Fire Autry

I wonder if the students will keep coming? For the last three games they have really shown up. But now…??

Nah. There's 4 more home saturday games. No one will care about Pitt in the finale. That leaves ND next weekend, maybe just because it's ND will get some butts in. Usually UNC brings a crowd too which is later in Feb. SMU I guess maybe.

I don't see anyone buying tickets unless they go on a little heater again and beat NCSt at minimum. Realistically there's 2 more games where the dome may even look half of what it usually does.

Syracuse has fickle fans to begin with. Zero chance of meaningful crowds

I think of the first game I watched as an admitted student my senior year of hs. Syracuse / Kentucky at the dome 1994. We are coming off probation and the place is a proverbial house of dynamite

What it is now is a shell

If they cared about the coach that much maybe they would have attempted to come out with their hair on fire yesterday and tried to play defense instead of whatever that was.

I don’t think Syracuse has fickle fans. We had good numbers for a while in football and great numbers in basketball when we were no longer competitive programs. Years of getting beat down and no faith in the coaches and school leadership will kill most fan bases.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Serious question.

What programs will also be on the hunt in a month that we're competing against?

The coaching carousel might as well be it's own little mini-portal.

Personally I think a short term measure of success with the new hire will be how sought after he is by other major programs. We need to be the top destination...

I can't stomach missing out on a hire to Pitt or Arizona St or some random Big East team. Or we are hearing that yet again we are paying a bottom of the barrel ACC salary.

“I just blocked that noise out because these guys have never played at this level and don’t know what we go through every day and how hard we work,” George said. “And just for them to come out here and boo, that’s, you know, that’s very disrespectful.”

Why should we be respectful of garbage play, giving up late in the game and constant hero ball?

 

[atlanticuse]

Maybe he can learn how to shoot free throws.
And this isn't a charity - these guys are ALL paid millions to perform.

There is no Syracuse coaching tree.

It's the Syracuse coaching log.

He needs to stop worrying about the fans and worry about his play. There's plenty to keep him busy there.

He's been a MAJOR disappointment.

The line from any player needs to be "they should be booing me. I'm not making plays or putting max effort". Whatever. But this schools first reaction from AD to coaches to players is blame the fans.

Idk I think the booing and toxic environment has something to do with that Autry needed the extra year with better talent to play his philosophy. Well now they do have it and fans see it’s not good enough.

Exactly!

Moreover, it exemplifies just how immature these kids young adults are on a broader scale with his; "attacking a man's character" comments. No one is attacking his character, moral compass, etc. Folks are booing the incredibly poor performance, while very well aware of how much coin they are being paid while consistently under performing.
