While I have no doubt that Scott Shafer is a good man and know he has done a lot for the Syracuse football program in his seven years on campus, he has proven that he was miscast as head coach.
Syracuse’s new athletic director Mark Coyle has a lot on his plate as he settles into the 315. He’s sure to evaluate each of the programs, coaches, facilities and his department’s staff.
The early guess here is that unless the football team becomes completely unglued, Coyle will find a way to distribute the financial resources necessary for Shafer to build his recruiting base.
