I attended an event where Billy Beane was they speaker recently. He commented that what made him a mediocre pro player was that he could not handle when he performed poorly; outstanding players can walk a player and throw the next pitch right down the middle of the strike zone and know that the opposing batter will miss.

My concern about Shaw is that he needs to be that kind of a coach. If he is not that kind of coach, his players will not be that kind of players. I am not and have not been calling for Shaw's head to roll, but I think that is the fundamental change he needs to make as an individual to become a great coach.

He also needs to keep in mind that from here out, until we get the 6th win, every drive that gets past the 50 is in 4 down territory.
