My question is...is Shafer learning and growing as an HC?  One wish I have is that he were the DC for himself but that isn't possible.   I see potential in a lot of ways and I see some negative.  I'm fine with him being the HC but he has some tough decisions ahead of him regarding his loyalty to the staff... if SU would pay for a quality staff, being a "players coach" and how that might cause issues regarding discipline.  I'm not an insider so I have no clue how the interaction is between him and his players and staff are but this thing needs to be tightened up because due to injuries, depth issues and talent mistakes that have been made can no longer been accepted.

Also...props to GMac for accepting the blame on this offense.  I've heard P and Deleon for years blame the kids and execution/right game plan thing and credit to him for realizing this is on him.  Now...to grow and figure this stuff out and teach/coach these players to be in the right place and set them up for success.   No more 6 yard passes to a guy that is double covered when it is 3rd and 8 due to it one time being 3rd and 3 but an offsides penalty put it back 5 yards.  Be cerebral because you have to be or it's good night nurse.
