Well of course he can. Gene Chizik won a national championship, fer heaven's sake. Shaw's put out playoff-quality teams in 2011, 2012, 2013, and 2015. In 2014 the team had the talent but was waylaid in large part by the sad situation with Hogan's father. (Also, in large part, Shaw's poor coaching that year.)

So it's silly to declare he can't. Let's just give you this example to demonstrate why not: http://thecomeback.com/freezingcoldtakes...-gone.html

And I don't think the harsh critiques of Dabo back in the day were entirely unearned! The thing about Dabo, though, is that he's always been extremely and effectively adaptable. Shaw is...less so. Like the old Churchill line, he sometimes gets around to doing the right thing after all the other options are exhausted.

We got lucky despite coaching tonight - we were literally coaching to maximize the other opponent’s chance of winning.  Yes chizick sucked but he didn’t try to sandbag games this bad.  See UDub with Nunez or this game or others with very questionable game management
