Message: [QUOTE="Crusty, post: 1220423, member: 2265"] I think that is correct. I am also starting to suspect that given what now appear to be rather severe budget constraints Shafer did the best he could hiring staff - given the time constraints as well. What we are probably faced with as a result is the inevitable learning curve for some of our guys. Lester appears to be a smart guy and while he may not have the best experience for a P5 OC, he will probably adjust pretty fast. I probably wouldn't just judge him by what he runs next year becasue if he has a brain in his head he will have to adapt his preferenes to the talent at hand. Unless or until a QB develops that can actually read and pass at a P5 level, he will probably be very conservative. We are realistically looking at 2017 before we have a season with the potential of 2012. As long as we see steady improvement and continued success in recruiting, I can handle that. [/QUOTE]
