lets overpay for a guy with a 9-6 record?  Contrary to what people may believe, Shafer is still not a proven commodity, he has some work to do.  Lets wait for year #2 to play out before we ink a new deal as you alluded too.  If we lose this weekend, people will be clamoring that he is in over his head!   Would you pay a guy 2 million if he was willing to work for 1.4 mil?. Union seniority?  Sounds like open market, buyer and seller to me and as of right now fair market value with a  willing buyer and willing seller, which is how I believe it is defined. Nobody has a gun to their head

I love Shafer as much as the next guy but he is still far from a proven commodity and this recruiting prowess that you speak of ?? We will wait and see there too. That said, I am not one flying off the handle in both directions when the guy shites or winds his watch.  Pay the guy when he proves he is worth 2.2 mil at Syracuse, in addition Shafer will probably take 1.75 and leave the rest for assistants because that is who he is.  I wouldn't pay in fear
