What a great post. One of the reasons folks have thrown out for keeping Shafer were that he was a great defensive coach going through a down year... however I've been banging the drum that Shafer is a great D coach only when facing a pro-style offense or a very run oriented offense where his guys can sit on the run game.  Any time we have faced a pass heavy offense with a mobile QB we have been torched and unfortunately almost all of college football is moving to the spread pass heavy featuring QB runs offense. I'm not technical enough to understand why we have sucked so hard against these types of offense but I think your analysis gave me some insight into that. I also agree on the discipline issues which have been going on since the Marrone years... this is one are where I thought Shafer had actually improved the team this year. Also whole-heartedly agree on run run pass... these guys wanted to grind out games and rely on their defense to win games for them... makes no sense given the state of college football in 2015 and more importantly how bad our D was at getting off the field in 2015.
