He has an impressive record. From Wiki.....
On January 21, 2011, the Carolina Panthers named Shula as their quarterbacks coach. In 2011, Shula helped quarterback Cam Newton earn Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year after turning in one of the most prolific rookie seasons in NFL history, passing for 4,051 yards and accounting for 35 total touchdowns. In 2012, under Shula's tutelage, Newton improved on his Rookie-of-the-Year quarterback rating from 2011 with an 86.2 mark while rushing for more than 700 yards for a second straight season. Newton's 7,920 passing yards in the 2011-12 season surpassed the previous mark for a player’s first two seasons held by Peyton Manning.
On January 18, 2013, the Panthers named Shula as their offensive coordinator.[13] He was named Offensive Coordinator of the Year by Pro Football Focus during the 2015 NFL season.[14]
In the 2015 season, Shula and the Panthers reached Super Bowl 50 on February 7, 2016. The Panthers fell to the Denver Broncos by a score of 24–10.[15]
On January 9, 2018, following the Panthers' wild-card playoff loss to the New Orleans Saints, Shula was released by the Panthers. [16]
He just lost his job for the same reason Bevell lost his.. and in a similar offensive set up.
Not saying he wouldn't be ok, but not seeing how he "makes the most sense"
Not the same reasons IMO. They are going to be sold and have other issues around that.
When did Bevel win coordinator of the year???
When did Bevell have the #1 offense in the NFL????

I remember the 2015 season where the offense went on a 10 game run where it was basically unstoppable. Bevell had his success. That can't be denied.
I don't know much about Shula. But if the firing is not about his offense then fair enough. I'd say Newton's inconsistencies are pretty glaring. Whether that's Shula or Cam is up to debate
JimmyG":3ms6as7i said:I think it's hilarious that people are throwing out Shula (hated by Panthers fans) and Sarkisian (Falcons took a huge step back this year, Falcons fans hate him as well). Mostly it just goes to show that virtually every offensive coordinator in the league is hated.DJrmb":3ms6as7i said:I like Shula as well as a replacement for Bevell. I fully believe that a lot of "his" struggles were actually directly from hard headed Cam Newton and him wanting to do his own thing. I think Shula has done as much as he possibly can with Cam as a QB and I personally believe he could get much more out of RW.Seymour":3ms6as7i said:Uncle Si":3ms6as7i said:He just lost his job for the same reason Bevell lost his.. and in a similar offensive set up.

Also, I think saying "Shula was handicapped because of Cam wanting to do his own thing" is a funny thing to say. We have a quarterback who constantly breaks from clean pockets and starts unnecessarily running, so you could make the same excuse for Bevell.

The big talking point against him was that he was getting Cam killed week in week out. I don't know if that is the direction we want to go either. He did know how to utilize a weapon in Olsen, how valuable would he have been with Jimmy in the line up. I'm not sure on him one way or the other but it is an interesting option

Seriously?
What am I missing with Bielema? I heard it on the radio too. Aside from his time as a HC his entire coaching experience is on the defensive side of the ball.

Norv Turner if he's available.

Disagree.
Cam gets Cam killed. He rarely slides, and regularly takes risks way beyond what Russell would ever do.
Agree on getting Gregg Olson the ball. With him I may even say try to keep Jimmy if they can keep to $8M or under.
