than a base defense philosophy with Shafer.
From that Bacon interview, it is clear that RR is not married to the 3-3-5, but that the conflict with Shafer was something else. Of the staff, SHafer and Jackson were the only ones unfamiliar to RR, and I think it just didn't work out personality-wise.

He may very well ditch the 3-3-5 at some point, but unless he can't get the coach or players for it, it'll sit in the closet for a while.
