Is it really a coaching failure that there are no tight ends? I suppose it depends on what you mean by "coaching failure" -- part of the problem was Harbaugh's inability to secure a TE in 2011 and Shaw's inability to secure a real one in 2012 -- but, you know, there are going to be holes in your college football team.* It's inherent to the sport. I'd still say our 2010 team was the definitive Stanford team, and that team played Marecic both ways. The question isn't, "are there holes on your team," but "how do you coach and play around them?" I don't think Shaw's done an exactly exemplary job there, but the article is way too overheated.

(Unless you're 'bama or other recruiting juggernaut.)
