    An average star rating of 3.28 seems a bit underwhelming coming off a rose bowl plunger victory vs mighty Iowa.

    Would you think more highly of their class if they took 4* Bisharat over 2* Maddox? They had their choice and preferred Maddox.

    They have an identity. They are getting their pick of players nationwide that fit that identity. They are kicking ass.
    Not saying they are doing bad. Clearly they identify a specific type of a player and develop him into their system. It seems to be working.

    However I think its funny that everyone is sucking Shaw's dick over a class that averages 3.28 stars but if Petersen had just came off a Rose Bowl victory and pulled the same type of class everyone would be destroying him. I'm still not a huge believer in Shaw as a head coach but I have to give him the benefit of the doubt re: recruiting given their on the field performance during his time as HC.

    Holy strawman, batman! That is an absolutely ludicrous comparison. CCCP coming off a Rose Bowl win would be a god who could do no wrong.

    54-14, 36-9. 4 top ten finishes in 5 years. What can he do to make you a believer? Winners win. Shaw has proven everyone wrong- he is a winner.
    His first year he inherited Andrew Luck. Petersen inherited Cyler Miles and Lindquist. His rose bowl victories have been against an 8-5 lame duck Wisconsin team coached by the athletic director and Iowa. Sorry but I'm not a big Iowa guy. He was 8-5 last season with Hogan. He's a good coach. Never said he wasn't. In general he beats who he is supposed to beat. But I don't consider him elite.

    Actually I think he always shits a game against a team he should beat, which is what kept him out of multiple playoff appearances. Northwestern, USC, UW... That alone keeps him from being a top tier coach, but he is very good and right on the tier below Saban/Meyer.

    We (?) are going to have to give Shaw his due. Is he perfect? No. But he's pretty damn good all around the job

    Kind of the Black Les Miles

    People that rip David Shaw haven't a clue. He took a very good program and kept it very good to excellent. They may be a bit down next year. But a 10 win Season is a down year for them these days.

    And He's a LOT better coach than Les Miles.

    Miles has a very good record and winner's win, but I've watched enough LSU football to realize he is one stupid motherfucker. He's also the coach of the only two loss champion.

    The record is what it is though. It's pretty easy to make a case why he's a good coach.

    Miles is a borderline retard.

    But the ease of recruiting Louisiana athletes to LSU makes up for a lot of stupid.
