The mindset of why we can’t make this move is the exact mindset of how things got to where they are in the first place. Now if they don’t make the move mid season, I don’t think it necessarily signals success or failure for the next guy. But also the argument in that it will scare off the next coach is absurd. It would make me question if that guy is the right fit for a place like Syracuse. Red was hired via continuity at a program with a top 5 fan base in size and pride. Was given an extra year with a lot more talent to work with and is massively underperforming. A toxic environment on Gamedays and really every other non gameday with fans losing patience and angst if we will ever come close to the glory days. Players full up quit yesterday by not fouling when it was statistically possible to make a comeback, although small, it was possible enough for everyone to notice. I also think if the decision is made and you’re waiting till the end for optics, do it now. Let the fan base enjoy the in between period of Syracuse Basketball with an it is what it is mindset and let players play free and relaxed basketball. It may actually help the new coach get a more energized fan base when the time comes to announce the hiring and a fresh start to a new beginning. The players who stay or leave will be stronger going through adversity like this, it happens all the time in professional basketball.
