No.

Here are things every single person on this board agrees on:

- The last 9 years have not been good
- The last 4 years have been really not good. Bad, even.
- Syracuse isn’t the program we want it to be, expect it to be, knew it to be.
- The responsibility for the downturn is shared but lies primarily with the coach.

I understand.  You wanted his last year to be multiple years ago.  So every season since then has been aggravating and one season too many.  That’s why one more season isn’t just one more season to you.  When you look back on the years you feel like he shouldn’t have been here, another year is a slap in the face.

I get it.  I just don’t agree that one more year of him (probably) being on good behavior and maybe doing something good with the team isn’t preferable to an ugly (or uglier) departure that leaves nobody looking good.  There’s no reason for the admin to flex its muscle on a coaching career on its death bed.  Make an agreement for him to ride off into the sunset after next season and call it a day.  Do your due diligence in that time to find the right guy to come in.  Who knows, maybe it’ll be somebody they can tell recruits about so recruiting can still happen during the ‘farewell tour’.  I’d prefer that to an abrupt change and scramble.

The ‘get him out yesterday’ sentiment sounds vindictive and almost like people want to punish him for being a jerk and not winning enough games.
