Message: [QUOTE="JeffCuse, post: 5308438, member: 1151"] I am simply looking at the trajectory of the programs and the timing of course corrections, or lack thereof. I agree that Syracuse has some advantages to DePaul of the era. But I'd argue some disadvantages too. The Great Midwest Conference and early Conference USA was a much easier conference to bounce back within than the ACC. Syracuse also has to deal with NIL and the money issue that DePaul never had to at the time. DePaul was also coached by Joey Meyer, who had made the NCAA Tourney 7 times in his 8 seasons coaching. He had FAR more credibility entering 1994 than Autry does now. End of the day, DePaul likely had as many reasons to think THEY wouldnt bottom out as many above are arguing Syracuse has now. That's why they sat on their thumbs and bottomed out. We should learn from mistakes such as this and be proactive before it is too late. [/QUOTE]
