Again,  3 years later. I realize Shafers demise was the Virginia and pitt games, 3-5 in game management calls, and getting our future star qb injured inside 5:00 of a blowout on the road.  That said,  all along this staff was learning on the job, under the bright lights,  at the cost of wins and wins only. These kids would run through a wall for these guys. Lesters offense with ED healthy started to roll and the defense was 1-2 years away but we did have young talent undergoing baptism by fire. So now we hit the reset button, lose key recruits,  bring in a new staff and wait 2-3 years for a result. Shaf was one contract year away. An original 5 year deal gives him next year to show something and i really feel like we would have popped next year.  Scott Shafer would have been a lifer, a cuse guy. I drove from albany to the spring game every year the last 3 to wait in line after just to chat and shake the mans hand.  He exudes quality and intensity and is such a quality individual.  So now we hit the reset button again to hire an up and coming offensive guru who will use cuse as a stepping stone for a better p5 job down the road.  Gonna miss shaf and most of his staff. Would love to retain Acosta and daoust somehow.  Its a sad day.
