I agree. Where I land is that we are not the Harlem globetrotters but we are also better than many of the teams we've played this year talentwise.
for the standard of SUBB, I would say we are on life support. Alive but not well. For this program we have different standards rightfully so. We are one of the winningest programs in the history of the sport. When your 30k stadium has 5k people there for a conference game, we are dead in relation to THIS program.
Are you actually serious about this? What do you think a prospective coach would think about coming into a job where 2 starting jobs are already guaranteed with unproven players?
Thanks for the clarification.
I've wondered for a while whether existing commitments to players,e.g. playing time, are part of the problem.
Everyone knows what the score is. Nobody should be chanting at a home game for a coaches termination. Not cool.
We don't have an alpha dog as a HC and we don't have an alpha dog as a go to player. Someone who can rally the troops.
They are even worse than the coach. Do they have infants running the account?
Exactly my point. I went on vacation and missed the last 2 games. Just followed the score and gameflow without watching. Takes alot of emotion out of the games.
I get that’s the rationale take, but we’re talking sports man, there’s nothing rational about it and that’s why it’s awesome. But, dude, these kids are watching their precious college years of watching their team go down the toilet. Never have seen them in the tourney man. The guy gets paid MILLIONS because of the high pressure stakes. Yell at me all you want when I’m banking millions a year, because I signed up for that if I failed the fans. That is literally part of the job, you have to face that reality if you fail. You think Kentucky, Duke, UNC fans would act different if they were on pace for not making tourney for 5 straight years?
JB ran everything DURING games.
You are 1,000% spot on. Even last year team not nearly as talented left a lot of wins out there because of bad coaching strategy and close wins against inferior competition that should’ve been more comfortable wins. National media knows, Syracuse is an uncomfortable subject because I think they probably think it’s impressive how badly we’ve underperformed with the players we have. This season it’s awful, players on even the best teams make mistakes, it feels like with our timeout timing and substitution patterns, the mistakes are exacerbated. Last night was the worst coaching I’ve ever seen from Autry. 3 things drove me nuts last night. Zephir, I understand why he played, guard foul trouble early, I thought he held up well, but 11 minutes in the first half, really? I appreciated that he was ready for his name to be called, but any other coach would play him for like 5 minutes than rotate your go to guards the rest of the half. Two, we have the ball with 50 seconds left in the first half with our use it or lose it timeout, didn’t see Red urging a 2 for 1 or calling a timeout to go 2 for 1. Three, in probably the most critical stretch of this game, the under 8 timeout in the second half, Naithan George and Donnie Freeman were on the bench, no words on that decision. Btw, this fan base feeling on Naithan George, I know he has had tough games, but they are beyond off base, ask St John’s who is point guard less and North Carolina if they would love to have this player, they would be contenders for a national title if they had him. We should be at a place in our season where we thinking of what steps need to be taken to get to that level, that’s how far behind schedule I feel this team is right now. Alex Kline built a great roster, if only he had the power on staff management, I have a feeling it would look a little different as well. Especially now, we do have one of the most talented team in the ACC and likely top 25 in the country, but last night especially a team like Virginia Tech, while they are good, we should not be losing to them at home.
ha this is what I don't get, it's less than 6 weeks. 7 of the next 12 games are on the road.
They paid for their tickets. They have the right to chant.
Pro sports are harsh
These players should be playing on a much better team, so really it’s about the efficiency that needs to be getting better for all of them. Betsey a top 50 player out of High School making a jump in his sophomore year from freshmen year, that’s normal FYI. We definitely needed more NIL, that’s the problem and why we couldn’t beat Hofstra at home and Boston College on the road. Even if this team was 14-5, 4-2 in the league, I don’t think we are feeling great this morning and that we still missed out on opportunities like Houston in Vegas, Clemson and Virginia Tech at home. But I think the vibe this morning is a bit different morning and people would be waiting to see what happens again Miami and the upcoming opportunities in February.
I wonder what happens if the new coach we want is not a fan of Kiyan's game?
