Put some pads on him and suit him up.

He lost me when he attacked a student reporter at the Daily Orange. You're a college football coach. Your team exists to teach young people and you're attacking a student for asking a question? No way. Hope we embarrass him this weekend the same way he embarrassed this school as a coach.

Good summary. I've rewatched the game twice and noticed similar things. Our D-line did play well. Josh Black had a nice game and Robinson had great speed out of his stance. I think we'll see improvement there if we can stay healthy. RB is a concern. I don't think it's all on the OL. After...

I hope Culpepper never sees another snap at QB.

Done.

The reason we don't hear about him is because there's not much worth hearing. He's 4th or 5th on the depth chart because of his play. Barring a dramatic turnaround, I'd be surprised if he ever takes meaningful snaps for the team.

Would we he join in the fall or be part of the 2018 class? Would be great to have him this year.

Well played. Happy to hear positive news!

Let's not globalize. I'm talking about stuff like this... College Football Injury Report: Week 14 And given that it's the off-season and we have no games to talk about, asking whether or not we should expect more info about our best player's injury (or if we'll just find out he's been...

Yea. You're right. Injuries in sports are not at all newsworthy. :bat:

Or will we just be notified that he's been disqualified and leaving the school/program?

This is good news. Competiton on the OL and a much needed infusion of size in the secondary.

Wondering who we can look for are to seeing next year other than Custis and Culpepper. Hopefully some guys getting stronger for the trenches.

True. I've been told that stats are for losers.

Yes. It's that bad.

Tell that to Bill Snyder.

Shafer was medically incapable of coaching this season. We were very lucky as a program and he was lucky as a person to be fired. EDIT: Every night I thank my lord and savior for Mark Coyle and his wisdom.

There's a reason he's in the booth and not on a sideline.

Valid point. But seem to be on the rise for the next decade at least. And while the Big 12 hems and haws, Swofford should swoop in like a decisive ninja. They would immediately accept.

Add Houston. Right now. Today. And kill the Big 12. No expansion means that league dies. So take the best candidate. Get into Texas and make football a powerhouse. It's Dino Babers style. Go for the jugular.

Shafer left because of a medical issue. At least that's what he told people at MD. Confirmed to me today by a member of MD's strength staff. Hope he's doing better. EDIT: The same staff member raved about him as being a great guy who really knew his stuff--defensively, at least.

Nope.

Hahaha. So you like an irrelevant football team? You should root for UConn. Or Rutgers. Oh wait. Rutgers is more relevant than Syracuse thanks to Shafer's incompetence. And their coach is Kyle Flood. #IstandwithShafer in the unemployment line

How many coaches have they had in the last decade? Apparently continuity and holding onto coaches is how you get ahead. So wait, how long has it been since ESPN Gameday has been here for football?

I'd ask him what 2+2 equals. Then I'd ask him how to spell 'cat'. Pretty sure he couldn't answer either correctly. But hey, the guy throws a mean pool party and he says 'hard-nosed' a lot so let's give him an extension! #IstandwithShafer in the unemployment line

By strength you mean they have coaches who are qualified for the jobs they have as opposed to our coaches who aren't?

I haven't missed a game in more than 20 years. I didn't watch today. Nuff said.

Winning...hmmm...

So the guy who jumped all over me for calling Shafer names has now resorted to name calling? Oh man, this is too much fun.

So you're okay with 4 of the losses? What's the excuse for the other 5?

If you don't like my posts, you don't have to read them. I promise I won't make you. I do find it VERY interesting that I'm getting such a heated response from people who disagree with me. Like somehow they know I'm right. But are scared to admit it. Methinks thou dost protest too much.

Dissenting opinion? You think those that want Shafer gone are in the minority? Boy, I hope our fan base is smarter than that.

Can't. Type. Laughing. Too. Hard.

I came here because I read something about Shafer's demise and got excited. Sadly, he is still our coach. False advertising.

Unfortunately I watched them all. You're assuming that if we got a new HC that our D coordinators want to coach for him. I doubt they would. They're all Shafer's guys. Hence, clean slate. But sadly, it looks like you're getting your wish and we're stuck with this clown show status quo for...

Good luck with what? Having a terrible offense? Seems like we've already got that covered.

I would love that.

It's hard to read because my eyes are still bleeding from watching this Shafer-coached team all season.

I'd say it's all crystal clear. Now where is the column for "Head Coach Character" on here again?

Haha. If questioning a coach with a .400 win percentage makes me a clown too, I'll happily apply that make-up. You've been seriously brainwashed, bro. I happen to not enjoy mediocrity.

I would love for him to prove me wrong. Nothing would make me happier. If you've followed my posts from the last several years here, you'd know I'm not ignorant. I just stopped drinking the Shafer Kool-Aid. You should try it too.

Thank you! Finally someone talking sense on this board. Too many Shafer apologists who'd rather praise his character than question his competency.

That's your right. Just like it's mine to question it. He's a public figure. Comes with the territory.

Beamer didn't inherit a team coming off multiple bowl wins.

Haha. Outside of his record?? So good guy, but terrible football coach? Lord help us. 3-9 tells me what I need to know. We need to move on. Shafer is a loser.

I found a picture of Shafer that confirms my suspicions about him. I changed my avatar accordingly. Thankfully we now have proof that the man is indeed a complete and total clown.

I wish he'd fire everyone. But barring that, there's no one on the offensive side of the ball worth keeping.

FWIW--I'm sorry. I was being flip and only meant to praise the school. Didn't need to take a shot at you. I've always been a fan of your posts. Shafer on the other hand is a public figure and will continue to be the focus of my personal attacks until he is gone. Flame on!

Hallelujah.

Why is clown off limits? I don't understand why that word is such a hot button for some. To me, he has made our program a joke (again) as a head coach. So he's a clown. I'm sorry if that word offends you. You don't agree with me. I'm okay with that. I'm assuming we both want the same...
