I’m extremely doubtful that was his honest, FULL opinion.  We can probably all recall the long discussions about the weird accounting Syracuse was using which put football at a huge disadvantage.  The school looked at football as a cash cow, rather than as a key area to continue investing in.  There’s absolutely no way Coach P was ok with that - but he was also the consummate “company man” who just played the hand he was dealt without complaint.

If “we needed a few more players” was the true answer, he could have told that to the media in a way which it was his accountability - so he wouldn’t have said “I have no idea.  If the answer was “Jake and the school have been plundering the football program so we don’t have the resources we needed to compete”...well, “I have no idea” is probably the better way to go when asked by the press.

All I take from your post is that Coach P was such a company man to his core that he was still not going to speak poorly of the company after they fired him.  Which, in the end, was both an admirable character trait and his fatal flaw - all at the same time.
