Fire Autry

[Scooch]

Right and there isn’t anyone on the bench who is going to change the season outcome or be able to rally the guys together. We have to simply wait for the inevitable and then see how things shake out for a new coach and a new team.

Yep. The staff is rotten from top to bottom. Just have to grit our teeth and wait til March.

 

[Orangezoo]

He won’t be fired this weekend. But he’s now earned that kind of treatment.

Today was flat out inexcusable.

I’d have to imagine JW makes it clear than barring a miracle 11 game winning streak after this or something like that - this is over. Red unfortunately just doesn’t have what it takes to get that kind of result.

 

[Wrinkle]

Season is far from over, still plenty of wins to be had and chances for the tournament

 

[DilemaCuse]

If his bosses tell him Autry is the hire, what is Wildhack supposed to do? Publicly disagree with them?

If it was an AD worth his salt and a non alum, they would probably say peace out from this insular cesspool of JB worship. Have fun with shortsighted hires.

 

[FloridaCuse]

In case anyone was wondering how much longer we will have to endure watching Red destroy this program, the answer is 52 days. That’s March 10th the first round of the ACCT. I’m quite certain Red will be fired on or around that day.

52 days doesn’t seem like too long, but it won’t be an enjoyable 52 days. This will be another cold winter of bad SU basketball.

IF we make the ACCT. Still plenty of time to lose more games.

 

[Cuseregular]

Only thing worse than anger is apathy, and we are heading that way unless we start fresh this offseason.

Yep, between this, the other unrelated aspects, like the portal/NIL, with no continuity of players, etc I have been completely apathetic.

For 40 years I put the teams schedule on my calendar not to miss a game and then coordinate my life around game times. Did not do that this year for the first time ever. Was about to put in in the book/calendar for the rest of the season. Yeahh, no.

 

[DilemaCuse]

No fire him tonight

Tarmac him like pat haden to Kiffin, lol

At this point, I’m rooting for us to lose so that there is no reason or hope to hold onto Red. SU will keep him on if we go 500 from here. We need to keep losing to end this unbelievable nightmare and start over.

Pretty much with two bad losses you have to go 10-3 the rest of the way imo.

 

[tptcuse]

terrible. And he has to go. And he will go. I would bet. Just firing him now doesn't really help things. Makes us fans feel better. That is it.

I generally agree with you. Not sure of the accuracy, but AI says these are the only midseason firings since 2021:

• Tony Stubblefield (DePaul Blue Demons)
  • Fired: Late January 2024 (during the 2023-24 season).
  • Interim Replacement: Not specified in the provided results, but a new head coach was later hired.
• Chris Holtmann (Ohio State Buckeyes)
  • Fired: February 14, 2024 (during the 2023-24 season).
  • Interim Replacement: Associate head coach Jake Diebler.
• Steve Masiello (Manhattan Jaspers)
  • Fired: Before the start of the 2022-23 season.
  • Interim Replacement: The provided sources do not specify the interim replacement.
• Byron Rimm II (IUPUI Jaguars)
  • Interim Coach Appointed Midseason: Rimm II took over as interim head coach midseason during the 2020-21 season (before the 2021-22 season covered by the query's timeframe).
  • Replaced: Jason Gardner.

Agree. I think the reason he gets that kind treatment right now is because other teams and coaches are playing and coaching ridiculously bad and still we end up losing. I don’t understand how the other team just has one guard that scores like 50 and we lose. Also how we can have such terrible turnovers from out ball handlers.

 

[HyattsCuse]

Red steps up to the plate.

Last season - Strike 1
Hofstra - Strike 2
BC today

 

[OrlandoCuse]

IF we make the ACCT. Still plenty of time to lose more games.

Then Red only had 49 days left

 

[Cuse_NYC]

Alright we should lock this thread.

This is just an INSANE suggestion.

Is it more insane then letting a guy who doesn’t know basketball coach a historic program?

his asinine line changes - and not starting Donnie vs. Clemson - should be thrown aside.
He should NOT coach. He is incapable of coaching at this level.

Can't hope for big upsets over Duke and UNC for the BOT to hold onto for hope in the future

 

[Irt4su]

Exactly. I sure won't look forward to the games as I once did.

The only silver lining is that it has to be the end of the thin red line for sure now, right?

Has to be

Unless we completely go on a run, probably. Every time we sniff getting back to the next level we choke.

 

[dasher]

Sorry for the aggressively negative comments.

Just very upset

We all understand.

I DONT WANT TO MAKE THE TOURNAMENT AT THIS POINT. IT MAY PREVENT THE INEVITABLE TRUTH. RED ISNT IT.

 

[DilemaCuse]

I thought he turned the corner where we didn't have to worry about these games. Sadly, I was wrong. I predict without looking at schedule and standings, maybe .500 in conference play.
