I think SS was above-average as the DC. It doesn't mean he was great. The D has done an okay job with the lack of offensive support it has gotten. SS was never a candidate for a P5 job before Marrone left. He was hired to continue the momentum of Marrone. Marrone took over a program that had gone 10-37 in 4 years and brought it to 25-25 in 4 years.

Shafer didn't have a complete rebuild when he became HC. He is suppose to be going upward. To get where Doug Marrone was after 4 years SS has to go 15-10 in the next 2 years. Las Vegas has our O/U for wins in 2015 at 4.5.

Sorry if I am not optimistic. I want to be wrong. When the OC talks about 3 NFL offenses and the only experience is D-3 I get scared. The athletes and skill in D-3 is not even close to D-1AA and that is even talking about P5 D-1 football.

The offense has not shown ANYTHING. I mean its not exactly going to catch ANYONE that off guard. They would have more leeway if the spring game had excitement or this OC wasn't the OC over the worst 5 games from a P5 team in the last 10 years during the previous season.
