[QUOTE="CNY in Miami, post: 1214676, member: 155"]
Want to star out saying that my wife and I are both SU alums. We moved to Miami 35 years ago but have never lost our alliance and joy (not so much this year) for SU football. We were both there from 1962 to 1967, she made it in four years me a bit longer. We had some pretty good years and a lot of great players during that period. I also grew up in CNY and remember the 1959 season.

SU' s all time winning percentage is .580, which simply means in a 12 game season we have a good chance of winning about 7 games a year. Last year Shafer hit the 7 mark, his first year, had to build a staff  in a hurry, get out and recruit, and experience some on the job training. I believe he did a great job last year and brought in some excellent recruits, many like Ishmael, Philips anf Franklin are future stars.

He did not become a lousy coach in one year, this squad was decimated with injuries and had a very difficult schedule. Yes, he made mistakes, we all do, but I believe he will get the support from SU and have a long successful coaching tenure at the Cuse.

Bashing him, as many are doing on this board, and calling for him to be fired after one pretty good year and one bad one is, ridiculous .
