Message: [QUOTE="Orijinal, post: 827541, member: 2359"] Yes. He's a head coach with a defensive coordinator background, which I thought certainly spelled trouble when Syracuse named him top dog. The life blood of a college team is the offensive line and offense in general--needed know-how and skill here to keep offenses on the field and alleviate pressure on defense. Didn't think Syracuse would go anywhere with a head coach who is more clueless about offense than defense. But Shaf apparently knows people who can get the job done on that side of the ball. The danger is when McDonald gets really good, will he stay? Hearing how he has taken the comments from ignorant people on Syracuse.com does not lead me to believe he will be inclined to. Combine that with his track record, and after a couple more solid offensive seasons, it will be a big question mark. Will Shaf be able to make another solid hire at that point? [/QUOTE]
