Message: [QUOTE="OttoMets, post: 2291777, member: 716"] Which Shafer then ruined by backing Idiot-Child McDonald over Perles, an established and capable coach. When faced with the prospect of being unemployed or working with McDonald for another few months, Perles said "Nah, I'm good." And then Shafer replaced him with someone who'd never coached offensive line before. And it showed. Yeah, he was a well-intentioned and decent person. But damned if he didn't make some of the dumbest, most indefensible decisions I've heard of in coaching. Not stuff where hindsight is 20/20, but the sort of thing where half this board was second-guessing him right off the bat. As far as the OL thing goes, kids like Hickey and Trudo deserved a lot better. [/QUOTE]
