Hello,You guys seem to hit it right in regards to Coach Shafer being the scapegoat of this past season.
Therefore, will any offensive coach get the boot for the worse performance in school history or would that admit that the offense was bad this year.
Are you guys happy that it is finally over for Coach Shafer here and this team can move on finally instead of dragging this out past signing day.

Thanks for the question.
The first thing we want to do is wish Coach Shafer the best of luck. At the spring clinic, he was one of the best speakers there… along with Barwis, of course. It was too bad he was not able to run the defense he talked about during the spring clinic because of personnel.
He is a quality person and coach who was caught in bad situation. In our opinion, not everything was his nor his defense's fault, but it's easier for him to resign than for others at this time.
His resigning is probably what's best for Michigan and best for himself. Doing it early gives Michigan time to find the best replacement, and Coach Shafer time to find a new coaching position.
We hope that the next defensive coordinator will mesh with the others on the staff and have control over the defensive unit.
Also, it would be nice to get a defensive coordinator, such as Coach Hopson, and be able to hire a real defensive line coach, because this team is missing a true coach in that position. Coach Tall worked well there so not knocking him or they could move Coach Hopson to cornerbacks and find a good linebacker coach especially if Coach Hopson wants to play something other than a three deep coverage. Coach Hopson is an excellent cornerback coach.
Unless one of the offensive assistant gets an offer for a head coaching job, or is promoted to coordinator, at another program, we expect them to all return.
