I’ll say the obvious, which is that “lack of execution” is not an indictment of the players; it’s an indictment of the coaches. What Shaw is saying is that the talent level is there, which it largely is. Recruiting has been in the top-25 for years, with one bad year in 2018.  Based on the talent and ability of the high school kids that came into the roster, this team should be good, or at least better than average. That we haven’t played up to our potential, whose fault do you think that is?  And do you think Shaw doesn’t know that?

If it's NOT the players' execution he's referring to, what did he mean by this statement?

"Three weeks in a row, we were evenly matched, but we make a few errors against really good football teams that lead to points."

Whose errors lead to points?

And it would be your assertion that the players were perfect in their execution?  I agree with BC.  Shaw does not strike me as a person lacking introspection; nor does he seem to lack a sense of responsibility.  Your effort to interpret his comments in order to imply otherwise is, I think, disingenuous.
