I'm wrong about things all the time, but I can say in good faith that the Autry hire felt awful to me from Day 1. It just felt like the laziest possible move we could have made. "Oh, well he's on campus and already here, let's just give him a chance and see what happens."

All the more bizarre when they would not even consider GMAC who JAB pushed for.
It was just an incredibly lazy thing to do.

Red wanted this chance, it is no shame that he wasn't up to the test.
A lot of good assistants cant make it as a head coach.

May he find a good assistant job and get his confidence back.
And hopefully the ability to smile again.
He has looked so broken and old the last 2 years.

Why would any AD candidate want to come to Cuse if they can not pick the new Bball coach.

It just never made sense.

Don't be dense. They are. WIldhack ends his tenure, new person picks up with new hire. Its most likely been in the works for a while. They aren't starting today.

You should not be so dense. Please re-read this thread knucklehead and then you will understand my comment.

Red was put in the unenviable position of having to follow a legend. Made even harder by the legend not wanting to leave. It was always going to be an uphill climb for him and it's sad it didn't work out.

A position Red chose of his own free will.

They didn’t want to pay a relocation package

Just gotta read the posts. Thamel specifically said JW fires and the new AD hires...

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Agreed. School was assuming continuity was good and it may have been w the right selection. Gerry may have needed seasoning similar to red needing it in hindsight

A continuity hire WAS ALWAYS A BAD IDEA! Still is.

OK BRB!

 

[SUFaninNJ]

The inevitable has happened. Now we move forward and hopefully upward. Best of luck, Red.

Exactly.

Maybe as part of the interview process, that's happening, theyve asked the candidate basketball question and what their plan would be; coaches they'd put on the short list.

The BoT and JW took the laziest, easiest and cheapest way out. But, that three year experiment is over. Let's get back to winning basketball games.

Nice knowing you Red. Thanks for the memory of Quadir beating Miami!

And yet fired boeheim in the weirdest, oddest and prob most expensive way giving him a no show job

Time for the adults to run the show again.

Any chance we keep any of the assistants? You'd think they'd be fired immediately too

 

[OrangeCrush22]

He's a very good person. He's been a major part of SU success since he selected Syracuse over basically every other school in the country. I'm sorry it didn't work out for him

“Following a legend.” Nearly a decade of mediocrity is what Autry was being compared against and he still couldn’t achieve that. It’s not like he took over for JB in 2013 and just couldn’t do it.

Ask the next coach if he wants them?

I think they stay temporarily until the new coach is announced.

 

[MGP]

Thanks, Red. However things turned out you'll always be forever Orange!

Who would want them? Griff In particular

None should stay

It just never made sense.

the BoT and Chancellor will let them pick, here are the choices:

1. Bryan Hodgson
2. bryan hodgson (but in lower case)
3. BRYAN HODGSON (but in all upper case)
