Imagine this program with a fresh, young, new coach and the zone mentality a thing of the past. The beautiful new updated Dome, the Carmelo center, facilities. The sky's the limit right? I think so.
However, here we are in soon-to-be 2022 in Buddy's last year with no end in sight (the prevailing sentiment was that retirement would be when Buddy graduates). Oh hell no. Were we nuts to think such a thing would happen 🤔? Yes we were. There is no end in sight. Precious years of being competitive and tourney-worthy are guaranteed not to happen under these conditions.
Amirite? A couple years ago we all thought this was the final year of this sh** show right? Well here we are fellas. We were all wrong. This continues on indefinitely. Somebody punch me in the face and wake me up.

Somebody punch me in the face and wake me up. People are simply afraid of change and/or something new. I agree the sky is the limit. The status quo the past 7-8 years HAS been Bubble. The ceiling is maybe a team that if the stars align right win a game or two in the Tourney. I don’t want to potentially continue the status quo with the current guys on the bench. No reason also that the new guy can’t keep us around this same Bubble state. Offer Oats what he needs. Interview Jay Wright to do your due diligence. Reach out to Billy Donovan. Hell, get Pitino in here as a short stop-gap. You get athletes in here and get up and down the court again playing above the rim. If you are going to play perimeter small ball do it the way Oats and Wright do. Get a bunch of athletic bulldogs and play basically positionless ball. You know…modern basketball. Dictate tempo. Don’t sit back in a damn Zone with a mid-major roster lol.

I refuse to believe this isn’t the end. It would just make zero sense. It’s time. It’s beyond time, but ok fine, his kid was here so it got extended by a few years.
But come March ‘22….that’s it.

It better be the last season for JB. Time to move on. We got the facilities, the Dome, the history, and a great conference. Lots to entice a new Head Coach. I hope like heck it isn’t Gmac. Love the player, but don’t want him coaching.

I was just texting w some buddies and they also brought up the possibility that they'll hire within. When or if that happens I will throw myself down a flight of stairs. The only reason they would do that is to save money. Boeheim makes like $2.7 million per year w bonuses. There is no reason they can't bring in a top gun hire from elsewhere w that kind of loot. They better do that.

They better do that. That would be asinine if they hire from the current staff. Let them prove themselves elsewhere first…a Siena or Bingo. We aren’t a Duke or even a UNC brand. Duke brand is incredibly strong. We don’t have a Tatum or Zion who have publicly endorsed Scheyer. LOL at GMac trying to haul in players on his own.

Yea imagine Gmac as the lead man here with zero head coaching experience 🤣. Syracuse hiring a zero experience head coach like him or even Autry would be like Wegmans hiring their produce shift manager to run the company. Give me a break if they hire within. I will be totally blown away if they do. It will be like Wildhack has been indoctrinated to "the syracuse way". Save save save money hire cheap!

I don’t care how much he’s defended but Gmac cannot recruit for shit. I’ve seen the players he’s secured and his success rate in general is garbage let alone of the guys he does bring in who aren’t very good. If anyone should get the job inside it’s Autry and even over Gmac I’d give it to Griffin, that said, we need to hire from the outside and clear out everyone. If Gmac is the head coach I’m not sure how much more I can take of this program.

I don't want to quote your post because it makes these posts too long. I agree on all your points. I was even thinking with Hop not working out at UW does Hack reach out to him, and that would be horrible because it's the zone crap all over again. Hop does mix it up but I don't care, I've had enough of this zone defense garbage. Enough!

I’m desperate enough to warm up to the idea of Pitino…..

If Hop gets fired he’s the new first assistant and works underPitino until Rick retires and he can take over. Will give him time to get the recruiting back, learn under another system, and gives our system continuity.

I’m fine with Pitino. Ideally a nice stop-gap. Dude would invigorate the Dome and we would play an exciting style. He’d get ballers to SU immediately.
