This is one of my biggest concerns as well. I think Shaf is a great guy. For continuity reasons I really really hope he succeeds, but he simply has seemed overmatched in his two years as head coach at a great number of times. Silly play calls, bad coaching etc., isn't always "his fault" per say, as we know Gmac struggled mightily. However, so many questions arise as we enter a critical year, including all the ones you spoke too. I would also argue, having a 5th year TH as the bonafide, no competition starter is a scary proposition. He is a very shaky passer, and a decent runner without elite speed. Does that speak to HCSS struggles. Not being able to get someone in here to at least put pressure on TH? Without him getting better in the pocket teams will stack the line again, forcing us into a very difficult situation offensively and with a suspect OL. We will also have to score a bunch to win this year, as our defense will be young and most likely mistake prone. There are question marks, everywhere.

Basically it sucks to have to enter yet another year without great expectations. When we beat WVU in the Pinstripe bowl, I could sense us becoming such a factor. I think its somewhat safe to say we didn't capitalize on that momentum. We aren't necessarily trending down, but aren't necessarily trending up either. This year will determine the axis.
