Alex Kline published an article in the Syracuse Newspaper that I read today.  It provided an insider perspective into Head Coach Adrian Autry tenure the last two years.  Alex Kline spoke of the dedication, his loyalty to the players and coaches and the pressures of being a head coach.  The article is Alex’s personal perspective and is well written.  I believe that it reflects the honesty of how negative fan base can affect a coach’s presence of mind (mental health).

What he did not touch upon was what it is like for a new coach to directly follow a legend.  In my view, it did not matter who replaced Jim Boeheim, they were most likely going to fail in the eyes of the critical Syracuse fan base.  Adrian’s first team won 20 games and he was criticized that he didn’t do better. It did not end there.  Believe that many of our forum was typical of this animosity.

If you get a chance, read the article. You may find the perspective interesting,
