Do you think Boeheim has a set retirement date that he will stick to?

[FRANKIEFAN]

Because "Boeheim and the Syracuse Decline" is now a national topic and JAB is both really insecure about it and thinks he can speak to it effectively, which is obviously not the case.

Whether it's ego, frustration, "Jim just says stuff", or a combination of hefty helpings of all 3, he just can't let it fall to the floor and not respond... He is a PR nightmare on this to be sure.

We are all numb to it at this point but that article and his comments are beyond ridiculous.

Pitt, Wake, and Miami get their act together for the first time in a decade and are having nice seasons and JB can't help but accuse them of buying their teams. Why didn't he go after Louisville they are a known shady program they wouldn't let Wake forest buy teams and not do it themselves?

Until COVID and NIL we had a better 10 year run with transfers than ANYONE yet somehow JB screws up that shift in the CBB landscape and doesn't keep pace with rank and file ACC teams.

Again look at the culture guys on that team who weren't close to Buddy put up with. Jimmy Jr isn't playing for Cornell and is at the practice facility every day and the coach is telling them he'll play 40 MPG the next year. Buddy never sits no matter how cold or poor on D he is. Joe starts no matter what. Wouldn't you want to go home ASAP and play call of duty or something if that was your workplace you aren't hanging out on Saturdays or going for dinner/beers/lunch with your colleagues.

Of course it didn't work out well for any of them and they didn't land in perfect spots look what happened to our last Seton Hall transfer. I'm still pissed at the way talented players on that team were treated.

Dion Waiters and MCW both stayed despite not getting the time they wanted and ended up with NBA careers. Dion leveraged the 6th man role into a lottery position. KR had people in his ear and it hasn't worked out for him.

The other thing is Thamel is a known puke I think most of the media at this point are aware that JBs last days are coming and the programs not in a good place. Of course he has to go along and goad him into bad responses to generate clicks. What’s Boeheim gonna say I should have left with my kids this years team.

Now everyone is going to want an interview and to get the same type of stuff out of a HOFer. Hopefully JB slows down and doesn’t cost himself an announcer gig post coaching.

 

[DilemaCuse]

You said the perception of the program doesn’t matter, and this will be out of the news cycle soon.

Meanwhile we have no recruits for next year, and the coach is publicly saying we aren’t paying but everyone else is. Can’t make this stuff up. Of course the perception that Syracuse is a washed up program with an over the hill coach that hates the sport and doesn’t want kids to make money, and hates on them when they leave early for the pros matters.

Recruits should come play for me because I am hall of Fame coach. I can even keep it close against the teams in my league where everyone cheats, ha pathetic, sad.

 

[NYCCuse826]

want in on a secret...


WE ARE CURRENTLY BUYING A TEAM.

Where did I say that SU wasn't? I'm in the recruiting thread saying that I don't like where this is headed. And who's we? You don't play for them.

 

[NYCCuse826]

Because he mentioned two schools that aren’t doing it?

Everyone knows where the bodies are buried and who's doing what. Everyone isn't going to be happy about getting exposed. Its precisely why on the football side, everyone will complain about tampering but no one will say names.

Yeah, it’s Thamel’s fault.

No. He retracted his statement about Wake and Pitt. He wasn’t exposing anyone, he was running his mouth.

He stood by the Miami claim, which everyone knows about.

JB is only going out on a stretcher, unless (i) Julie threatens to take off for Florida and leave him behind or (ii) the Scranton Miners offer him their head coaching job...even then I'm not sure that would be enough.

He doesn't know anything except the daily commute to up to the Hill. He's been making that run every day since what???

Leaving Lyons in 1963? That's before I was born and my wife has been after me to consider retirement!!

lol

 

[NYCCuse826]

lol

That's all you can do because you don't have anything worth saying. As if you ever do.

 

[Deleted member 8116]

I don’t think there is going to be a happy ending where JB makes a NCAAT run after successfully winning their first ACCT. It’s more likely going to end up scorched earth.

 

[djcon57]

i could post your previous posts where you use ”we”, you clown.

but all good. Youre on ignore. Enjoy!

Jim has gone into full DGAF mode. He has become the most arrogant loser he could possibly become. He does not care about anything or anyone besides his own ego. He throws shade at completely random people, programs, organizations. It's absolutely astounding to see what he has morphed into. I have been banging this drum since Buddy got here and have been told "how can you not support coach after all he's done?!?!" This is why!! This is who he has become. Nobody has the balls to stand up to him. Not even his own "boss".

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Yeah, it’s Thamel’s fault.

Writing retirement articles on JB is low hanging fruit and one of our own shouldn't be goading him into responses hes going to regret there is no correct answer for JB he still has to coach this team that has at least been competitive and has a shot at winning the ACCT.

I worry that the likes of Gottleib and others in the National media will all want their pound of flesh while they can get it.

 

[DoctorBombay]

I defy you to find a single headline about this in 6 days

Yes, because if people stop talking about it it'll be like it never happened.
And that's what makes it...ok? Got it.

Yeah, Thamel and Doyel (in particular) are generally total hacks... But can't blame Thamel for Boeheim opening his mouth and dropping some unbelievable whoppers.

The story has traveled and to say it's not a good look would be an understatement. "Boeheim" is a top 25 Twitter trending term right now... We're back in the top 25!

That's the point. Do you honestly believe either of them stay if the portal was available? Seriously.

 

[Newhouser]

Buddy has an NBA contract as does Swider. Buddy was also All American. JG at point was a mistake.

Does Buddy have a contract if Troy Weaver isn't in the league?

 

[OmahaCuse]

JB spinning out of control not retiring in 2016 is on the AD, Admins, President and BOT. How does a employee of private university say he decides when he wants to stop coaching? I would be embarrassed by his results, the way he treats people and his arrogance. The time to have a public plan is now.

 

[Bulldog04]

What’s scarier is I truly believe he thinks people come to games to see him coach. The locals come to games no matter who is the coach. The alumni wants to see a winning product. And here he is thinking people are supporting HIM and not the program and the school. Unreal. Completely delusional

 

[Day2]

Yeah, it’s Thamel’s fault.

Thamel’s doing his job, but let’s not pretend he didn’t see an opportunity to put the final nail in the coffin and pounced. The SUAD should not have approved the interview and/or JB shouldn’t have agreed to it.

Combination of age, years of adulation/adoring fans and thin skin is a very bad combo. It's gonna get worse (as if this isn't bad enough). I don't expect anything to change.

He’s averaging double figures.
