Today's Chronicle quotes Shaw as saying post-game, "We are not that far away." Twice.

Just about sums up the last four years.

C’mon. The horse is dead. Quit beating it…

I think there is a relevant point here.
Coach Shaw seems to be trying to say that he's leaving the program in good shape.
There's not the recent desired wins, but they are "close" to being there.
I think that is a false and misleading narrative.
I was sympathetic with Coach Shaw during press conference until he said if still had one of top 3 running backs healthy we'd now be getting ready to play in a bowl game.
He lost me there.

Would agree if we had the OC/DC/S&C/Other assts from 2010 to 2014. In that case, I'd say yes, we're not that far away.
