Right, but fielding gripes and talking with dissatisfied alums can get annoying.
I remember after the 2009 Stanford USC game I was stuck in South Central traffic, so I elected to listen to the USC radio station. The calls for Carroll to do more were silly. Oh, you'd have thought they were 0-11. How could he let THAT happen? Didn't he have a Plan B? The team has too much talent to not perform better. None of the callers was saying he needed to go, and yet I have to believe that since he was getting treated like an NFL coach he decided he might as well become an NFL coach.
So those that expect Shaw to develop fully baked alternate game plans, all while complying with the NCAA practice limits, should just be careful. Even if Shaw wanted to do some of those things, the NCAA practice limits makes that challenging. However in the NFL he likely could show all of the doubters just what he can do with more time with the players....just like Carroll has done.
Just sayin'
