Autry out at Syracuse

I would rather you be right about this than wrong.

*corrected, thanks.

They’ve completely cleaned out. Entire staff is gone + GM Alex Kline.

Good ol Dookie V advocating for Bobby Hurley to get the job on twitter. Would be hilarious to watch the complete meltdown on their board.

Sources: Syracuse is targeting Toledo’s Bryan Blair as the school’s new athletic director, with a deal expected in the near future. Blair has been the AD at Toledo since 2022 and has previous stops at Washington State (Deputy AD/COO), Rice and South Carolina.

They are trying to be more like us.

Iron Sheik will NOT be happy with the hiring of that jabroni!

I agree and disagree. If you are Murray or Young, you probably won't do any better than Cuse. They've struggled and everything else, but that's a team that has a major history. Why go and win at a mid-major or something so that you can get a bottom-feeder job at one of the power conferences and get fired in three years? Syracuse basketball still carries some weight, and I think it would be an easier rebuild there than going to a Rutgers-type school.

The problems at Syracuse are not just related to coaching basketball. They need to revamp the whole program, everything from NIL to analytics. Here's a fun fact: How many times has Syracuse played in MSG in the past 8 years? Once! How does the AD at Syracuse let that happen? They should be playing a game at MSG every year.

If I were Murray or Young, I would target a school like VCU, George Mason, USF for my first head coaching job. I would think Providence is easier to turn around than Syracuse and the program is in decent shape, but Providence needs a better game coach.

What bigger name programs are out there that need a coach? How many programs are a bigger name than Syracuse in all of college basketball?

Bigger name to fans who've been around a long time, but anyone under 30 probably has no idea they once were a power in the best basketball conference during the 80's to the breakup.
