I think the issue I have is this: Red is not accounting just for this year and last year. He is a continuation hire, so fair or not (and I think it is fair), he is also representing the last decade or so, and especially from 2016 onward when he became Associate HC.

Again, whether that is fair or not, up for debate. But he is the face of the program now.

And the play and coaching has been so bad that when you are skirting the truth, it's not acceptable. Now, it's not like he's in NYC and coaching the Knicks where they would tear him apart, he is treated with kid gloves at Cuse, same as JB.

But the issue is now that the fans, at least the ones that even care enough to pay attention to his pressers, are going to be annoyed by the type of comments he is saying. You can't keep pretending. No more BS about Jaquan being good. No more Eddie being all world. JJ being back is great, but he's not an All American. Our defense is anemic. Our offense is sporadic, I guess? Varied? Trying to spin it, I dunno.

At least when JB would get annoyed during pressers, which I wasn't happy about, you could say he has been here forever, has all the wins, the title, etc. Again, it was still bad, but you sort of knew that it was an old cranky guy that was allowed to play out the string even though it was hurting the program.

I really feel like Red just doesn't have anymore runway. So the comments that are clearly absurd and untrue are going to be met with more vitriol.
