...I do not want to have to fire Shafer after this year.

This team and program are far from broken. Upgrade in facilities, conference stability, promising young talent and literally a couple (frustrating) calls from being 5-2.

2016 season has a lot of promise, and likely, tailwinds of the new Carrier Dome and athletics fields renovation and potentially, the announcement of a $2 billion (guessing) capital raise. The school is going to be more attractive this time next year.

A repeat 3-9 has become a distinct possibility. That could make it hard to bring him back, but not necessarily a no-brainer that he's out. Closing out with Ws vs NC State and BC, with a massively young team, and a plan to Coyle as to why we are on the doorstep of consistent bowling (plus change out of coaches at the OL, DB...and maybe even Daust gets a meaningful promotion in some way) could make it an easy decision to come back.

Lots of ifs. We were almost all giddy post LSU. Now, many of us are burning Internet couches and thinking the Memphis coach will come here (ha!)

Go Orange.
