There are three ways that Scott Shafer is still the head coach of the Syracuse Orange football team in 2016.
1. He beats Clemson next week. In what would be, at the very least, the second-biggest upset in the history of Syracuse football, Shafer would have his signature win and make SU instantly relevant, if only for a week.
2. He beats both NC State and Boston College to close the season. It gets the Orange to 5-7, ends the year on a two-game winning streak and takes momentum into the offseason.
