He has definitely developed from his first couple of years in the NFL. The dominant referall was to when he was in college. I've never seen anything like it. Of course he's still pretty darn dominant when he needs to be. I just look at their offense and it so darn simple. I think Denver will figure them out. I'll give Shula at least some of the credit for Cam's development but not a whole lot.

1. He filled a need. 2. He is one of us. 3. He was what we needed at the time. I wish him well in all future endeavors.

This same team went 8-7-1 last year. Oh and, Mike Shula is the OC but Ken Dorsey is the QB coach.
So, the only reason this thread is on our board is because Mike Shula is the OC for Newton's team that is going to the Super Bowl. He could be considered a failure as our head coach but I would submit that it was not so much his failure as it was ours. I mean, he should have never been put in that position in the first place. He should never have been a candidate. But at that snapshot in time he served a purpose...steadied the ship so to speak. I am appreciative for his dedication as a player and also for his time as our head coach. He did the best he could and he did it in a first class way. He cut his teeth coaching wise as a quarterbacks coach in the NFL and now proving to be an adequate coordinator. Cam makes him look brilliant at times but that is true for most coaches - elite players make everyone around them look good. This is a unique story for us Tide fans but that is it. Win or lose things will not change after Sunday. Cam will always be a supreme athlete with questionable character and Mike will be a highly respectable career position coach/coordinator in the NFL.
Again, I have no idea how Shula would do as a HC. I don't think that his success as an OC or QB coach answers that question. And I also don't think that his failure as a HC at Alabama decides anything, either. Remember, Belichick once failed miserably as a HC, returned to his role as a DC, later becoming the greatest HC in the history of the NFL.

And if memory serves, he had the NCAA to deal with and he brought dignity and no matter what stability at a time bama really needed it
