Scott Shafer

[Alsacs]

Did Josh Conklin leave?

Not that I know of but the Pitt D was awful this year and I would guess Narduzzi could make a change.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Maybe Purdue?

Shaf @ Pittsburgh wouldn't be good for us. Would be a great fit, his attacking style with the defensive they can recruit on that side of the ball. Pittsburgh is a Shafer kinda town.

Short passes were always that D's kryptonite.

But he was a great DC.

Very true, but he would be an upgrade and a pain in the neck for us @ pitt.

 

[SUfaninAZ]

Pitt always beats us. No pain in the neck for us than usual.

 

[Crusty]

Wish him well, but would rather not play against his D!

He runs the same Narduzzi defense that we shredded with our backup QB, breaking a Jim Brown record in the process.

I highly doubt he runs the same defense as pat.

No he doesn't.

Pitt has a DC- Josh Conklin.
Why is Shafer mentioned as a candidate?

 

[CuseLegacy]

Pitt has a DC- Josh Conklin.
Why is Shafer mentioned as a candidate?

Probably because during the season he was spotted at Pitt and was supposedly serving in some type of advisory capacity with his old friend.

 

[Crusty]

Pitt has a DC- Josh Conklin.
Why is Shafer mentioned as a candidate?

Because they werd horrendous.

 

[Moontan]

serving in some type of advisory capacity with his old friend.

Old friend? The kind that tries to kill you?

I agree that if the Pitt DC position were to be open that it would be a good spot for FHCSS.

 

[orangeinohio]

Because they werd horrendous.

Sure, their defense werd pretty terrible but Conklin's supposed to be a talented young coach and it's only his second year with the job.
Just seems less likely to me.

Narduzzi is supposed to be such a brilliant defensive-minded coach.
Maybe he needs to take some responsibility for their suckitude on defense.

What Jim Brown record was broken in the Pitt game?

 

[Alsacs]

What Jim Brown record was broken in the Pitt game?

Most TDs responsible in a single game.

 

[kcsu]

I hope fhcss ends up someplace great for him. He gave his heart to cuse and is a super person. Great DC whatever program he ends up at is fortunate to have him.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Old friend? The kind that tries to kill you?

I agree that if the Pitt DC position were to be open that it would be a good Sprott for FHCSS.

What...you've never had a friend like that before?

 

[TheCusian]

I highly doubt he runs the same defense as pat.

No - of course not. But it's similar enough.

 

[TheCusian]

Both Narduzzi and Shafer like attacking LB's with single coverage on the outside; stopping the run is priority #1. Narduzzi is a bit more hard headed about not coming out of man. This year he didn't have the CB talent.

But, this kind of offense eats that kind of defense up. See: UCONN/PITT games this year.

Can we hire the shaf here??

 

[CuseLegacy]

Can we hire the shaf here??

That isn't going to happen.

 

[CuseLegacy]

Fwiw I saw a tweet that said Shafer had also been in the discussion for the DC at Oregon.

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

Can we hire the shaf here??

I don't understand the loyalty to Shafer on here.
