Message: [QUOTE="javadoc, post: 569660, member: 338"] Think about it. After our 2003 jilting, the Big East was on life support. RRod saved our cash stream by making the BE tolerable, at a time when we might almost have abandoned football. That Sugar Bowl game against Georgia pretty much guaranteed that we would draw a paycheck for the next couple years. Then he goes to Michigan, and somehow persuades up-and-coming DC Scott Shafer to leave Stanford, and the tutelage of the great Jim Harbaugh (!!! seriously !!!), to go to Michigan. And promptly forces him to fail, putting him back on the market... where Doug Marrone scoops him up. Four years later, Warlord Scott Shafer is our head coach, and we are in the ACC. Rich Rodriguez, you win the "butterfly effect" award for Syracuse Football resurgence. P.S. he also hired Greg Robinson after one of the most epic fails in organized sports history, which has to count for something. [/QUOTE]
