I really like a lot of what I'm seeing from the new staff.  They look poised to take recruiting to the next level, which is a great thing.  
 
But at this point, I have no idea whether they can coach or not.  Not suggesting they can't, just that it is an unknown [just like it was with Marrone's staff at the same stage].  Shafer is stepping into a new role; ditto McDonald.  I'm really comfortable about the defensive guys, but time will tell.
 
I hope these guys have the chops for game day, because I have a feeling that "Cool Kid McDonald" is really going to energize recruiting!  It will be great to finally land an abundance of playmaking talent, and hopefully break through on a blue chipper or two.  I don't fault Marrone for not landing those guys -- we came really close, at a time when we weren't an attractive option.  Hopefully that perception is changing.  Getting to 7-8 wins next year and qualifying for another bowl will help continue that trend.
 
Hope we find a more than serviceable QB.
