I’ve been saying since before he was even hired that Autry is not the guy. He’s a nice dude, he’s a good recruiter and he’ll get players. But he is not a head coach at this level. He has no presence, that a head coach needs, he can’t control a locker room/room, he lacks X’s and O’s, he’s not a smart coach. Now if Autry was an assistant here I would be happy. I think he’s a good assistant that you want. He’s the perfect good cop to bad cop. You typically want your coach to be the bad cop. Where he is hard on the players, demanding and players in turn respect you for that. But you always need that good cop assist that’s a very player friendly coach. PERFECT example to this was Boeheim and Hop. Hop was an amazing recruiter and players coach. The perfect good cop to Boeheim. I don’t think Autry has the capability to be the bad cop and I think the players still respect him. But they don’t respect him like a Boeheim, or tbh I know for a fact the players had more respect for Gmac while he was here. Autry is just not cut out for this job, like at all. Extremely nice dude, as a person I will not say a bad word about him. As the head coach of Syracuse basketball, I have a hard time finding anything good to say about him in terms of the job he does
