What kind of strategy is that? What gives you a greater chance at success? A proven O that has worked everywhere or hiring OCs who have little experience and haven't worked under good OCs themselves?

My main point was that the only way a school like SU can have coaching stability is to either hire an O guy as HC or hire a D HC who picks a system that can have OCs plugged in. You need stability on O to have a successful program. Even if Lester is a good OC, there is no stability as the next OC will run a different system. Then that guy needs time to recruit to his system. If you hire a Mumme tree guy you have stability. If you hire a Paul Johnson tree guy you have stability. I don't care what O it is, but strategically that is what Shafer should have done.

Shafer can be here for 20 years but that doesn't give us any stability if the OC is changing every 3 years. Technically is it fair to judge Lester before he has had 3 seasons here as OC? He will be using Marrone and McDonald recruits that were brought here for different systems.
