You don't think a guy who has been to three Rose Bowls and won two is capable of being successful?  What exactly does Shaw need to do to demonstrate that he can be successful?

Go back to another one. The team has been punched in the mouth; get back up.

Absolutely! But some people pretend like Shaw is incapable of being successful. We forget that he won the PAC-12 north two years ago (with absolutely none of Harbaigh’s recruits, yet in this thread someone claimed that his success came on Harbaugh’s coattails).

It is entirely possible that Shaw goes into a tailspin, and that his lack of success on the field leads to subpar recruiting, which in turn leads to persistently bad play on the field, though we’ve seen no evidence that recruiting has suffered.  But I don’t think this outcome is preordained, or that changing coordinators will necessarily prevent such an outcome.
