So where does Shula need to rank for us to be successful?

[Cyberjag]

This was actually a fun list to come up with.  In doing so, it's painfully obvious that if our franchise has an overall identity, it's all about defense.

 

Since the Panthers have been in existence, here are our offensive coordinators:

 

Joe Pendry (1995-1997)

Gil Haskell (1998-1999)

Bill Musgrave (2000)

Richard Williamson (2000-2001)

Dan Henning (2002-2006)

Jeff Davidson (2007-2010)

Rob Chudzinski (2011-2012)

Mike Shula (2012-?)

 

Personally, I would rank them as follows:

1) Haskell

2) Chud

3) Henning

4) Musgrave/Williamson

5) Pendry

6) Davidson

 

My question to the board is, where do you think Shula would need to rank on this list to bring the Panthers some success, given how well McDermott/Rivera have our defense playing?  And please, feel free to switch around the rankings. :)

4th

[PhillyB]

seems like a hard thing to quantify

[csx]

He needs to help us win games to be successful. Chud ranked pretty damned high and we didn't have a winning season.

[chknwing]

hell, I think the offense should just kneel 3 times and punt and just let the defense score every game.

[Jakob]

if our defense plays like that every week we could probably go 16-0 with a top 20 Offense.

[teeray]

Henning was our best OC ever *ducks *

I'm srs though.

[Cyberjag]

I think Henning was pretty good, but better than Haskell?

[Ruff]

I'd put henning as the best we've had also.

[2jakefansinva]

stats are for losers.

[KillaCamNewton]

lol i think you guys are really overrating henning. look at the OLine we had those years as opposed to this year. i think sean payton would have trouble putting up numbers with our OLine. 

[Davidson Deac II]

The offense we had under Henning in 03 was probably the most talented we have ever had.  Jake was solid at qb, Smith, Moose and Proehl gave us a gifted group of receivers, Stephen Davis and Deshaun Foster (before all the injuries) and a roided up offensive line ;).  That probably helped Henning a lot.  We can talk about the offensive coordinator all we want, but in the end, an offense needs talent to succeed. 

 

But I will say that imo, Henning did his best job in 05, with one legitimate target receiver wise, and a worn out Stephen Davis along with Deshaun Foster at rb.

If he is as good as Henning this team is a contender in the NFC.

Nice list, props for the effort.

 

None of those fuggers had Cam in his 3rd year and beyond.

Shula better be #1.
