Now the question is whether Shaw can coach or if last year's success was based on left over Harbaugh EUTM and the senior class leadership. Player personnel clearly is not an excuse, should things decline. I'm cautiously optimistic on Shaw's abilities. I won't hold the few lapses in judgement against him from his rookie season (Harbaugh certainly had his share during his first few years), but he's got all the tools to keep the program in the upper echelon. Let's hope he's up to the task.
