Poll: Should Syracuse have fired Scott Shafer?
Margaret Lin | Staff Photographer
Syracuse football head coach Scott Shafer was fired on Monday. He will coach the final game of the season against Boston College on Saturday.
SU is 3-8 and riding an eight-game losing streak, its longest since 2005. Shafer took over as head coach in 2013 and went 13-23 in 36 games as Syracuse’s head coach.
Shafer was the Orange’s defensive coordinator from 2009-12. After former head coach Doug Marrone left to take the Buffalo Bills’ head coaching job, he was promoted to head coach.
