Syracuse Coach On Leonard Fournette: "I Wanted To Kick His (Butt)"

I understand what's he saying, they gave 100% and hats off to them

Syracuse's defense played a hell of a game. Lots of hustle and heart in that team. They just ran into a team that is on another level than they are. I hope they win the rest of their games this season.

Well, what's he supposed to say? 'Yeah, I was hoping he'd bulldoze us, like that.' LOL

I would take that as the highest compliment.

they punched him in the balls tho

yea i dont have a problem with what he said

Sounds respectful as hell to me

Coach Shafer... In the year 2017, if you are still the coach at SU, when the Orangemen play in Death Valley in September on ESPN for a humid evening kickoff, you will be facing an LSU team led by Senior QB Brandon Harris that will pound your team into the turf and make you cry uncle by the time the game is over. Afterwards, you too will agree that Death Valley is the toughest venue for visitors to play in and will not want to come back again anytime soon in any coaching capacity.

Maybe next time you should want to kick his arse and not want your players to punch him in the nuts.

When I played I wanted to kick the other teams arse

Mission failed Syracuse coach.

Coaches in 50s,60s,70s and 80s said much worse things. These guys are coaching to win and I would have had the same mindset ( to kick his arse, not meaning injure him).

Coach Shafted, you are lucky that WR lined up wrong or Bugaman personally would have squezzed the juice out the Orangemen for over 325 yards. And how bout you cheapos getting some AC in your dome.

Shafer, good try, but you failed. He is still the Heisman front runner despite your gang tackling, with the whole team piling on, and Fournette coming out of that pile without a helmet and kicked in the nuts. Without two questionable penalties Fournette had over 360 yds, and LSU 48 pts. Your defense was impressive and so was your walk on QB. I wish I could say no harm, no foul.

What a.....well, not going to say it. He and J.T. Curtis cut from the same mold, teaching their kids the same tactics. Patriots did much the same, Saturday afternoon, to Bruce Jordan-Swilling. Freaking cowards.

From Syracuse.com we learn of Shafer's "goal" with regard to Leonard Fournette.

"Two years ago, Syracuse helped CRIPPLE former Boston College running back Andre Williams' Heisman Trophy campaign. Williams was held to 29 yards and left the game in the third quarter WITH A SHOULDER INJURY.

On Saturday, the Orange faced another Heisman candidate in LSU running back Leonard Fournette. For SU head coach Scott Shafer, THE GOAL WAS THE SAME. The result, though, was different.

Incredibly, Shafer comments that he wished for Leonard Fournette (in this case) to "no longer be in the Heisman race after (Syracuse) played him". It takes a heinous and depraved mind to even hint that injuring a student athlete is a "goal". He is unworthy of the title and position of a Coach. By his own words he proves himself undeserving of admiration or respect.

@km coming in hot! dayum!

Hey coach, "want" in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first.
