FHCSS steps down at Maryland

[MaxwellCuse]

Like the rest of you, I am hoping for some good news about Coach Shafer and his family.

 

[Shenexon]

Life gets complicated and difficult. I'm glad for the time Coach Shafer was here and hope it works out ok, whatever the issue.

 

[orangeinjersey]

hope its not a medical issue. Best wishes to his family.

Thinking of you coach - hope everything works out!

Well, it would definitely seem weird resigning from a job if you had health issues ... I mean I would think one would want to keep their insurance.

Hopefully he just misses being a HC and is thinking about stepping down into entry levels to get there.

Not sure when this happened but his house is listed as 'off market' now.

Heard they took it off about a week ago.

That's not the reason. He's going to be fine. Just some things going on that require his undivided attention.

Sure hope so. He seems like a quality guy.

Love FHCSS. Who wouldn't?

Best wishes to Coach Shafer and his family.

I have great respect for Coach Shafer and his family. I wish them only the best and hope whatever the problem is can be resolved quickly.

If it's not health is it something that would have prevented him from coaching at Syracuse this year if he wasn't fired? Or is it something that was percolating last year?

For what it's worth, at the Spring game I spoke to the spouse of an SU athletics staffer who is still in touch with Missy Shafer. Missy confirmed that it is not a health issue that caused former HCSS to bail on Maryland.

If Shafer hadn't gotten fired and if he still had to resign for personal reasons in April, would Tim Lester have been our head coach?

[Scooch]

One can only hope.

We just needed a half-dozen or so more years for that scheme to really click.

Maybe.

And I would have had no problem with that.

His handling of the QB situation last year was impressive in my opinion.

The scheme was in place for one season.

And it afforded more explosive plays than we have seen in years. And he was forced to play a true frosh and a walk-on at QB.

Babers has indicated that it takes at least 1.5 years for his system to begin to jell.

So, I don't think you can criticize Lester that way.

Dino's offense will put up more yardage than Lester's in it's first season, and he'll probably put up more yards in the first game than Lester's offense ever produced.

Also, the reason a true frosh and walk-on had to play QB is because his system got the players ahead of those guys hurt.

it's fun to imagine the meltdown. i'm sure I would've been very measured and totally above the fray.

hope everything works out for shafer
