Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1734669, member: 2585"] The guy was recognized as one of the best young coaches nationally in 2009. I think we should afford him space to get the job done before we worry too much. Hasn't coached a down here. Had one season to implement his system at BGSU and they improved. I don't think this has sunk in yet... But we're going to score a bunch anyways. We're giving the other team lots of extra opportunities due to how fast we'll play on O. They'll be taking chances because they'll know they have to keep up (or that no lead is safe). It would be the same story if Shafer was DC. That's why BGSU D's stats don't look as good as teams that play it safe and slow (like a lot of our teams in the past). Just think how much worse our D from last year would look if we gave the other team 4-5 more possessions!? [/QUOTE]
