Hearing that Syracuse defensive coordinator Scott Shafer has emerged as a strong candidate for Cuse HC vacancy.
I like Shafer a lot, and think he would do a good job as HC. If I had to choose between him and Hackett, I would chose Hackett because I think good offensive minds are harder to find than good defensive ones. Really like where our offense is now and want it to continue.@BFeldmanCBS

I'm good with him. I would also gauge interest from Golden and Diaco and see if they could be lured. It's gonna cost them, but its time for SU to decide if they want to go big time or go home.

If Shafer becomes HC and Hackett is retained as the OC, at a significant pay raise, I would be happy. Personally, I think DM will go after Hackett hard and the only way to retain him is to make him the HC.
If this turns out to be true, I would hire Hackett as HC.
Because of the timing, there are no really appealing candidates out there in our price range, even if the HC salary is expanded to 2 million/year. I am fine with making a search now, seeing if anyone qualified is out there and interested, but it shouldn't last for 2 or 3 weeks. A few days should be more than sufficient to see what other options are out there besides hiring from the inside.
The spring semester starts next week. IMHO, we need a new HC in place before then.
isn't hackett a few years removed from high school? too fresh faced to be considered for a HC job at this point.
Why are so many people down on him as HC? Sincere question, I have no opinion.

My understanding is that he has had the chance to be a HC in the MAC at least twice in the past and turned it down.Tom...have you or anyone here ever had any talks with Shafer regarding his future plans and if being a HC was something he wanted to do? What type of coach he would be?
Not sure why people are so high on Golden. Intraconference head coaching moves are rare and frowned upon. Besides, if Golden builds up Miami to what it once was, he can replace Bill O'Brien when he leaves for the NFL eventually.
