Probably good for the team to be under-appreciated, under-valued by the college football press. Chip on the shoulder thing. I am more optimistic than seems others are on the coaching situation. There's a strong nucleus in place and bringing somebody more established, experienced might mean also a person more set in his ways. Shaw intends on being in control of the culture, the fit of any new addition. And I'll go out on a limb and say again that I suspect Kotulski was a very solid Shaw hire, the only one significant Shaw hire of somebody from outside of Stanford. Although Kotulski overlapped with Derek Mason in past positions.

Reasons to hope the offense might be stronger in '13: Hogan as a better developed QB, and a stronger more formidable offensive line. Also, six 4-star running backs on the roster.
