LOL the answer is “of course he is.”  This is the Mother of All Don Quixote topics IMO. I think I’ve long given up on this issue and tried to accept the results, as boring and frustrating as they may be.  I’ll reserve the right to bitch and moan in real time, because it’s not as entertaining as I would like it to be, but it’s Shaws job to get the W, so there.

You’ve worn me down, David, I surrender. And I confess that 7 games into this season I still don’t know how good (or bad) your team really is.  I thought at the start of the year 8-4 — please prove me wrong!

8-4 appears quite likely to me. I don't think we are going to beat both Wazzu and Washington, and another loss besides that hardly seems out of the question. 
If you find that depressing, just think back to the olden days (like Walsh I's second season) when that record was considered highly satisfactory.
