When the sanctions were gaveled down on us by the NCAA, after his hiring in July 2016, John Wildhack had the reason and the free pass needed to move on from JB without having the permanent stigma/blame of being the AD who forced him out. A retirement date was set for JB and it looked like we were moving in a much needed new direction. Instead, in my opinion he and Syverud allowed JB to manipulate the situation and the university to suit his own personal agenda and they rewarded him with a new contract in 2018 (lol). Now as fans of the program we sit here several years later in a worse position.
With this staff's inability to recruit at a necessary clip to compete at a high level in the ACC, we will continue to see the program sink to even lower levels than these now-normal 13+ loss seasons. Unimaginative offenses where our hopes rest on iso ball and a gimmick defense that no elite recruit wants any part of.
Bottom line is Darryl Gross took the fall for Boeheim by being forced out, and John Wildhack had the ticket and the free pass to allow us to move on from Boeheim. As fate would have it however, he and Syverud fkd us. There was a conspiracy to protect Boeheim and throw Gross under the bus. Because of what these guys did, we are in this position today with a fledgling basketball program that should be competing with the likes of Duke, Louisville etc..

People can say all they want about Gross, but he did a far better job than Wildhack.

Grob at the time seemed like a solid hire, not great, but being successful also means knowing when to cut your losses and make a change, which Gross did with success. I really don’t know what Hack is doing other than collecting a paycheck.

Hiring a member from the staff who was there during the disgusting Q tenure should have Wildhack ousted immediately, I’m baffled this isn’t huge news. Have a feeling if it was a mens sport it would’ve been treated a lot differently and would’ve been national news.

Gross really screwed football. If he couldve figured that out would of been better. Great on Olympic sports. He cared more about us playing in MetLife vs USC or death Valley vs LSU then scheduling to build momentum and get to Bowls. And of course Greg.
Also Wildhack did not replace Gross. Mark Coyle did. I do not recall if he was the AD at the time though or one had not been hired and it was Kents call.
