THIS IS PURELY WHAT I FEEL THE COACH SHOULD SAY IF RUMORS ARE TRUE

"Due to Terrell Hunt's injury which will keep him out for an extended period of time and our offensive performance over the past few games, I am giving Quarterback Coach Tim Lester more responsibilities in assisting Offensive Coordinator George McDonald prepare the offensive game plan and with play calling duty during certain game situations. Coach Tim Lester has extensive offensive coordinator experience and he knows the capabilities of our backup quarterback (not known who at this time) better than anyone else on the coaching staff. I am confident that he along with Coach McDonald will prepare a game plan that will put us in the best position against Florida State and our schedule going forward.

Based on my evaluation of our performance both in practice and on the game field in the next few weeks, there may be more changes ahead. Go Syracuse football and the Next Man Up!"

-This focuses on the injury and the fact that Lester works with the backups every day and knows their capabilities. McDonald works with the rest of the offense and doesn't really have time to know what our backups can/cannot do.

-It would also let McDonald save some face as he is not completely out, just has to share some responsibilities due to the injury situation.

-It also gives Coach Shafer an out to potentially shift back to 100% McDonald or to completely transition to Lester depending on how the team/coaches respond.

What do you think?
