Young guy to take the reigns, but he was a fan favorite here and everyone will wish him all the best

 

[GreekFreak]

Great for Shy!

 

[Cusefan69]

That's pretty cool. Congrats to Shy

Now that is what we call a wicked good hire.

Congrats Shy.

You want a young man with great character teaching kids how to behave like men? You couldn’t make a better choice here.

 

[Dinkyspond]

This is completely awesome.

 

[orangefog]

His commitment story was the best. Thanks to his dad for sharing.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

Nice!

 

[djorange1989]

Oh hell yes!

 

[HtownOrange]

One guy to watch long term. Hope he proves up and then steps up to coach our Orange. If I recall, his work ethics were top notch, he overcame his issues, and he was a good person all around.

Great for him and it's what the program needs to see more of happen.

If guys aren't making the league we need guys who had good experiences here entering the coaching and youth program ranks in our recruiting areas.

That's the one thing you see a lot of from competitor programs. They have former players dotted all over the place at the high school and 7v7 levels.

We have a handful that come to mind.

A blast from the past! Congratulations Shy and much success to you!

A guy whose gone through the process (and made mistakes) coaching high school kids is a freaking HUGE win for that school. Home run hire.

Did Shy ever finish his degree? I really hope so. I remember Bam said things came down to an internship.

There was a quote attributed to Bam that said after Pro Day, if things didn't work out, Shy wanted to go back and finish his degree. I don't know if that happened.

Don't you have to have a degree to teach/coach?

Yeah, that answers our Q about whether he got his degree or not.

Congrats Shy!!

I don’t know if that is true for Massachusetts.

To answer the question he has been taking classes to finish his degree. He hasn’t finished yet. He may transfer his credits now to umass for his degree just to speed it up. He would have to return to Syracuse to live there and attend school according to his Syracuse counselor so right now that is on hold. He is working at the high school as a teachers assistant with troubled teens and special needs kids. He coached linebackers and running backs the last two years. This is a great opportunity for him. Excited and nervous for him lol. Hopefully this will be a big first step to his coaching career! Thanks everyone for the support!

BAM, think I speak for everyone when I say don't be a stranger here and keep us in the loop about Shy's journey (and any other SU alum he might be in touch with).
