My post was not a shot at Shafer at all. I liked him as a person and as a DC. I wanted to see him succeed as our HC and I still wish him the best and all the success he wants in life.

I think his taking the year (or however long he chooses to take) is actually a fruit of his success that people such as myself can't afford, so relax on how tough he's had it as a Div.1 football coach. I'm sitting in my office on a Saturday morning preparing for a week long business trip away from my family as I type this and I have another similarly eventful week after that. It happens to the rest of us more than you might think.

My post was only to point out the silly quote from Coach Joe Adam. Does Joe Adam really think football coaches are the only ones with this hardship? As I mentioned here, I don't think that's the case and I don't think many will cry for Shafer or Joe. If I thought it was anything more than a dumb or poorly thought out statement, I might be offended.

Shafer has my respect and even some jealousy for what he's doing. He doesn't need Joe Adam beating the drum about the hardships of a professional coaching career and coming off so completely disconnected as he did.
