Message: [QUOTE="SoBristol, post: 1545063, member: 485"] I am not defending Marrone's recruiting of QBs. He was lucky to have Nassib, and Nassib's durability was a big key to the success Marrone achieved here. My point is that Shafer is accountable for his own decisions and his own recruiting. Take 2014. Shafer went with Hunt, plus nothing behind him. Shafer's decision, not Marrone's. Yes, Shafer could have gone the Paulus route or (my preference) brought in a juco QB. He ran a huge risk when he didn't, and the result followed. Other head coaches, in Shafer's position, would have foreseen the need and acted. Same movie entering 2015. How obvious was it that our secondary was undersized and inexperienced? A different head coach would have been looking at JUCOs in the 2014 recruiting cycle for safeties with adequate size to play in the ACC. Shafer did not do that. He can't say Marrone should have left him with a better set of dbs. [/QUOTE]
