Scott Shafer had his final press conference as Syracuse’s head coach after the Orange beat Boston College, 20-17. Shafer went 14-23 in three seasons. He was fired on Monday but coached his final game on Saturday.

Here is the full transcription of Shafer’s press conference before he left the podium without taking questions from the media.

“Great victory for our seniors, really excited for them. I wish it was celebrating eight or nine wins and going to a bowl game and all those types of things, but it’s four wins and it’s better than three. More importantly I just want to thank Syracuse University for giving me a shot to be their coach. I want to thank the community, and the communities both on campus and in Syracuse, especially in Fayetteville, and all the people that have been there for Missy (Shafer’s wife) and I and helping us raise our two kids for the past seven years.”

Shafer then paused for about 12 seconds while he teared up and wiped his eyes.

“I want to thank my coaches and 11 wives, 27 children on this staff for busting their ass for me, my family. God bless the brothers and sisters at Fort Drum and especially the 10th Mountain Division. Hoorah for those men and women who protect our country. And just God bless this community and go Orange. That’s it.”
