Can't see how anybody can defend Shoop at this point.
I think Shoop had no idea how poor the whole defensive squad was. Looked fairly good with Mabin, Sutton, and ends, but looking deeper, just don't think he looked real hard. That may say something about his ability to evaluate players. I have also wondered if his bailing at Pn St. went deeper than we know.
Well he was forced by Butch to coach with Butch's assistants.
