Fans of college basketball know what’s happening in Syracuse is nothing but shameful

This reminds me a lot of John Chaney at Temple, teams used to be good and ran the program into the ground. Even ran a zone too!

Great comp

And that's a program that still was a tier below vs SU. SU is coming all the way down.

It’s going to be a sad one when JB realizes it’s over and states such at a presser. It’s over and said presser is coming. The sooner the better for the program to shift gears and move on. It’s a few years overdue if not more.

The transition from elite program to irrelevant but then back to relevancy but because of the stunning depths the program has fallen to is sad to watch.

We’re playing with fire on becoming one of those punchline fan bases chasing their past and always thinking they’re just one coaching hire away.

Sounds like football,

I worry he isn’t going to realize it, and there will be no choice for Syracuse but to force a really ugly ending.

He picks on Notre Dame which is 5-1, and ignores FSU which is 1-7.

FSU is missing guys and they have been solid compared to the others outside of this year. Not to mention they were never a hoops powerhouse like Cuse/Ville.

You think he has a mid-season presser where he steps down?

Notre Dame scored 51 on the Bonnies. They stink.

No I don’t think he will step down mid season.

 

[heresjohnny88]

I'm fairly certain this is his final year.

That was kind? Imagine what he would have said last night if he wasn't trying to be kind

With this much negative publicity, I think it's becoming impossible to allow this to continue. Jim Boeheim has served Syracuse brilliantly for so long, but all things come to an end. Jim has pride, and this can't possibly be how he wants to be remembered. We need to move on so the program has a chance to recover from last few years. If they make a homerun hire we can be relevant again. We have great facilities, and a tremendous fan base. That said, the time to move on is now. I'm not sure who I would hire... allow Red or Gmac to be an interim head coach, and then look at our options. Hopkins hasn't exactly lit it up at Washington, but I think he's better than Red or Gmac. Personally, I want a fresh slate, and new life injected into the program. I hope it happens sooner than later.

We're not going to get that doing what we're currently doing.

do we know if Jim wants to stop getting paid a handsome sum of money from Syracuse and what his contract situation is? If he resigns, that money is gonzo.

Anyone know what his contract is right now?

He is no quitter. I expect this is it for him, it might be a good idea name a replacement after the new year. Let JAB have a little farewell tour and give recruits an idea of who they will play for, otherwise the new coach better be a portal master on day one.

If you look at Mizzou, new HC Dennis Gates came over from Cleveland State and brought a bunch of his players with him. He also convinced some of the key players at Mizzou to stay. That’s helped with continuity and the Tigers are off to an 8-0 start. (Granted, they haven’t played anyone yet.)

I imagine something similar will happen with any outside hire. Keep as much of the core as possible, bring in your guys, and use the portal for the rest. Depending on who we hire, the turnaround could happen overnight. Or maybe one rough season to rebuild. It really shouldn’t take longer than that, especially if Weitsman follows through.
