    Shy Cullen new Head Football Coach at Lowell HS

    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...

    3-3-5 vs the run

    When you say missed gaps you have to understand that the gap assignments are assigned before the offense moves. It’s done by the way the other team lined up and your guessing what hole they will go to. If the offense reads that and changes the play you don’t have an experienced linebacker out...

    Sean Edinger

    Thank you. Shy is doing well. Not where he hoped to be but he spent the last year working with kids at the boys club. He went and spoke to the ad at Lowell high in august about volunteering to help the football team. The ad helped him get a job as a teachers assistant and introduced him to the...

    Sean Edinger

    Sean is a good guy. He knows how to make these kids strong. I think the big lack in the program lies in the rehab. Shy still talks to a bunch of kids in the team and from his time there I think a better nutrition program and more work on after the strength training to keep pliability is what is...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    Yes if he goes unselected in the draft today he becomes a free agent. While getting drafted would have its excitement we are realistic. Going as a 6th or 7th round selection is monetarily very close to free agency and being a free agent at that point has advantages like being able to choose your...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    Been a crazy couple weeks. It’s kinda blind the way we are doing things. They don’t give you a lot of info from the league... but they did let all the teams know he was in the draft and passed along his info as well as his proday coming this Monday. We were working with an agent that was kinda...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    Thank you for the kind words. Yes you are correct in what you said. I think random guy was more pointing out the overall demands of an athlete though. I think he was saying a school asking for an internship on top of all the regular class and football stuff is a bit much. He isn’t wrong but...

    I think that was the one he was going to do next fall.

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    It was 120 hrs for his class. Not an impossible amount but one that should probably have been handled out of season. It probably wouldn’t have been a problem had he started with the internship the beginning of September but losing 2 months hurt him. He finished around 85 hrs. I can go into the...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    He could have if he hadn’t only had one class towards his degree and failed it. But he struggled in psychology in a previous semester so they wanted him to wait till after football. He only had that and 2 internships to graduate so they were using the classes across 3 semesters. Failing it...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    The whole story of you actually want it is he was late getting signed up for his internship. He signed up with one place but couldn’t make the hours work. He switched to a different place in late October. He did not get enough hours. He had planned to do most them in December but with practice...

    Shy Cullen to the Supplemental Draft

    Thanks everyone. It’s been a hard few weeks. First I will say yes it falls on shy for failing. We don’t place blame anywhere. We knew coming in shy had a tough time with school and it would be a struggle. He is really upset he didn’t get to return and play with his team this fall. We are...
  15. Bambrewer

    My Take

    No he only gets the 5th season. He only has 1 internship to finish his degree so he will have to take some extra classes to meet eligibility. Then graduate in December and return in May to walk with the class... giving him time to workout and prep for proday or (dare to dream combine) just have...

    My Take

    Shy was grateful for all the fan support. Walking into the dome in the dome after the game in the mall... everywhere we went people came up and asked him if he would be back and told him they are rooting for him. It was very over whelming at times. It was killing him to not be out there. He was...

    Revamped Syracuse football defense faces biggest question again at linebacker (LB Preview)

    He is quad dominant. I was going to do those exercise with him until we found this place. The only other thing I planned was one leg squats. From what I can understand they will slowly go up in weight on the stronger leg while going up faster on the weaker leg. Till they match.

    Revamped Syracuse football defense faces biggest question again at linebacker (LB Preview)

    He is using these air pneumatic lifting machines. They provide you with initial power used and a percentage of each rep there after. So you can see fatigue . It also allows you to measure each leg and arm as individuals. This lets you identify your dominant limb. Your dominant limb reduces out...

    Revamped Syracuse football defense faces biggest question again at linebacker (LB Preview)

    He is still on track and more motivated than ever... he doesn’t dig what I do for work in the tiniest bit. He is working out with 2 different trainers... one is a former USA hockey trainer and works with a lot of nfl guys. He also started working out with a guy we stumbled across by accident...

    5 things to know before Syracuse football opens spring practice

    Part of me wanted him to have to do this job for that reason. I wanted him to see how things are at a job that really could be on dirty jobs with Mike Rowe. I wanted him to come away feeling like he never wants to do that type of work again and he wants to get his degree finished up and to...

    5 things to know before Syracuse football opens spring practice

    Actually I’ll take it one step further... longest off season ever for Shy. He has some bills he has to get paid because of all this and needed to get a job. He doesn’t have a car so his choices were fairly limited to were he could work. He has been doing his school work and working out but...

    5 guys, 3 spots?

    I appreciate that but I’m sure if Shy returns to Syracuse it will be 80% for football. He can transfer to unmass for free and complete his degree if football wasn’t the future. Right now all focus is on getting back there and playing next season

    5 guys, 3 spots?

    Shy will be eligible to return to Syracuse this summer. He is doing great in his classes and is working out and eating the way I want him to. I will be having him working out with a combine training instructor in the coming weeks to improve his speed. He has free tuition to any mass state school...

    Shy Ineligible

    Just so you all understand while Shy struggles with his learning disability we don’t fault the school for this. He had resources in place and used them. He needs to focus more and football season makes that tough. The bowl season made it even tougher during finals. He will take care of this and...

    Thanks everyone for the kind words again. Thank you guys for the links also. I have read into the suspension requirements ( over and over and over) and the nfl draft and supplemental draft stuff ( though I still can’t for the life of me figure out how to apply for the early entry or...

    Shy Ineligible

    First let me start by saying thank you for the support. The response here and online has been overwhelming. I have relayed to Shy your thoughts and prayers for him. He is very upset at the moment. His journey at Syracuse has been quite a roller coaster from his recruitment and coaching changes...

    Dungey not in any of the upperclassmen games?

    Dungey is training at Tracy ford. I’m not sure if the cost for that training but it has to be way up there. They house them in the apartments the Seahawks use. Train 6 to 8 hours a day. Handle their nutrition. Everything. This is the training I would love to get shy into. They did an awesome job...

    Dungey not in any of the upperclassmen games?

    I have to believe that now that Eric has signed with a high profile agent a few people are interested in him at the next level. The agents will pay for Eric to go train for the combine they will pay for people to train him for interviews... that’s not cheap. A bigger name agent won’t lay out...

    Richt resigns from Miami / hires Manny Diaz

    When I went there with shy I was under the same impression but they had started doing things there. There locker room was amazing and the out door field was under construction but looked very nice. They put down the sod the day we were there. The hard rock is an awesome stadium but is way off...

    I can not for the life of me figure out why everyone is saying dated facilities. What is dated ? They have a brand new indoor facility. The locker room the rock built is amazing. There trophy room is very nice. Their meeting room wasn’t as nice as ours but was pretty good. They play in one of...

    Richards

    Shy and Richards are good friends. Shy was telling me a story about when tyrell came in. Shy was always one of the fastest on defense and the fastest in the line backer group. Said tyrell came in and was beating him in the runs. He said he was getting mad and was like “alright kid take it easy...

    Richt resigns from Miami / hires Manny Diaz

    I know they were having a good season last year so it probably helped and we were playing well at the time so that may have contributed but that hard rock stadium was pretty full when we played there last year. The problem I heard from coaches there when we visited was getting students to travel...
