Syracuse and GM Alex Kline / Entire Staff Part Ways

[TommyA13]

Definitely would’ve liked to see him stay

 

[PauliePeppas]

Hmm

 

[Widget24]

Welp, so much for that. Full turnover it is.

That’s a bummer but also not unexpected. It was never going to be easy to try and keep former staff on board with both an AD and coaching change with the way things played out.

 

[Col. Bleep]

Yes it is
And we don’t know details.
But may be a mistake.

 

[Orangezoo]

Hmm

Yeah I’ll be curious if there is some wheeling and dealing with this too around how to manage NIL sources….

 

[richmondcuse03]

I'm sure Alex has something lined up

 

[djorange1989]

Griff being promoted to GM!!!

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

He was fine but a new start is a good idea.

 

[MSOrange]

Agree. I wouldn't be surprised to see him head back to the NBA where there are actual rules and your hands aren't tied by how much money you can raise from donors.

 

[Briancuse]

Just my two cents. The guy who they are talking to wants his own gm, and it's not hop.

For sure and I'm sure Syracuse has their guy and why this announcement is being made at this time. Alex is not in the new HC plans.

That would make sense to me

 

[PauliePeppas]

yup

 

[M2MPrinciples]

Any chance it's Alex who wanted to move on?

 

[rrlbees]

alex will have zero issues finding something new. college or nba. he is highly thought of.

 

[Briancuse]

I mean he has a pretty good gig and for all intents and purposes is coming off a down year.

 

[UnknownOrange]

yeah alex will be fine but this is 100% the correct move

I expect everyone to be gone

 

[Orangezoo]

Without a doubt. Both his superiors are being replaced - it’s standard business he would move on as would new blood bring their guy in. Nothing whatsoever to do with being a knock on Alex.

Do we assume this means this coaching target is a non-SU alum, if not interested in keeping an SU alum?

It means a new broom sweeps the cleanest.

One of two things:

-Alex already has something else lined up
-Our new HC already has his own GM and is bringing that person (assuming we are down the line with our pick)

Maybe a combo of both

 

[Fly Rodder]

I would have been OK with retaining Kline, he seems to get it, but I get that people are going to move during admin and coaching changes
