Do we really need to advertise on EVERY cab in NYC?
Maybe 1 out of 20 cabs would be sufficient.
One of the great benefits that we have is that this staff is extremely tight due to their past stops. The more I hear/see SS and staff, the more I am impressed by their values as people. This is not about SS coach and family, GM coach and family, Adams coach and family... I perceive this as one huge family over at Manley. It is evident in the coaches wives involved in the program. This is a band of brothers/sisters our own "Duck Dynasty".
I grew up and taught in the inner city very much like what many of our players have experienced. I have also taught in Fl where many of our kids are being recruited from. At the elementary level in the beginning of the year I struggled with many of my students and parents in getting them to have faith in me to teach/parent their child. Through constant work, creating expectations/ideals, and building a family WE (as a unit) achieved things that no one expected including ourselves; not just developing my students but parents and me . It is exciting and extremely appealing. There was a genuine care, love, respect, trust... This is huge for people in a very scary world right now.
What I used in my classroom/school and what SS and staff are doing on the hill are exactly the same and IT WORKS (just look at our board). In a society where the ideals of companionship, being neighborly/community, accountability is quickly dying, it becomes very attractive because it has extreme worth/value. This is why we are hearing recruits/players say and do what they do. This is why this staff is going to be here for awhile. Don't underestimate the ability that they are able to live someone public/private lives. Many of these other areas it would be impossible to participate in public life as our coaches and families do. It is why the Jets love Cortland (I know because I have had first hand behind the scenes interactions with coaches and players).
Add to all this the fact that many of our coaches are on record of being happy at the level of coaching they are at i.e. GM said he always wanted to be an OC and never a head coach/ no interest in being a head coach.
Furthermore and finally,
Let me conclude by saying that things can change and unforeseeable things can happen.
- major upgrades are here/coming
- recruiting is on an uptick and will continue
- we are in the p5
- salary increases are coming
- influx of money at levels not fathomed in the past
- strong vision for the future of the program
- support from Chancellor
- growing support from the community
- beginning to get back to being a player on the national scene
- DM built the 21st SU shipyards SS is building the ship, HIS SHIP. I think one of the biggest things in SS past was his experience at Stanford, do not be surprised if we are his version of Stanford.
Sorry so long, just my humble opinion.
Judge Judy wouldn't accept your evidence in court, but I think you're right -- both of his kids will be FM grads, and his son an Ithaca grad. The Shafers have a stake in CNY. Shafer also understands the importance and reverence of Mac, talking -- in his first presser, I believe -- about how he still has the picture of his brother and parents with Mac on a recruiting trip.
