All coaches come in saying the right things. I’ll just sit back a wait for the results.
Shurmur is just like so many other coaches, he’s a square peg in a round hole coach. He’s got to have the perfect players to run his specific scheme because he absolutely refuses to run anything else or to fit the scheme to his players’ strengths. He believes that the scheme is tried and true and if the scheme fails and the offense isn’t effective in that scheme, then it’s because of a lack of execution by his players, not on his unwillingness or inability to adjust his scheme to the defense or his players.
He is that “run it again” coach who will continue to run the same play over and over even though the defense has it figured out because he believes that if run perfectly, it’s indefensible which most of us know is bullshit. There’s a reason he’s been fired so many times in his career and while he’s had some success as an OC, the majority of it hasn’t been very good. It will be interesting to see if he gets another job in this league after this one. Especially if Hackett turns our offense around this year without Rodgers.

And the worst part of him is that his system wasn't even that special. A guy like Mike Martz at least could say his scheme helped maximize the ability of great offensive players. Shurmur had his day in the NFL, and he's had some success. . . but those days are gone. If you're a one trick pony it can only take you so far.
And now that pony shall be made into glue!
