I’m realizing a lot of the frustrations with Wildhack are based on things he said in press conferences or media appearances, even though most of them for the last three years (and anything related to men’s basketball for longer) were strikingly similar to hostage videos.  Fran Brown’s introduction was the lone notable exception.  I went back yesterday to rewatch that to see if my memory of it matched reality - Brown was so dynamic and charismatic that I couldn’t remember anything anyone else said.  Wildhack was much more descriptive and made a legitimate effort to convince people Brown was the right guy even though he was never even.a coordinator. My assumption is that Wildhack successfully persuaded people to his candidate, and that he’d “won” showed in that press conference.

I’m not an insider, but could figure out that Syracuse was dysfunctional and probably getting worse just from the press conferences, press releases, and media appearances.  It’s probably not a bad thing that both Kent and John are gone.  Both of them clearly hate each other and couldn’t help but keep taking shots at each other to the end, as shown in their releases about Lyke.  One of the most important tasks the new AD and chancellor have is - at minimum - getting the various factions that have formed at the university to “sign off” on the informal peace treaty they jointly put on the table.  Hopefully in the longer term they can get everyone pushing in the same direction.
