Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 935211, member: 338"] While waiting on confirmation that (1) he was hired, and (2) what his coaching role really is, two things: Folks are going to have to get used to the fact that Shafer generally prefers to hire guys he has worked with, or who can be vouched for by other guys Shafer has worked with. He's not going to go looking at other BCS schools, or even MAC schools, and try to hire away just anyone. Regardless of what you as a fan think makes a potential coach attractive, if he isn't from the Shafer tree, he's only going to get a look after the tree has been exhausted. That probably applies to recruiting territory also. Guy has experience as a recruiting coordinator. This gives us a guy to fill in for Daoust when he moves on to take a DC position sometime sooner than later. [/QUOTE]
