Hello Mike Shula! Am I wrong?

[iambanned]

Symmetry, Destiny. I'm re-watching this game right now and in Carolina's second possession he dials up a screen just as Miami sends the house.
The dude has paid his dues, IMO. He's been away from the nest, took his lumps and keeps evolving and growing.

If he goes elsewhere and succeeds, that will be the straw that breaks the back of this Dolphan.

Nonononononononononononono no

I wish all the best to Don's kids, but no. No. Nope.

Imagine the pressure of following his father's footsteps. For that reason alone it would be a terrible idea.

One play and the last name Shula are not qualifiers as a head coach in the NFL.

Look forward not to the past.

I guess having Cam as your QB can make you look good, especially when he's grown and gotten better at avoiding some turnovers like his first 2 years.

Tannehill would probably make him look stupid too.

He's an interesting name that Chambers has brought up before in VIP Chat. Took his lumps at Bama but has resurrected his career in Carolina and has done a mighty fine job in the process. The Shula name IMO is not a "bad" thing.

There are no sure things, but Shula is running one of the most balanced offenses in the NFL. If Philbin were not to survive the carnage, I'd atleast throw him an interview. Hopefully he can bring Ken Dorsey along with him as he has the makings of a prime OC in his future.

Wow that's weird, Newton was allowed to have 2 years! I thought he was a bust once he got half way through year 2? I'm confused...

What is wrong with some... Yes go to the past. We need the past right now... not these so called innovators. Yes to Shula and Marino.

Oh the irony...

Dude failed as a head coach at Alabama of all places where he had unlimited resources, and I'm supposed to believe he's gotten good enough to coach a bad NFL team?

I don't care what his last name is. No. God no.

Took the words right out of my mouth

Our next HC needs to be someone who has/had success as an NFL HC (I.e. Gruden, Cowher, Dungy.. Someone). No more first timers training on the jobbers and no college coaches!

For accuracy purposes, Mike took over a program that was hammered by NCAA sanctions. The first two recruiting classes he inherited had an average star rating of 2.4 stars. Alabama had scholarship limits at the time, could play in post season, and also wasn't getting a piece of the SEC pie.

Mike still went 10-2 in his 3rd year at Alabama. In his final year, he went 6-6. Guess what. Nick Saban came in the year after that and went 7-6 and lost to Louisiana Monroe.

So, this idea that he had unlimited resources at Alabama is not accurate.

Mike was 26-23 at Alabama with probation restrictions against SEC competition. Jim Harbaugh was 29-21 at Stanford against Pac 10 competition, but everyone wanted him when Stephen Ross treked across the country in an attempt to woo him to Miami before firing his existing coach.

Shula's qualifications aside...
I would fear if it ever go to an interview that the bloodlines would actually be a consideration.
The bloodlines should never be a consideration.
We need the best man for the job not the best Shula for the job.
