UNC Post Game

[Red2003]

Can anyone give me one reason why this isn't coaching or talent evaluation? We started the season in the top 70 in all metric sites based on talent. We are currently the 140th and fourth-worst P4 team, 15th-ranked ACC offense, and 13th-ranked ACC defense. Now, I understand the NIL isn't top-tier, but we sure as hell aren't fourth last in funding. No identity, no development, no talent evaluation, continued mistakes. The lack of GM this year just shows how clueless Autry is at roster-building and further proves he should not be the coach of Syracuse.

I can't think of 1 reason to be excited for a Red-coached team next year. By all accounts, he will have more resources and a GM in place. A LOT of pressure is being put on Alex Kline and I think Red is going to waste the resources provided next year and Kiyans first year of 2. Bite the bullet and pay the buyout now, this is not a serious program to keep a coach who went 12-19.

You want the answer from the program. JJ was out for 7 games and Freeman out for half a season. Carlos and Bell complete busts to the extent they were benched.

It's all just smoke to cover Autry one more year but that's what you're going to hear all offseason so might as well get ready for it. Personally when we lost to ND the first game without their best player I knew Autry would never be the guy.

You would lie to them cuz he overpaid for Eddie and then couldn't get his first choice at the PG. He was just trying to smooth over the mess, and yes it was of his own creation. Why do you think there's a GM now? So Autry has some backup for talent evaluation and it's not just on his shoulders to answer to donors that basically saw their money lit on fire this year. and yes I'm one of those very small donors.

So he lied to them knowing the team would be a disaster this year? That seems like bad business to me

I’ve had enough of everyone on this team. There’s not a single individual, staff or players alike, that can’t or possibly shouldn’t be replaced. And all of that falls on Red. It’s why I’m so supportive of him getting fired this year. If you don’t feel he’s the guy to bring back Syracuse to the standard we all expect then you have to move on from him. This program isn’t some charity case where he gets to learn how to be a head coach and we give him 4+ years to try to figure it out. That’s what low major D1 programs are for.

Everyone needs to interview for their job next season

I remember a sports writer who came to practice early in the season, and was complimenting Red on how all the players greeted both Red and the writer with handshakes as they walked into the Melo Center for practice. I remember the writer talking about the good culture Red was creating with the players. How can both these things be true?

Manners does not equal toughness. Team is so soft

Sorry to hear you got burned. Related to that after this seasons performance he's gonna need more than saying I got a GM now and won't screw it up like last year to convince donors id imagine.

You think they're offering Dome and Melo Center tours next weekend?

 

[tptcuse]

Sure. We've started most games with the 5 guys on the floor that we want. Not every game, but most games.

That's a plan for a game.

Underrated post.

And we gave away the Georgetown game.

Red was switching Cuffe and Bell offense for defense at the end. But Cuffe was on O and Bell on D. It’s time……

I'm sorry, XC, I like you as a poster but this is pathetic.
Bob Knight just picked recruits who all already were great defensive players, I guess.

No worries. Nothing is absolute and Knight was a good teacher…. but yes, he recruited great players with defensive skills which he helped hone. Great players wanted to play for him and they did.

We can’t just dismiss that some players are just not that good. I think that’s what we have here.

Unfortunately looks like Ewing and Red may have the same coaching acumen
