No idea how good Shafer will be, though I'm certainly optimistic. What i like about him is that a big part of any college coach's job is finding a way to motivate and get these 19-year-old kids to eat, drink and breath football 24-7. I don't want to say used car salesman-type personality, because it's not, but you do have to get these kids to buy into t-shirt slogan axioms. Shafer sounds like a guy who can absolutely do that.
 
I tend to think both Coker and Stewart get a bad rap, though. I mean, Stewart won 27 games in three years and guided WVU to one of the best bowl wins in its history. Coker was 60-15 in six years, won a national title, played for another and was in contention for a third opportunity late in 2003. Yeah, they really struggled toward the end but that may have been more of a systemic issue than Coker himself, right? I mean it's not like Randy Shannon or even Golden (as of yet) have figured it out either. And Holgerson isn't tearing it up at WVU for that matter.
