Message: [QUOTE="TheCusian, post: 1517841, member: 2585"] People keep saying two things re:Marrone vs Shafer - Marrone had more marque wins and that's true (major check for Marrone) - And that Shafer was hired to maintain Marrone's success If you look at the stats, Shafer has maintained the offense at bad/mediocre and maintained the defense at decent (major check for Shafer as a defensive mind). In Marrone's two 8 win seasons we had the easiest two schedules in the last 8 years. Marrone's offense in 2012 is the only year better than the 2008 Robinson team. Let that sink in. And Robinson did it against a much harder schedule. Too much is being made of Marrone's successes (built largely on an improved defense). This years offense is smack in the middle of an average Marrone year, with a freshman QB. Our defense is letting us down for the first time since 2011. And we play a slightly higher SOS in the ACC.
