Citing our proclivity for bad punts doesn't get you off the hook for dismissing a pretty solid defensive identity/system. Drastic changes that were brought on by almost the entire offensive staff bolting for the NFL. His plan was to provide continuity on defense - check. While taking a chance on a - then - would be elite recruiter from the SEC/FL. Didn't work out. Getting Acosta on board and getting into NJ seems like it's tied to a plan. Also - we know what we want on defense recruit wise and have done really well there. The chance he took offensively made our offensive recruiting appear schizophrenic - but I'd trust the direction now. So in retrospect - Shafer made a bad hire. That's it. And maybe Addazzio is ahead because this isn't his first HC gig? Maybe he had his own "Mcit"?!? [/QUOTE]
