Fire Autry

[Dinkyspond]

Guess no one remembers that he was let go after 7 years. Also the major headline was Coach K coming out and trashing Ohio state for firing coaches mid year.

who cares what Coach K says, he's not the pope of college basketball, although he thought he was. Everytime Duke had a rough year he'd quit on the season and leave the team with his mysterious back injury and let his assistants pile up the losses.

Id say all things considered things here are pretty tame, you should see the kentucky board, and they are going to the tournament. Years ago bama fans wanted Saban fired because he got blown out by lsu one game.

Syracuse fans are incredibly mild all things considered. I always chuckle when people characterize us as uniquely tough on players or coaches. We’re really not.

I do think it actually helps a little for her to remind people to touch grass. People say racist stuff about him all the time with the “DEI” baloney, someone tried to humiliate him on a call-in radio show, etc. For all we know the guy’s probably getting death threats. I admire her sticking up for someone she knows to be a good person and just suggesting we turn th temp down. That’s not going to change what happens at the end of the season or sooner.

Well a couple dumbasses on this board say the DEI stuff I can’t say I’ve see it anywhere else, not that I’m actively seeking out

Excellent point. We are living in a uniquely unhinged time, with angry people everywhere.
I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

I've seen him photoshopped with Jeffrey Epstein and on Osama Bin Laden on the cesspool that is twitter... I don't care who you are or how much money you make. That's not cool.

That’s not right but unfortunately that’s the times we live in. Everyone is compared to Hitler if they don’t share your view.

Look, I hear ya' and agree with you're basic premise, but I do think you're being a bit naive about the whole situation. The level of nastiness we're witnessing towards Red isn't happening in a vacuum - look around at social media when it comes to politics, sports, entertainment, etc. This is just a carry-over of the toxic climate in general- it's why haters rule the roost.
Fans, whether SU or otherwise, have ALWAYS veered towards assholic behavior. I remember JB getting pummeled relentlessly because he "cant coach & can't win the big one"- all pronouncements by misinformed, entitled fans who couldn't coach a peewee team, but swore they knew more than the HC. It was only when the wins piled up and it became obvious when the negatoids stepped back, and of course the new line of attack evolved into "he stacked his wins record w/ cupcakes" blah blah blah.
It's simply the nature of the beast, amplified 10000x in our current media environment.
As one medical professional to another, I recommend avoiding meathead message boards, podcasts, and any other outlet that caters to negativity...which basically means about 95% of them. Let the patients congregate amongst themselves- its a lot healthier for you and your overall well-being. You're welcome!

I'm glad that settles the Kiyan stuff, now we can finally put it to bed!

Syracuse basketball: Adrian Autry talks Kiyan Anthony DNP, FLJ comments and Cal game vs. Chris Bell (nunesmagician.com)

Question: On how to balance the minutes of Kiyan Anthony when metrics suggest he’s not playing well and dealing with the outside noise:
Adrian Autry: “I think at the end of the day the constant communication and you know, obviously, you know, as a coach you have to make a decision sometimes. It’s just decisions that you make. Like I said, it was a game decision. It wasn’t anything more than that. I just kind of made a decision and that was that.

Q: Where does Kiyan need to improve to earn more playing time:

AA: “Everybody has to keep improving. We have to keep improving. We all have to improve as a team collectively. I thought we defended really well — well enough against Virginia. I saw some improvements there. Offensively we still have to be able to shoot the ball better. We have to take care of the basketball and collectively that’s what we all have to get better at.”

"Assholic"? Is that a word?

As coined by my Dad, it was when I was a kid.
Similar and related to an addictive behavior scenario-
Alcoholic: addicted to alcohol, can't stop drinking.
Assholic: addicted to acting/behaving like an anal orifice,
ie: "He can't stop acting like an azzhole" or " You kids stop w/ that assholic behavior".

Great. Really clarified things there. …..

Well a couple dumbasses on this board say the DEI stuff I can’t say I’ve see it anywhere else, not that I’m actively seeking out

a couple dumbasses? Prominent insiders have indirectly, discreetly implied that DEI was part of the calculus when it became a Gerry vs Red decision. They just called it "optics" but it's essentially the same thing if they had reason to believe Gerry was the better candidate.

Good lord it’s become the excuse for just about everything anymore. DEI or foreigners are the cause of all our issues.

How about leadership made the wrong decision and be done with it? Stop excusing mistakes and point accountability where it belongs.

As someone whose done a lot of hiring over the past decade and a half, the real issue is that there is a great deal of poor leadership and lack of analytical skills when it comes to hiring from entry level up to c suite. It’s been a problem for a while and any issues around DEI are a drop in the bucket to a much larger issue.

I think virtually none of how you've framed it is remotely accurate.

I've seen posters SPECULATE that it would have been a problem to elevate a younger assistant over a more experienced one, given the racial stuff.

But I have never seen anyone say that it was a factor, a primary reason, or anything along those lines.

While we can all agree it was the wrong decision the things Red had in his corner were recruiting the relationship building with the players and at least some experience outside of SU. Gerry had the fire and leadership as a player but neither had real experience in that setting as a coach and Gerry was still a question mark on recruiting with both an unknown on Xs and Os

As an AD we were not well prepared on the NIL front and this assessing that aspect at the time was not reasonable either. So we had clear blind spots. Going outside the family clearly would have ruffled feathers but a major mistake was made evaluating the options there were. On a blind resume take it’s not unreasonable they chose Red at all given we were at a disadvantage from the get go with being unprepared on the biggest aspect of recruiting going forward.

i definitely don’t use Facebook, can’t say my x feed has had anything racist though

Good lord...I cringe every time I hear Autry talk. I don't think I've heard a single insightful, well spoken answer from him in the 3 years as coach. Haven't learned a thing about basketball listening to him talk about games or players.

He simply doesn't have the communication skills to be a head coach, half of the battle with coaching is clear communication and the ability to explain to a player what you need them to do

I will say that in fairness to Red, the local media are about as sharp and incisive as a spork. Hard to improve when you can’t get reps up.

I’ve been vocal about the next coach needing, among other things, excellent communication skills - with players, staff, media and the donor class. Red rarely looks comfortable or in control anytime he’s in front of a group of people.

Yup all of this. It’s falls directly on the smooth brains on the BOT for Stupidly Making the CHOICE( it’s a choice they didn’t have to at all) to name a Coach in waiting not just once, BUT AGAIN AFTER THE FIRST WAS AN EMBARASSING POOP SHOW
