Are you really insisting on comparing Scott Shafer to Greg Robinson?

Really?

Recall that when Marrone left, so did Ryan Nassib, Alec Lemon, Chandler Jones [and Justin Pugh?]; the 2013 recruiting class for that year and nearly the entire coaching staff.

I think most objective folks would agree that Scott did a pretty decent job in 2013.

And, I think most would agree that he was faced with a nightmare scenario when he lost his QBs during the 2013 season. And, by last year Scott was working with a very, very green defensive unit.

Clearly, he whiffed on George McDonald, but in my opinion did not whiff on Tim Lester, who I think ran a pretty effective offense last year given the brief amount of time he had to develop his offensive program. (Coach Babers maintains that it takes more than one season to install an offense)

And, I will acknowledge that Scott pressed a lot last year and made some decisions that I would not have made - he did so knowing that his job was on the line.

But, again, trying to make a comparison to the Greg Robinson era is just not accurate or fair.

Sorry, we disagree on that by a lot.
