I don't know if I can say he left it in a much better place. He inherited a 4.6 win program that had it's first back to back bowl wins since 1995/1996. I am in no way saying that Shafer had us on the right trajectory. I think he needed to go.

I also think Babers came in and we "looked" better with his first two seasons (both 4 win seasons BTW) but after we lost Sean Lewis, the O seemed to take a step back each year with the exception of the miracle 2018 season, his first without Lewis and his last with Shafer recruit Eric Dungy (and Strickland, Custis, Slayton). It can be argued that the 2018 team had more of his recruits than not, but the same has to be said for each team after. Without that season he averaged 3.8 wins. With it, he averaged 4.6.

Fran also had a 10 win season and there were many valuable contributors who were Babers recruits, but Fran brought in some important players for that too, including and especially McCord.
