I feel so bad for Dungey. Shafer's worst mistake wasn't leaving him in the game today (although that was a terrible decision). IMO, Dungey's injury is a symptom of a larger issue. Week in, and week out, we trot an 18 year old qb out to play against 22 year old seasoned athletes, behind a severely under-performing offensive line coached by Joe Adam, who last coached an offensive line at Harper College in the late 90's before being hired at Syracuse. IMO, that is why Dungey is getting banged up. We are running a system where the qb is prone to take hits, behind an offensive line that cannot execute, because it is not coached well. Hiring Adam to coach and mentor the O-line is/was Shafer's biggest mistake--IMO even bigger than the McDonald hire. This O-line is better athletically than any grouping during Marrone's tenure, and yet it gets exposed week after week after week. Staff matters, and I hope the University will open the check book to hire quality seasoned assistants for the next HC.

Lester is just as bad IMO ... took a Division 3 coach and made him OC after being with the program for 1.5 years? Shafer went all in on him ... I still don't get it.
