Message: [QUOTE="supp, post: 863259, member: 702"] He's getting paid what he deserves given his resume and the situation. Nearly all the ACC coaches above him had HC experience coming in, had success as HCs coming in. There are always some outliers but the majority of his peers get more because they've earned more. SU took a chance on Shafer and paid what he's worth as a career assistant who's getting his first chance to lead his own program. 7-6 is a good start but it's not by any stretch of the imagination a miraculous, "we've got to worry about Shafer taking off" kind of season. If he exceeds expectations next year, then you think about it paying him more. You also think about raising the buyout on his contract in tandem with the pay raise. But if the deeper pocketed programs come calling and several millions more means something to Shafer, then a preemptive pay rise this year or next is not making a difference. [/QUOTE]
