There is no way an obviously "bad" S&C situation would not be addressed. 

Well, obviously "bad" situations at OC, QB, OL, and DL haven't been addressed. . . .

The obviously bad OL issue has been addressed. Shaw has gone through three OL coaches addressing it. It has been addressed, not solved. The DL recruiting has certainly changed focus, becoming much more front and center. No question that has been addressed. Whether it has been "solved" is at least a year away and TBD.

I am unsure why you believe we have an obviously "bad" situation at QB. As far as I can tell, McKee appears to have a lot of potential and upside. He also played pretty well given the teams other limitations. Patu also looks promising. We are in a lot better place than we were back in the days of Burns and Chryst IMHO. I get it that you most probably don't like Tavita as the OC, but IMHO the problems on OL and DL are not a matter of opinion. They exist without question. Nobody I know of, including Shaw, would argue otherwise. The OC issue is not in that category.

How can anyone have an informed opinion on Tavita as Offensive Coordinator when it is so obvious that headset-wearing-Denny's-Menu-Staring David Shaw calls all the plays and runs the offense?  

Tavita could be a GREAT OC, or he could SUCK - but there is no way any of us can know one way or the other given Shaw's control over the O.

This is troubling. Can he really be all that good? Evidently, he's not brimming with ambition. Yes, I know it's cu$hy gig, but a guy with fire in his belly would want get into the arena and grow, right?
