A lot of the non internet diehard people think this.They had to? Really? I don’t think they had to do anything. So what if the media speculated for a day. They could have done nothing, had JW presser the next day thanking him for his years of service, for building the program, for dedicating his life to the university. Etc. He didn’t have to be there. I think ending it on a tweet was weaksauce. So do many others
A cranky jerk? maybe, but 47 years of service maybe deserved a little better
Why do I have to prove anything? Holy cow. You want me to drag my old neighbors to here and confess to you? What? OK judge wapner.prove it, outside of anecdotal commentary.
And if we want to use anecdotal commentary...all the fellow alums I talk with and family members that are local to CNY...none brought up that he was wronged. Not one.
Still local friends are livid about it. Not all. Some.
The syracuse dot com comments (which are usually hilarious by the way) are strangely pro JB, and they really had not been. The perception outside this here microcosm of super-diehard, and knowledgable fans, among SOME people, is that it was not handled well.
You can argue JBs fault all you want. Doesn't change the perception.
My guess is that it will all go away when it is handled well. Maybe this will take JB saying something nice about Red and accepting things publically while the bureaucrats exist in the background. I do not know. And maybe that will be giving JB something he wants, like some ambassador role with the university. Again, don't know.
