A new coach will work his @ss off on the

[Orangefizz]

What has he done not to? His is the name I here overwhelmingly most often when recruits are interviewed. I don’t blame him if they don’t end up coming here… I blame what we’ve become due to an antiquated defensive system. Try listening to him analyze what’s happening on the court sometime and tell me the guy doesn’t deserve a shot to be a head coach.
I respect all your opinions but that’s mine.

I actually wouldn’t be surprised to see GMac as head coach at Lafayette next year. They just suspended their first year coach.

Put Red and GMac into a national pool of applicants. If they still come out on top, great.

But both those guys couldn’t move JB off his positions.

I can’t believe people are saying GMac or red. Good lord. It’s like the acolytes are looking for a parachute.

Gmac or Red

Trey will come here from GW out of the portal in a few years

Shhh. You are making sense. Not allowed on here, lol.

assume he’s from Scranton or knows him personally

Wrong on both counts.

Autry coaches the Forwards according to the Cuse athletics page. What Forward has improved since they've gotten here? Benny hasnt, Maliq has platued, Chris well..., Taylor eh. Quadir yikes

They stayed on the Titanic with the Coach. Outside of that nothing.

ok...welp...I was hoping for the best as the alternative would be kind of unsavory

recruiting road. A new coach will play more than one defense. Sign me up. No It can't get worse than this.

question for every coach we interview. Do you play zone? If they say yes even for one time down court, thank you for your time.

The zone is just awful. These two blowouts don’t happen if JB had committed to playing man to man early on along with some zone, and not let teams get comfortable. Not to mention the stale offense. Which I hate.

Good point, this is one of the stupidities of JB's program management that is overlooked.

The new coach needs to get a get a big man, on our coaching staff, to recruit and coach our big players!

Is Autry coaching Jessie - looks like it.

And your unsavory alternative would have been unsavory.

I can’t even tell you how truly different it would be with Red. He’s not a JB disciple. Gmac is. Autry is not. He’s his own man and he knows the game and schemes way more than anyone knows

The program is in shambles. I want to go outside the program and feel like a splash hire is needed. But I do feel like Autry could be a wildcard and end up being a great hire, and I know you’re a fan of his. It’s hard, though, to predict. With Autry and Griff, you maintain most of the current roster and we also go ham in the portal, and that might bring some buzz for next season. But his x’s and o’s and bench coaching skills are a total unknown. I appreciate your perspective and sharing this, Bulldog.

For being unsavory.

 

[CuseBlock]

Where does the Red assumption come from? Has there been concrete talks about this, or is it smoke?

 

[Grbac]

Wildhack has over 30yrs of ESPN executive experience. His Rolodex has to run very very deep. We are talking top college guys top NBA guys executives from all over.
I think he would be able to bring in top candidates for the job.
No way this is handed over to anyone on the bench. Wildhack didn’t get to where he is by chance.
I agree he should have found an exit for JB by now but I do think he’ll do a great job once the position is open.

This comment and most on this thread is a crock of s#! If you don’t think the other guys on that bench don’t see what we and the rest of the free world sees then your just mad as hell and not thinking straight. They don’t agree with what Boeheim is doing but they would never turn on him. I like Autry but my gut tells me….. and get ready to fire away…..give it to Gerry. He will win here.

Let me have it.

Why? Will we be in the Patriot League?

 

[IthacaMatt]

Like Red, but that’s going to be a tough sell to the fans. Would really prefer we go outside. Ryan Cabiles needs to go too. His S&C programs give us nothing.

We are a mess. I think we are going to end up needing 7-8 players next year. I’m really concerned about us being Louisville or Georgetown next season.

Yes, it's hard to believe Cabiles still has a job. Our guys haven't looked like they lift any weights in at least 10 years, maybe longer.

The tear-down of the roster is complete. But where are all our draft picks??

That would be a great place for him to start his career.

Why?

Why does Gerry McNamara deserve to be head coach of SU?

What on his coaching resume makes him more qualified than perhaps several dozen other potential hires?

At least GMac is young and understands /seems to build relationships with the players. He also actually tries to coach up the kids in timeouts while JB sits there with his chin on his hand saying absolutely nothing (unless it’s to continue cussing out a player or going after a ref). If you handed this team over to a REAL coach I can promise you they’d put a better more competitive product on the floor than the crap we’re watching right now

How different would the roster be with Autry at the helm? That’s really what matters. Can he immediately get our recruiting back to where it was 10 years ago?

If not, pass.

Modern players are just too good at shooting to keep the zone an effective strategy. They will hit shots from NBA range if you allow them open looks. The game has changed.
