we'll get a fresh staff next year after Rivera gets himself and this crew fired.

Once again failing to hire a former head coach as the OC is a huge mistake. He desperately needed someone with that experience on his staff, and he STILL didn't do it, even when he had the clear opportunity.

I'm heartbroken by both of these moves, and have completely lost what little faith I had left in Ron Rivera. 7-9, here we come...again.

[Snake]

Well its been good knowing ya Rivera.

[4Corners]

LOL - Chudzinski fuged us. He got the last laugh.

[4Corners]

terrible move by the Panthers. Unfortunately I think this is what most of us new was going to happen deep down.

[TheRumGone]

Who did Shula have as his QB at Tampa. Who were his surrounding players? Who was the HC during that time? I just wanna know I haven't researched it cause I thought it was Hue's job.

[iampantherman]

have you ever looked at what he did in tampa?

not exactly what i would call "pep".

he adds nothing.

it's a step backward if anything.

I'm just hoping Cam's talent and athleticism can help mask Shula as OC.

Just try to stay excited for that meaningless 4-2 run at the end of the season.
