Adrian Autry to Take Helm of Men's Basketball as Jim Boeheim's Storied Career Comes to End

[Capt. Tuttle]

JB cares about JB not what is best for SU. You just know next season during a losing streak he will say something like Well if I were still HC we would be doing a lot better.

Bet you one year’s mortgage he would never do that.

Hopefully is more successful than “orange is the new fast”

Good news is the bar to clear that is pretty low.

 

[OrangeinDC]

It’s one of the things I’m concerned about. Seems unpolished in regards to taking to press etc.

What does that even mean?

The one constant of my sports fandom for all teams. Sad to see it end this way but I the good memories will be all I remember when push comes to shove. Thank u Jim

The Queen and now this.

Must have been an awful thing to spend 4 years at Rutgers. Hopefully Danny recovers someday.

 

[cliftonparksufan]

Has Coleman or Melo tweeted anything yet?

 

[Oakland]

Yup. Todays press conference appears to be JBs way of saying “what is coming today wasn’t my idea”. The word “retirement” is not included in that release….so you know what it wasn’t.

Sad that JBs endorsement of Red could not be included or would not be included. That’s too bad.

In a few years JB will regret how this played out. He left in a spiteful manner. I hope he issues a statement supporting Red at some point soon.

If not, it will be petty. He’s pouring gasoline on his legacy and tossing in a match.

You’re assuming that it is all over - we’ll see.

Who?

Some douche

Fun post!

I wonder how long it will be before Head Coach Autry will be attacked here by the critical fans about his success/failures at the portal or recruiting or wins/losses. Hope he is a strong person enough to weather the eventual storm.

I hope that they give HC Autry at least 1 year grace period before the boo birds start whining about him.

Good bye Jim, enjoy your retirement with Julie and the family.

Congratulations, Adrian on your appointment. Hope you have a position for GMAC.

So, the part about JB stepping down is certainly questionable, but at least the basketball part of one of my rare 'insider' nuggets seems to have had some legs.

What I'm hearing

How tall is he?:mad: 5'2 3/4

syracusefan.com

I would love a Doug 2.0. I just think he hates college football and hates it even more with NIL and the portal

 

[GooseMutt]

Doesn’t matter. I’m still going to Juli’s barbecues

 

[TinyManInside]

Twice? When was the 2nd one?

Hopkins was originally named coach in waiting by Daryl Gross in 2007 or 2008. I don’t know why no one remembers this. Then there was a second coach-in-waiting designation in the mid 2010s.

 

[Sherman20]

No one is more shocked than Hop. Boeheim un-retired on him twice.

You mean Hop is shocked that Cuse finally pulled the plug?

 

[GooseMutt]

Does Gerry leave?

It was the worst coaching handoff I have ever seen

 

[cusefan88]

It's nice to see the former players praise JB and then immediately turnaround and be incredibly excited for Autry.

 

[Sherman20]

We are all here because of Jim Boeheim

Totally agree. But JB himself would say (and has said in his book) that his players made him. And the fans in Central New York. When he wants to be humble he’s capable of it. But his ego sometimes (maybe often) gets the best of him.

And I assume they all got on that charter jet from Greensboro to Syracuse. Was Wildhack there?

 

[Orangello]

Lol. Who tf is that

Igor’s brother

He wasn’t a saint, and no one claimed he was. This guys attempt at airing his sour grapes is embarrassing.

 

[grepal]

That was a really in-depth coaching search.

Good luck Coach Autry! This is your time! Go get it!
