I found a game that Shafer was the DC for Syracuse. He was the DC from 09 -12 and then became the head coach in 2013. In 2012, he was the DC when they upset no. 9 Louisville and kept Teddy Bridgewater in check. UL was undefeated until Syracuse knocked them off. Cuse manhandled them.

Here's the video to this game. Also, our LB coach played in this game as well. I loved the adjustments they ran and the tackling they executed.

And here's another game showing off Shafer's magic. They take down #20 WVU and Geno Smith in 2010.

 
With Shafer in place, the real questions are going to be what kind of talent do we really have on D, and how fast our D can pick up his scheme (i.e., communication w/o blown coverage).
 
Anything is better than what we had. That defense was broken. I project we jump 30 spots in every category they count with the new guy.
