Shafer Press Conference

[anomander]

Really? The real world has problems, ISIS is chopping heads off? Basically saying it's just a game relax everyone. or that's how I took it. Definitely not what I wanted to hear right now. Just more of the same stuff. Come up with something new, but that's not what the fanbase wants to hear.

He sounds resigned to his fate, to be honest.

Sounds like it.

Not a good sign.

Sounds like it's just some big fun game. If that's the case he can donate his salary to supplement the fans.

 

[supp]

It's a smart way to shut down a press conference before things get ugly but I'm not sure that he went out there with this intention.

 

[NKR1978]

Fire him now. He's done. Pay someone at least 2.5m and get a proven coach,

I don't have an important job but if I screw up people can lose their houses and go hungry. He coaches a football team. He makes a crapload of money. Suck it up.

Football is no longer a game run by meatheads...it's time to get smart about this...

 

[jekelish]

Sigh...

I didn't watch/listen but I don't need to. What do you expect him to say or what do you want to hear from him? Without listening I could guess he's dejected and pissed that they played like horseshyt. He has to stay positive, keep the kids positive and keep fighting.

 

[phil77]

fire him...and clean the staff out...all of them

We expect him to he pissed off and stand and have answers for why our team is awful. Only at Syracuse do we root for seniority and give people second and third chances. Either this is big time football or it isnt. and it doesnt seem like it is.

lord we are so far away from that. just feels like there is no hope in sight.

I want him not to differentiate football from ISIS.

Say we were awful. Accept blame. Hell apologize. Not we played hard, great kids, and going to keep working hard , it's just a game BS.

Can you imagine where we'd be if Oregon hadn't promoted Kelly, and we'd somehow been able to wrangle him away?

Where's Doc Brown with his DeLorean when you need him...

What does that mean?

The worst-ever coach-speak would have been better than that.

I can't even comprehend anymore. Hope is a foreign feeling.

 

[suinaustin]

You know...you can't "tip toe thru the tulips" media. Someone has to have the nads to hit Coach with the obvious question first. Like...what the hell is wrong with your OC and entire offense? And then to come out an act like "Oh Well!" His whole demeanor seem like that even on the sidelines.

Thnx and like I said I didn't listen. But you know he knows we were aweful. I can't criticize the guy for not airing it in the presser. It's irrelevant really.

Defense did play hard though. Offense sucks.

Then hold the offense accountable.

Say what? No he didn't really?

 

[bevosu]

Shafer is giving every indication that he may be over his head. Coaches lose their confidence. I think he's going through a self doubt phase. It may not end well.

 

[jekelish]

"Man I could come out here and tell you that heads are gonna roll, but what are we, ISIS? How about those guys, huh?"

Okay, that's not what he said, but it's closer than it ever should be.
