Message: [QUOTE="blizz, post: 935762, member: 4252"] I get the anxiety given the situation. As many have stated, the persistent doubts about this guys credentials seem to overemphasize the obvious: this guy is a young up and comer, so of course he's going to underwhelm on paper. Let's remember that Scott Shafer is highly respected within coaching circles, and I think we can agree that the guys he's brought on to this point demonstrates very good ability to assess a person's coaching aptitude. There's not much to do but welcome the guy aboard, wish him well, and save your critique for when we have some product on the field to evaluate. Also, you guys who observed (very astutely I might add) the connection with a possible Smith departure, let's all hope that's not the case. [/QUOTE]
