Message: [QUOTE="RedtheGOB, post: 5361649, member: 8907"] Autry should get his butt kicked up and down all offseason from the fanbase and everyone. They did not get better all year and that's not excusable. However, Letting go of coaches after a 2nd year is just shortsighted regardless if he is a continuity hire or not. Too many people talking about not even giving Autry 3 Strikes. People need to look no further than Keates running the table in the ACCT and to the final 4 (that's not us btw and not saying that will ever happen). Point is that coaches hit a homerun some years and strike out other years. If you looked at that nc state roster and that coach on the court last night you would say this coach will never make the tourney ever, yet he was laughing to the bank all offseason having taken down Duke twice and UNC over 2 weeks in Mid March on his way to a Final 4 while going 0-3 to them in Feb. Did Keate's all the sudden become a better coach in the span of 2 weeks in Early March this time last year? Nope his players realized they were more talented than they were playing and started talking, simple as that. Our fanbase is so accustomed to thinking we just deserve to be in the tourney every year just because we always were there and that our players will always be better basketball players even with the whole sport has flipped upside down the last 5 years with the SEC, portal and NIL. I know people will bend my words and say oh this will be Dino all over again, 1 good season every 5 years, I'm not saying that either. Autry has one more offseason to improve almost everything with this program. For me Autry can have his 3rd strike and if the product still stinks then he's out. If he makes the tourney then his seat is still hot and should be hot every year until he shows he's got the chops to be the Head Coach of the Orange. [/QUOTE]
