I don't agree.  Shafer played QB in college, and was a GREAT defensive coordinator.  Rob Moore was from the NY area, starred for the Jets (and Cuse) and could not recruit NY/NJ at all.  I don't know that a GREAT offensive line coach, with strong recruiting ties to the North Atlantic exists.  You find a sharp young mind and give him an opportunity at a higher level in a smaller role.

Most coaches at every level (including the pros) coach varied positions (including positions they've never played or coached on prior- on both sides of the ball; and sometimes they've never played the game at a high level at all-does that DQ them?). From the brief bio, he looks like he was elevated to head coach, he ran recruiting, worked early in his career under Brian Kelley (who has GREAT track record of hiring strong coaches and recruiters).  He seems like a sharp guy moving up the ladder.
Jimbo Fisher lost a slew of coordinators off his staff the last couple years (a few of them took "better" roles).  He replaced them with other talented coaches and just scored a national title.

You don't just "pay the offensive line coach more. " That doesn't keep people in roles in the coaching profession (for the most part). They look for the higher job title, or similar in a bigger school.  We took a head coach, and are making him a position coach at the next level of college football.  That sounds right.
