Message: [QUOTE="Cusefan95, post: 5347559, member: 173"] If we don't make the ACC tournament and still keep Red for another year, it will be a big national story and will inflict severe damage on the Syracuse basketball brand. Additionally, it will communicate loudly to possible future coaching candidates the lack of commitment to excellence at Syracuse University, and this will be a less appealing job than it would have 2-3 years ago. I don't think making the ACC tournament is the standard we should be striving for - but it would avoid the worst possibly media scrutiny. We're going to make it, but...I'll be honest, I've been borderline rooting against Syracuse hoping they would not make the ACC tournament. Because I couldn't see any viable way to keep Red as coach if that happened - and if they did keep him, it would be a clear sign to me to just stop paying any attention to Syracuse basketball because the University had thrown in the towel.
