As to Gus i have no doubt that he is both mentally and physically capable of coaching another 5 years. The question is will he be successful.  
For me, i support Syracuse athletic teams. The coaches and the players come and go. My loyalty is to the team. Not a coach or player. Its why i can applaud and be critical of a player or coach. 
Take Jim. I appreciate his genius which was on display yesterday.  He coached a really good game. We dont win without his coaching.  I also cringe when he makes outrageous comments and or acts like a petulant bully in a press conference.  See im not loyal to Jim. Im loyal to Syracuse.  What is good for the health of our programs and our community is where my loyalty lies. Same with politicians and business leaders or my priest. 
I cheer for the institution.  The people that represent and run them are a means to an end. They have the responsibility to do the best job they can possibly do to enhance the institution.  On the other hand they need to be provided the resources and support to do their jobs.

What makes me sick is the inability for some to see this, to acknowledge that you can be objective when it comes to Jim as a coach or a player. Its ok to give praise and criticism.  Focus on the success of Syracuse and it becomes easy. Focus on a coach or player and your priorities are in my opinion misplaced.
