Shafer takes a rough perception into the 2015 season.
There are two kinds of college coaches: Program Builders and Continuity Guys. Scott Shafer is the latter. He was elected from defensive coordinator to head coach after Doug Marrone left with the goal of maintaining the modicum of success that SU had achieved and growing the program further.
So far, that hasn't happened in the win column. And the problem with being a Continuity Guy is that you have a much shorter leash than a Program Builder and it's why some people think Shafer could be out after Year 3 if the Orange don't improve on the field.
