Am I the only one emotional over here

[bothsocksup]

wish nothing but the best for Coach

 

[texascpa]

no, you are not.

 

[longislandcuse]

Been as vocal as anyone about needing a new coach but I can't lie, totally teared up watching him carried off the field.

 

[MikeSU02]

Damn. Lot of dust and pollen in the home right now.

This sucks. I know it's a business, but this is rough.

 

[Whitey23]

I'm very very sad that it didn't work out.

 

[orangenauburn]

Sad, emotional, and a scene of support from his kids

A lot of onion cutting here, even if I thought he needed to go

Just a testament to the man

 

[CuseLegacy]

My husband is going to come in and wonder why the heck I am crying.

 

[ForeverOrange]

Really has been tough to hold back emotion on this.

 

[samspann1]

It's sad that it had to end this way, as it was clear that Shafer is one of the good guys, and that the players liked playing for him.

Best of luck to the Shafer family in all of their futur endeavors.

 

[TheCusian]

Thank you coach.

 

[bothsocksup]

holy hell, that was rough

 

[Trueblue25]

seeing HCSS cry is like seeing chuck norris break his shin

 

[MSOrange]

I support Coyle's decision but I've always liked Shafer the person. That got to me big time. He deserved that.

 

[44cuse]

That was a GREAT moment.

If you want to be reminded that coaches care for their kids and there is a bond on a football team, that was it.

[JrodCuse]

Truly great man, just needed more bounces to go his way and needed to say it and just be more aggressive a half dozen times and he would probably still be our coach. Another program is going to be extremely luck to get him as a coach and mentor.

 

[jekelish]

All I can say is: thank god we won that game.

Good things need to happen to good people now and then. Glad it happened today.

 

[CanadianSU]

thanks HCSS!

love his passion.

 

[mountaincuse]

Very emotional.

Was fortunate to be able to read the letter he wrote to the players parents before the game.

Love that guy, wish like heck that it worked out.

 

[PAcuse]

Myself and pacusewife need a few moments. So happy we won.

 

[Consigliere]

Crying like a baby watching the end of the game on my tablet in the Charlotte airport coming home from Atlantis.

Coach Shafe was an exemplary representative of the Syracuse community and we are poorer to no longer have him as one of our own.

 

[Chip]

Happy Coach Shafer won that game and had a nice final moment? Very much. Good guy.

Happy we beat BC? Yes

Excited about our future with an offensive mind running the show? Yes

But not emotional. The only thing I'm sad about is that our season is over. They come and go so quickly, especially when we don't make a bowl game.

 

[Avatusstone28]

I completely agree. I am so glad that Coach Shafer will leave on a high note. I wish him well in his future endeavors. I am certain he will land on his feet.

 

[qdawgg]

Really really wish things had worked out.

 

[jkm54]

It was definitely a little dusty. I want nothing but long term program stability, and I really wanted Shafer to bring us that. Sadly, it didn't work out, but I cannot overstate how much I appreciate his passion and devotion to this program while he was here. Many thanks, Shafe and I will follow wherever you end up next with a little more attention.

So happy for him and us that he got that final win.

 

[Briancuse]

I have been for making a change, but I wish Coach nothing but the best, I think we have all been fired at one point, and its a horrible feeling. I am very happy to see him go off with a win, and hope that he gets a job very soon.
