#1 - JB has been coach for 40 years.  I can think of one time he swore in a press conference - when Gerry was called Overrated.  That's the only time I can remember.  Is JB any less passionate than Shaffer as coach?

#2 - People have posted on the board in the last 24 hours about being embarrassed at the foul mouthed fans around them at the game, swearing without regard to kids sitting nearby.  This is family entertainment, after all.

#3 - I get that he was fired up.  I get that he was trying to pump up the kids, to make this more than a moral victory.

But in comparison to Fournette, which was my original point, Shaffer came off as less classy than the kid who called us the original Running Back U, paid tribute to the great 44s, etc.  I pointed out the contrast.  If you don't like it, fine.  I find Shaffer's lack of control in media situations to be a little embarrassing.  It's not like this is the first time he has shot his mouth off inappropriately at press conferences.  He needs better control of himself.
