New York Giants: What Mike Shula brings to Big Blue

The New York Giants made the news official on Thursday, and it didn’t take long for Carolina Panthers fans to start cracking jokes at Big Blue’s latest hire.

The Panthers fired Shula just last month. The responses from Carolina fans on social media were quite similar to New Yorkers’ reaction of the Cincinnati Bengals signing of Bobby Hart.

“Inconsistency” led to Shula’s dismissal, according to Panthers team reporter Bill Voth.

In five seasons as Carolina’s offensive coordinator, Shula led the Panthers to a top 10 scoring offense just once. But that year resulted in a Super Bowl appearance and a 15-1 regular season record.
