In general, I think it's not very useful to spend much time analyzing Shaw's press conferences because I don't think he reveals much about what he's really thinking.
In Shaw's post-ND press conference, he indicated that he is turning his focus to recruiting. I got the impression that Shaw was trying to be as positive as circumstances would allow in an attempt to support his recruiting efforts. I think maybe he wanted to avoid scaring recruits away by being too negative about the program. I would view his comments in that context.
That said, I thought Shaw made a couple of brief comments that I found interesting:
"A lot of things we have to do, a lot of discussions we have to have, some difficult discussions. . . ."
"Some things coaching-wise, which I won't go into detail, that we need to look at. . . ."
