only thing i got is reds a good person and well-liked by players and the community

At this point they need to avoid additional bad losses and win two of the three matchups with UNC/Duke. This is not happening so season is over.

On the bright side, he made it to mid-January. I guess that’s improvement.

Gotta appease Red loyalists on the BOT and prevent him from going scorched Earth to the media. Gotta hire Griff.

Win 2/3 vs Duke / unc. I’m quite sure that has zero Chance of happening

Red builds the team the right way. You can find proper positions on 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 position as he is able to find. In the long run, he can bring back SU to tournament. But he cannot do it instantly. He is not at genius level. If Syracuse can find a genius, I would agree for a replacement. But SU never wants to spend big money, I doubt we can find a genius to coach the team. Why don't let Red try? At least we see he can build the team properly. In the near end of JB era, we see him try to include pieces that cannot fit into the puzzle that is why he failed. I see George is a good point guard, not top level but good enough. He needs a shooting guard that can save him when he is in trouble.

Keep kowtowing to JB. One title. Two probations.

There are dozens of D1 coaches who would kill for one title and two probations.

Is there any school in the country that would have a better record than they do right now, if they had Red for a coach?

He’s a good person and I think everyone thinks he’s nice. Is he really well-liked in the community? I don’t think many people know much about him. He has golf outings every now and then.

Only at Syracuse over the same time period.

We were UNLV East, btw.

 

[CNYGuy]

Am I missing something? How big is his buyout? Why on EARTH would we give a first time head coach alumnus hire a huge buyout?

Because his agent prepared for literally this exact scenario?

Dracarys lol

You need 5 years to build a program per JB etc

Also may as well keep him another year if we can’t make a great hire or we’ll just be firing the next guy in 2-3 years too.

Not in the NIL portal era.
Can do it in 1 year

I mean, that’s not really the point. I’m sure Red asked for a boat made of gold. Just waffle a finger at him and say, “No!”
