I think Jim didn’t want to leave. It’s pretty obvious. He isn’t the nicest guy sometimes and goes rogue once in a while. He is pissed they forced him out so he got back at them. It’s easy to see if u look correctly.It's obvious that they wanted him out, this wasn't decided by the ACC loss to WF. Bring the coach in, let him know what they plan on doing and discuss ways JB could still be a part of the program if that is what he desires.
SU handled this with a total lack of class, he was loyal to this program for 47 years, he had opportunities to leave but never considered them seriously. Built a dynasty of a program in central New York, recruited some amazing talent that brought a lot of joy to the area.
SU's treatment of him at this time is an abomination.
Well we know how she treated public safety officers.Nancy treated me and other young alumni better.
He already knew.Because you found out about it via Instagram doesn't mean that's how Jim found out.
I agree about insufficient information on all (nearly) sides.
I have a suggestion. Google the athletics staff, contact Mike Paulus or Jordie Kindervater. Good people, who reach out.There is no belly rub. I have an endowment (scholarship) in my grandmothers name. Last thank you letter I got was from the Nancy regime.
Indeed they will!I have a suggestion. Google the athletics staff, contact Mike Paulus or Jordie Kindervater. Good people, who reach out.
Did you watch the press conference today? Seemed to patch things up - smiles all around. Not doubting your experience, but Chancellor Syverud is a gem. Great asset to SU.btw - I'm sincerely sorry that my post took this off angle to being about me.
My point - comment - about Chancellor Syverud is that he (or whomever works for him) didn't handle the Boeheim thing well (IMHO), and - based on my experience as an alumni and small-time donor - I'm not really surprised. And Nancy was - even though complicated and folks don't like her - a kind human being to me.
(but Syracuse has been better to me than my grad school - a top-10 business program - because they have their motives which are way different from Syracuse's objectives... another story)
weird flex but okat least Nancy invited me to her home and hosted events for donors like me.
I guess I'm not good enough for Kent.
Plus the state of our athletics and some other items I'd rather not share here.
This is probably not fair, but I get a better vibe with S than I do W. Hard to explain.Did you watch the press conference today? Seemed to patch things up - smiles all around. Not doubting your experience, but Chancellor Syverud is a gem. Great asset to SU.
LIC humble brag feels.weird flex but ok
A whole lot of very concerned people and players all over this country, that's who.I’ve learned that I have a real problem with people calling for other people’s jobs.
A basketball coach’s firing wasn’t handled great. Who gives a flying fart, in the grand scheme of things? What? It makes Syracuse look bad? Who cares? Who’s thinking about Syracuse University ever?
I don't know what your occupation has been for the past 25 years. What do you do for a living that is mind blowing for you, if you'd be so kind to enlighten us?You should reach out to him. Seriously. I’d be surprised if he didn’t respond. Especially if you’ve been a contributor.
I do understand your POV. The SU athletic department has never contacted me directly. Which, for those who know what I’ve done for a living for the past 25 years, is mind blowing.But I don’t resent them for it. SU sucks at fundraising and outreach, always has. I donate because I love SU and it’s the right thing to do.
Maybe someday they’ll give me a call.

Not so fast SunnyJB had every opportunity, multiple times, to make this a proper and amicable transition. Every opportunity.
