Agreed, though I'm not ready to throw in the towel on Shafer.  Some of the decisions or lack there of during the game have been troubling.  I remember the same concerns with Marrone.  Both of them have been better than GROB, but neither of them performed like elite college football head coaches.  However, that is understandable considering neither of them had previous head coaching experience at any level.

If Shafer doesn't pan out long term over the next 2-3 years, then for the next coaching hire I desperately hope that we find someone with head coaching experience (at the FBS level preferably, but experienced and successful FCS coaches would be fine too).  Skip the coordinator hires and pull a successful HEAD coach from a MAC or AAC school.  Given the upgraded facilities, the respectable team, the SU football tradition, the ACC dollars, etc it doesn't seem like it would be THAT hard to convince a coach at Bowling Green, Ohio, or Toledo to take over at Syracuse.  I hear Greg Schiano and Charlie Weis are available (ha, I kid, I kid...)...
