This isn't a ringing endorsement. But an encouragement to look around us, at the very least...
After two years at Syracuse, head coach Scott Shafer is 10-15 with a bowl win and a slight uptick in recruiting results to his name. Shafer was a continuity hire, brought in to curtail attrition after Doug Marrone left and keep an encouraging 2013 recruiting class intact. While some players have left, there hasn't been a mass exodus of talent or an in-house mutiny. Despite all of this, there are those calling for his job.
At Maryland, (SU alum and former UConn coach) Randy Edsall inherited a 9-4 team and promptly went 6-18 in his first two seasons.
