Say what you will about Coyle and the way he left Syracuse. He at least was decisive on the move with Scott Shafer. Shafer had given 8 years to Syracuse with 3 as head coach. So he announced his firing and sent out a paragraph that a change in leadership was necessary at this time.  He allowed him the chance to coach one more game. After the game Shafer was able to address the media. Maybe there is more about how Coyle handled the firings of the assistants that I don't know about.  On the surface it seemed like a humane way to do it.  Shafer had won a bowl game and only had one winning season. Starsia has won multiple national titles and dedicated twenty three years of his life to the school. He dealt with a major problem when one of his players murdered another student athlete. The school stuck behind him at that point. If you want to make a move make it. Don't send out an email and then retract your decision because people are upset about it. It looks like amateur hour in Charlottesville.
