Forget the Mac & Shafer Comparisons

[OrangeinBoston]

Mac could find under-the-radar recruits that could really play. Shafer, yes, has improved recruiting a little, but there are no difference makers of the kind Mac found.

Mac had an OC who had a plan. In fact, for that era, the offensive scheme was revolutionary and took advantage of the players on the roster and the dome environment. Shafer doesn't have any of this.

you cannot compare the two, they are different times with different variables.
