If we improve with a different offensive scheme I will be overjoyed to give credit to the staff. I agree with the point that DM bears a large measure of responsibility for the offensive results (and they were very offensive) but that just proves my point that Hackett is doing on-the-job training and their is NOTHING to support that he is an up and coming coach. Maybe he is a genius waiting to blossom - I hope so - but, so far anyway, it has not been a stellar record. That is all I am saying.
 
The blocking scheme for the OLine was changed and that may have been an error in appraising the abilities of the OLine. I may be off base with this hypothosis but it is worth considering.
 
Shafer's record provides a great deal of OBJECTIVE criteria on which to base a judgment of competency. That is my point - Hackett has no such OBJECTIVE criteria to offer as yet. Certainly, you will concede that point.
 
Of course talent is part of the result but how a coach uses the talent is what they call er... oh yes, coaching. IMO the coaching job last year did not get the most out of the talent on the field. I don't like saying it but I think it is true. I am a huge fan of DM but I think the criticism is fair.
