Syracuse needs coaches who can maximize the most out of the talent they have on the roster. When you overachieve and win games then recruiting can improve. McDonald appeared to have decent recruiting chops but he was not bringing in elite talent instead he was bringing in good players that with good coaching could become NFL players. McDonald's playcalling and performance was not good and changes had to be made or the HC would have completely lost a good portion of the hardcore fanbase. I don't think McDonald's recruiting was good enough to overcome his performances on Saturdays.

I hate how some people on this board want an echo chamber of only pro-SU spin. We as fans have to be fair and give praise it is warranted or circle the wagons when one of our own is targeted. However, when things happen like Friday nights press conference with Shafer was so bad it can't be defended without looking like Kool aid nobody with SU can ever be wrong mindset. That performance by Shafer really showed how he handles adversity. I give him credit for canning McDonald but it was out of necessity after that PC.
