#1. Our defense was ranked #27 in the country last year man.  That's with our struggles on offense.  Its not like they have stunk all along and this year they are just young.
#2. That's not how recruiting works .  Shafer as a DC had to get guys that Marrone wanted.  Not the other way around. 
#3. Marrone took the entire offensive staff and system with him.  While Shafer had to roll the dice on a recruiter since that was our biggest problem once Marrone left. It didn't work.  Now they are on a new system with a new OC.

No one is saying its a pass and Im getting more and more irritated with the "fans" that think reasons are excuses.  it takes time to start over unless a coach is given losts of good older players to work with.

For the record Matt Rhule is 13-16 in his tenure as coach.  Shafer is 13-18.  and that's not including 3 years of ACC football that includes FSU and Clemson each year.  With at least #8 LSU and #8 Notre Dame out of conference.

Rhule was 2-10 2013 and 6-6 in 2014   -  Not exactly an immediate game changer.
