Message: [QUOTE="dinosaurbbq, post: 1207359, member: 1333"] Dr. Bill -- you are not considering the possibility that Shafer attempted to just take play calling duties away from McDonald due to an alleged "freeze up" and inability to react or adjust and a myriad of additional issues and McDonald refused to accept it, thereby forcing Shafer to demote him publicly. I have no personal knowledge that is what happen, but that would be my guess for the sole reason it would have been far easier and looked far better to recruits and the public to just take play calling duties away. Yes Shafer has acted with emotion many times now (which I love), but no he isn't stupid and certainly wouldn't want to make his friend McDonald look bad by publicly demoting him if he had a choice.
