I think it's just how they prioritize.  It's just a fact that Syracuse has actually never paid for a top tier Football or Basketball coach in the modern era especially not out of the gate.

Hoops it was never a concern with the old man, Boeheim salary was peanuts comparably, if anyone watched that 30 for 30 he made his millions way back in the day just to have his players wear Nike or Adidas shoes. Autry was paid at best middle of the ACC salary, someone can correct me but I'm confident saying there's 40ish coaches paid more than he is across the entirety of P5.  No doubt Autry is underperforming his pay but not like the school dug deep to pay him either.  Then our football coaches salaries it's been nowhere near the top of the pay ranges and Fran technically was a cheap hire given he was not even a coordinator in the SEC.

The SU mindset tends to be if they succeed we will give them extensions and success incentives.   Same as many places, but not really ideal for a fanbase sharpening their pitchforks because we can't seem to make a 68 team tournament.  Syracuse seems allergic to overpaying for new sports coaches in my opinion, they want value and guys that are likely to stick around.

Maybe that changes for Cuse hoops because the pressure is building, who knows.
