I'm just waiting for this year's final four run to end with the same posters talking about how a blind bat could win with the talent Boeheim "stumbled" into this year.

Honestly, this board just makes me laugh. Let's recap the past year.

2015-2016: JB takes a decently talented team to big wins to start the year, is unexpectedly suspended, the team craters and is pretty much left for dead at the start of ACC play. He comes back, guides them to big wins in conference and squeakes into the tournament. By this point the team has gelled as only well-coached teams can, Boeheim out coaches 3 great coaches on the way to a final four, beating two teams that also had more talent than us. The board calls this the greatest coaching job of JBs career and starts panicking over the thought of losing him in two years.

Then we lose our three best players to the draft/eligibility expiration but lo and behold, Boeheim pulls 3 quality players out of thin air during the summer and board goes wild and loses its mind in buying April hotel rooms.

But upon the team losing 3 of its first 8 games, same said board decides he's clearly lost all the coaching and recruiting ability that he probably never had to begin with and that all of the assistant coaches are probably only there because JB has gone senile and too lazy to actually interview anyone. It's time to clean house and say thanks, no thanks for all the passibly mediocre work that JB has done over the past 40+ years.
