what scares me is these same BOT members are still there. JB is still on campus. What gives us confidence that a true and proper national search will be conducted this time?
I could write a book about the things I have seen over the last 10 years and the things you write about the issues the program had before Autry became the HC are all true - and there were a few of us that were yelling about stuff on here since 2014-16. You can call it premature, but things changed drastically since Ennis’ halfcourt shot at Pitt.
Really? Rapoli is pumping St Johns with resources, I get that.
! Anyway, in my opinion George is a monumental disappointment and hasn't provided the offense with any sort of boost we thought we'd be getting over Carlos. PG is arguably the most important position- sets up the offense and is supposed to make everybody better. He doesn't do that. When he failed to get up a game-winning shot against Houston I knew it was going to be another long year at that position. Last night he amazingly scores zero points against freaking Hofstra at home while shooting 0/4 (0/3). He did get 6 assists but sorry man we need 10 points from our PG on top of that. He is the reason we lost. No point guard, no good team. It simply boils down to that in my opinion.
I cannot agree w this enough.
Excuses are like u know what.
Maybe piss of the donors, I would get a few losses into the ACC when it’s clear we are eliminated and then do it. But honestly I have a hard time arguing against it
Are you serious? Niagara coached by Paulus couldn’t beat LeMoyne. They are maybe the worse team in America. He will be fired at the end if the year.
Gmac will be pushed by donors, especially if Siena does well this year
Paulus’s teams are terrible. He has had zero success.
We both grew up in the same area, so we certainly know that one can become a super fan of a mediocre-to-lousy team if your family and region are sports-obsessed and support that affinity (see: Patriots, Red Sox).
The decision to go the mid-major head coaching route with hopes of reaching P5 head coach is super risky and can tank a coaching career or delay it by many years. Sometimes it's just better to remain on as an assistant like Hop and Autry did and get your shot that way. Paulus should have declined Niagara and waited for a better school or stayed on as an assistant at GW. We'll see how it plays out for GMac. We see what it did for Autry and he blew his shot because he's low IQ.
It’s simple. 40 years on the job and you develop powerful allies with the BOT. The buck stops with the BOT, who put their “access” above what’s best for the university. And that’s why I’m very nervous JB will still have influence on the picking of the new coach.
One thousand percent. JB ego ruined the program. Red supporters still using it as an excuse is crap. JB isn't the reason we can't run an offense or break a press. Red is on the hook and needs to be removed.
Where are they going? I mean we need a coach we have talent. I’m fine with seeing if one of
“What time is the Patriots game?” (Joke in 1989)
You are right, it's just you
so what? Carlos was the worst point guard in the last 60 years of Syracuse basketball. Have fun playing in Moldova. Westry never got off the bench, seems like it was own doing for various personal and health reasons. Have fun playing in Uzbekistan.
