Red #8

Kiyan was coming here if Red Buttons or Little Red Riding Hood was coach.

Ill give up Kiyan and White for a head coach who’s capable and will make us better. Cutting the cord is inevitable. There’s no future with what we have.

Cut the cord. I hate Syracuse being irrelevant and a joke in the college basketball world!!

The scary thing are those who think this season is just an anomaly and Red hasn’t been given a fair chance yet to show what he can do. They think we are still relevant and not a joke to the rest of college basketball.

Here's another one (hot seat meter):

I'd be afraid for my life to fire Gus Fring.

And #1 on any list should be Neptune.

But I agree, Red has to go yesterday.

I’m looking at next year a little different so hear me out.

The only way Autry saves his own butt is cleaning house and going all in with the youth next year. Throw out the rotten core.

Build the entire roster around the Frosh coming in. More than talent we need guys that actually will play together. Give Sadiq and Kiyan the keys to the dome.

No one’s saying we don’t need as much talent as we can find in the portal. Problem is Autry has shown that he can’t get his guys ready or be consistent. He doesn’t have the coaching chops or personality.

So what to do. For all I care Kiyan and Sadiq can sit in a room on their own and pick their portal guys like it’s a fantasy draft. Guys they know, guys they trust, a roster that will play together. The opposite of what we saw this year.

Those are the same posters who were claiming after 19 wins last year what a great job Red did with the malcontents and just wait until he has an offseason to get his players in here we will make the tournament no problem. Then he gets his players in here and now we are terrible so it is a different excuse. It is always going to be a different excuse because they have a personal connection with him.

He can have an NBA all star team and the only thing that will do is mask his inability to coach better. He isn’t the man we need for the future. He didn’t learn much from jb. We aren’t in position to let him learn on the job. The team hasn’t gotten better. Same mistakes are repeated every game. He doesn’t know when to call a timeout or how to use one especially at the right times. Our offense is terrible, our shot selection is terrible. I don’t see many bright spots. Time to move on.

Not saying he is but like it or not you’re stuck with him next year. I’m saying the only way we get through next year is to worry less about the talent because he’s not turning it into anything anyway.

He wants to be a players coach so might as well have the players pick the roster and let them run things.

Sounds like a very Rutgersian approach.

I thought we were Syracuse.

Hah good call. Just saying I trust Kiyan to pick portal talent more than our staff right now. That's where we're at next year.

I still don’t believe we are stuck with him.
If all we win is 12 games or less (stuck on 9) and don’t make the ACC tournament, I could see SU cutting the cord.
Fact is Red and his team have to show some improvement and positive consistency.
JW proved with Fran that he is willing to take a risk and it paid off.
And if crowds continue to fall, the revenue stream is sharply cut.
i can only imagine how much parking revenue they have lost this year.

This team has a good chance to lose 20 games, and that was only done once in school history.
That team went on the next year to set the record of 27 losses in a row.
If they lose 20 games you can't bring Red back.

We aren't stuck with him, but the ACC is sooooo bad this year that I don't think the record will be bad enough to miss the ACCT. That's probably what would have to happen to ensure his dismissal given the strong internal political headwinds of making what should be a common-sense, business decision here.

Not just the bad ACC. Right now Autry and Wildhack can play the injury card. 7 games without JJ and half the season without Donnie.

We can all use common sense and say yea ok we still weren’t making the tourney but the penny pinchers can also say well we never got to find out.

If the team could play mediocre defense everybody would be a touch more forgiving.

The defense is so bad my god. Over two seasons it's clear whatever scheme or thing they're trying is a miserable failure.

The offense is nearly as putrid. Very little semblance of a plan whatsoever.
