I think the criticism of and impatience with HCSS is entirely understandable. Those who want a change certainly have valid arguments (some do not) and it is far from certain which side is correct. As you say, some will see thefootball half inflated and others half deflated.

[*]Most agree that recruiting has improved, but some feel it is due to the ACC and IPF. To me it doesn't matter - the talent is better.
[*]Most agree that the Lester offense is better, but there is a legitimate debate as to how much. For me I would have preferred an offense that took better advantage of the uniqueness of the dome, but I think Lester's offense is unique enough to give opposing DC's fits in coming years.
[*]Most agree that Shafer needs better and more aggressive game management skills. Time will tell if he can grow into this part of the job.
[*]Many feel that staff changes are in order. We will find out Shafer's view after the season ends.
[*]Most agree that Shafer deserves the 2016 season to see what he can do with kids who have had at least one year of CFB experience, others want to cut and run now. I am in the former camp.

Regardless of where you stand, it should be clear that the university is committed to big time college athletics! Joining the ACC, building the IPC and coughing up hundreds of millions for dome renovations is undeniable evidence that Syracuse under The Good Chancellor has a bright future. To me, that is the story. If Shafer wins, he stays. If not, we will hire someone else from a much broader pool than in previous years.

The future is bright my friends!
