Top 40 out of 300 is basically top 20 out of 116. But Milly doesn't like that stat.

I think there are pro's and cons to Shafer's hiring practices. Did we get the top guy? Not close. Did we get someone who is capable of doing the job at a high level - we'll see. But if you're going with the "guys Shafer trusts model" and it contributes to recruiting (Rex and RW44 both cited the family feel). Sometimes it's good to go with the guy you trust over the guy you're not sure fits, but hey, he had a great offensive mind.

I don't know why you think it's going to take 4 years. The offense is a system he built at Elmhurst. Any guy you bring in will have x amount of years running x system (unless you're Mcit) and will be better at installing and running it in year 5, then year 1. That's a fact. Also - this is the inherent danger in changing OC's and systems a lot - there is always a hill to climb. Again: true for whomever we'd have brought in.

Trying to inoculate yourself from the "be patient" comments is silly. It's true no matter what, even if we look great in the first 3 games. If you're expecting perfection out of the box with any OC or system - you're probably nuts.
