We seem to always be exceptional on one side of the ball and just short on the other side. And I suppose that's bound to happen, given how hard it is to just be exceptional on one side of the ball, so that's more likely the case even for the historic programs. But it's a learning curves for the program and coaches, and it comes down to whether they learn enough and have the right luck to get exceptional on both sides. While Shaw has some qualities we'd like him to improve just a little to get over that hump, he has shown exceptional strengths in the other areas to get us where we are. It comes down to whether you think he will learn and adapt enough to get over that last hump; I, personally, think he will, though it might take closer to 10 years than 2. But that's the fun part of the ride!
