I am in the boat where Shafer finishes his contract.   Not alcohol induced as said in another thread.

I think HCSS is not the best at game situations but I think those coaches are few and far between.   I think that is something that is masked when you have talent.  Talent we haven't had in years and to be honest are just starting to get.   I believe this is an area you can get better in over time.

I don't think you can turn a program around as fast as some think and for those who want to throw up Marrone you never know because he left.  Fact is he left at the same time as Nassib and Marrone knew what we had coming in and what was here.  Fact is you need to be able to recruit.

Some have said Coyle would be smart to cut ties.  I say that is foolish with the sample size Coyle has.   Why would I as AD cut ties when all he has is one year left.  I think we have a good group coming in as well as most of the talent we have is young.

My biggest thing is the fact that Shafer has been able to identify talent early often and not always a main stream person which is imparitive when we are trying to find things that other teams have overlooked.  This is where we make up ground which we have talent wise.  Not everyone can identify talent and it is something that is as important as a game plan.  Again you can learn to game plan.

I know I'm in the minority here but I can't let all these threads calling for his head go by.  This team at frickin 3-9 hasn't given up on him even after being down 14 to the number 1 team.  I can't  either.  I have faith that he is on the right path to how we have to rebuild.  We are not a national power so we have to work twice as hard.
