Yeah, I think that defense was a good match for our program and the Dome, and it showed itself to be pretty effective and disruptive without having surefire NFL guys all over the place.
I don't have any juicy info really. I just remember there were accounts of some heated conversations, even involving Missy, and the whole cigar thing and stuff.
I don’t know what a quiter is, but if you meant to insult him and call him a quitter then I don’t agree with that either. Was he a good HC? No. Was he a quitter? Nope. Even when we got our a$$ kicked in his time here I never got the feeling he lost the locker room, he just was in way over his head, and couldn’t get the talent but did find hidden gems for dino like a dungey and franklin. Wish him luck. (Would love to take him back on DC).
Correct. As I remember, Missy claimed she took some verbal abuse from SU fans sitting in her area.
See I am not down with that at all. Wife and kids are off limits in my book unless you see the wife on social media and stuff getting into it. Even then you should probably not engage. Kids 100 percent off limits. If fans were indeed going after the wife and kids, that's not cool...at all.
He was a vey good DC
I personally saw George Deleone and his wife get abused by fans during a basketball game. I happened to sit right behind him. It was brutal, disturbing and cruel. I felt so badly for them.
Yeah that’s BS - I sat probably 20 feet from her and she was obnoxious the entire game. No one said sheet to her.
He was given only three years. He had terrible luck at QB - the number of injuries he had to endure at that position was hard to believe. He was fired by a new AD - who had no connection to Syracuse University. I understand how he felt.
Not entirely accurate. GROB cratered our program. Shafer was part of the crew that brought it back and was a hell of a DC. Made some bad decisions / had some bad luck with injuries that lead to a bitter break up. He came back, kicked our ass and people didn't like it but the losers rarely like the results in life.
Yeah Cherie that is really disturbing and those fans have/had no class at all. While it happens everywhere, there is no place for that. Likely alcohol was a contributing factor in their stupidity.
Respectfully disagree. Marrone brought the program back. Shafer quickly wasted Marrone’s rebuilding. And at the end of his tenure - the team was an embarrassment.
