I may be a complete clown here, but I literally never considered the possibility that the funds are there to hire a new OC with a proven record of success, but Shafer isn't interested in doing that. I truly did not. I figured the Lester promotion was either a plan to keep together this recruiting class and a change to a new OC was possible after NLI day or there just was no money available from the administration to bring in the kind of talent you can bring in for $600,000 or $750,000. If Shafer isn't money limited and sticks with Lester, you are right, he will live or die with Lester, whose effectiveness will determine whether Shafer is still here in 2016.

If Shafer could pay his guys more he would. I would guess that it's money and a real belief in Lester as OC.

Yes, and no. If he had it to blindly throw around then "yes". If he had to justify overspending on unproven P-5 coaches then "no".
If he were to have identified a proven P-5 OC or a hot candidate from a non-P-5 program then I suspect that the necessary funds could be found.

Oklahoma brings in Lincoln Riley from ECU as OC. ECU's offense has been incredible under Riley. We need exactly that, there can be no dispute. Oh, we don't have the playmakers or talent for it? Please! And ECU does? Yes they do and so do we! Add a few hundred thousand to the budget and increase revenues that more than pay for it, along with making this team Big time bowl runners immediately! If by some crazy luck OU doesn't hire him, we know he will leave for the right money. Make the dang money right!
