The reason Shafer was fired is because he was in over his head.

Shafer brought in mediocre coaches who were his friends. When he needed to make changes on offense, he handed the reins from one friend to another. He protected Joe Adam for no apparent reason. Players in the secondary only seemed to regress. Why was Fred Reed never held accountable? Shafer felt loyal to those people and refused to make changes when changes were obviously needed.

I'd like Mahoney to get a scholarship, but in a throwing system, why would they give a scholarship to a guy who made a couple of memorable throws and a ton of horrible ones without increased scrutiny?

I feel like this board has approached this coaching change as one where they want everything to change, as long as nothing changes. Keep Hicks! Keep Daoust! Keep Acosta! Give Mahoney a scholarship!

What was going on here wasn't working. No one deserves anything if they can't earn their keep.
