A lot of you video game guys are moving the goalposts . The fans were led to believe that if Shafer was replaced with a competent coach , all our problems would be solved and we would surely be going to a bowl , maybe a bigger bowl . Now your saying we lack talent to compete and that is Scott's fault . If only Shafer was bright enough to realize that we would have a better team if he recruited better players , what a dope . Now we should be patient , OK , great . I like Dino as much as Scott , but the expectations are already baked in the cake the way the last coach was treated and what was said about a quick return to success under Babers . That is where things are at and it is not a really a very solid position .
Scott Shafer had to go because not only did he have an offense the last two years that averaged 116th in total offense, 84th in rushing offense, 110th in passing offense, 109th in passing efficiency, 98th in scoring, 117th in first downs, 111th in 3rd down conversions, and 3.5 wins a year, but he had the worst defense since Gerg's last year, 98th in total defense, 78th in rushing, 100th in passing, 99th in pass efficiency defense, and 90th in scoring. The combined ranking of total offense and total defense was 216, which was worst than Gergs last year and only surpassed by the epic 2007 season which set what must be close to an all time NCAA historical worst of 225 when SU was ranked 114 total offense and 111th in total defense.
That's why Shafer had to go.
