Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 1976920, member: 27"] When Scott Shafer was hired as the SU HC and was putting together his staff, the two contenders for the OC job were George McDonald and Matt Canada. Shafer played a key role in Matt's career. He surely would have come if asked as he lost his job as OC at Wisconsin when the HC went to Arkansas. Small world department: One of the first things Bret Bielema did upon taking the Arkansas HC job was to hire George McDonald was his WR coach. Scott stole him from Bret almost immediately. Matt Canada, who lost his job when Bielema left the Badgers, got a job with Dave Doeren at NC State as their OC. Where he would start working with George the following year. It was bad enough Scott snubbed him the first time. Snubbing him twice might have cost him the SU HC job. Worst coaching decision of 2016? Doeren firing Canada after the 2015, which made him available for Narduzzi to hire... [/QUOTE]
