Is anyone else concerned about the mounting evidence (in my view) that Shaw is a very conservative decision-maker and that his conservatism may turn SU into the type of retro-Big 10 type team we used to mock?

Will that be a retro-Big 10 type team that won titles like Michigan, Ohio State, and Wisconsin; or a shitty retro-Big 10 type team like Indiana?

I'll just pop into this thread long enough to say that if you knew that setting up an easy field goal to win the game with 0:00 on the clock was stupid while you watched it happen, you should be in a different line of work.

And long enough to say I haven't a clue whether Nunes is better than Nottingham, but there is more to running an offense than having an arm and upside.  I'd bet Shaw believes Nunes has better command of everything he has to do (picking up coverages, audibling, etc, etc) than Nottingham, so he thinks he has a better chance of winning with Nunes. Until he doesn't.

Besides, when is the last time we've had an actual quarterback controversy around here?  I mean if you don't count the decision to redshirt Luck?

I'm not sure how to respond to our Soviet friend here other than ???????  Right, new coach David Shaw says goodbye to superstar Luck and is threatened by Nottingham's "winning energy"?  He'll be threatened with the loss of his job eventually if he doesn't win, so I don't get Red Army's line of thinking at all, unless Red Army is really Nottingham's mother.
