Syracuse never has had and never will have the resources to compete with the factories.  If and when Shafer gets an offer he can't refuse we will not be able to compete- unless the deep pockets decide to finally come out of the woodwork and chip in.  I'd like to think his contract has some incentives built in that he has hopefully already reached.  In the meantime, would a few hundred grand raise now after a 7-6 season deter him from going when that day comes?  You might be right- Jimmy B has stayed here for other reasons at a below market rate but he is a very unusual guy and this truly was his dream job.  I don't know Shafer personally-I like him and I hope he is successful and he stays a long time.   I believe he was fairly compensated for a first year head coach.   In the meantime I would be in favor of continuing to make the capital improvements that help create the atmosphere that attracts the players as well as the coaches.
