If you’ve never heard of Wittenberg U. you probably ought to update your resume and start circulating it, ’cause you sure don’t know much about football.

Does anyone on this site realize that Syracuse has a top 5 basketball team? All I see on this site is football talk. Maybe we’ve grown complacent with the hoops team being ranked year after year but I think a little more stories on a national championship contender and less stories about a random football coach without a role will do this site some good.

Butcher,

Any relation to one Dexter Morgan from Bay Harbor?

Anyways, I think Couzens is trying to paint a picture of Shafer as an in-demand guy down the pike. Anybody who turns a 110th ranked defense into a top-20 unit in two seasons is gonna get interest at some point.

Rodriguez and Harbaugh were more anecdotal then substantive, to illustrate that he has
solidified a spot in the “coaches networking club.”

As we saw with Groobers, it’s not always what you know, but who you know. And with Shafer seemingly possessing both skills (what and who) Marrone needs to think about the future.

HCDM was groomed to be an offensive coordinator, and eventually a head coach… No reason Daoust can’t be apprenticed to do the same thing on defense.

Not a good article, DA. There is no threat of Shafer leaving SU to work for Rodriguez, considering RRod used him as the fall guy for his terrible first season at UM. But more than that, Daoust has zero experience as D-C. If Shafer ever gets replaced, someone with D-C experience will get the position. To me this is DM giving Shafer free reign to hire his own defensive assistants, in order to retain Shafer. It expect Casullo’s old title (Assoc HC, or whatever it was) to be given to Shafer along with a pay increase.

Vic Fangio is Jim Harbaugh’s defensive guru at Stanford and both were formerly with Indianapolis Colts. Tim Daoust will coach DB’s and Anselmo will stay with Special teams and be asst head coach.

NET Anselmo slides over and replaces Casullo .
