OT: Keep it real...should Boeheim retire?

[ElmCity40th]

No bs. But I grew up with Calhoun, Carneseca, Thompson,etc all of which are long gone. I have to admit the mixed feelings I have watching the old booger picking whiner go out. This last game vs. Iowa was a horrible watch and they have no one remotely athletic or entertaining

 

[Jaker]

Nope, he should coach there until they wheel him out in a chair and have an assistant change his depends.

 

[alexd]

Eh....let him stay forever. It's entertaining to watch what's happening to that program.

 

[MTHusky]

He hasn't??

 

[Deepster]

Honestly? His game has NO place in transitioning players to the NBA. It's all passed him by. Every year he stays is more for his own ego and less for the players that commit to going there. He's basically Pete Carril.

I get this. The slow plunge in to senility has been magical on the recruiting trail and I’m the post-game interviews. I never want to run out of moments like Boeheim literally falling asleep in that random gym.

...but in a basketball sense, dude has got to go. Hell, retire right now while Cuse is low. Let’s see who bites on this allegedly top-flight position. That’ll be plenty entertaining for us to watch.

I just watched the second half against Iowa although i didn’t pay close attention. All I saw from Syracuse was a silly zone, no energy, and no obvious talent to be concerned with.

Just have him stay on as some sort of figure head like Penn State did with Joe Pa

4 minutes into the second half and it wasn’t even competitive

It's interesting, I went over to their forum to get some perspective, and some of their posters suggest they have been falling towards this for the past 5 years. Am I wrong to think that their downward spiral correlates with their destruction of the Old Big East. Almost like they shot themselves in the foot.

 

[Jaker]

fleecing the program, more NCAA infractions than any other active coach. Caught magic in the bottle with Melo, who he let blaze and break all the rules.

 

[caw]

have to think he stays until Buddy graduates at least, if he can.

But but but final four in 2016 or whatever it was

no doubt, they were gifted a few tourney apperances because they were in the ACC, but the handwriting has been on the wall for awhile, not only for Cuse but obviously Pitt and ND

He was 2/10 for 7 points, 1 rebound, 3 assists, 2 TOs

you just hate to see it

So you say Boeheim coaches until he’s 78? That’s crazy to think about, dude is coaching kids who could be his grandkids (do they call Buddy “Unc”?)

 

[Jaker]

In love a good Boehiem presser

He’s not leaving willingly until Buddy graduates and you don’t fire a Jim Boeheim after one bad year.

But as for fleecing that program...no. They can’t pay him for everything he’s done for the school.

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Cuse is awful right now. I still give them a 70% chance to go dancing because of how the bar is for ACC teams. May even get an at large with a losing record.
They going to have to wheel JB out of there in a body bag.

 

[RF79]

Boeheim whether you like him or not(I don’t like him because of all the old big east battles with us and jus the plain rivalry) he’s earned the decision on when to hang it up. His name is on the floor of the Carrier Dome for Pete’s sake and he’s still coaching.

 

[Cuse Socks]

My dad, who is in his mid 60s, was a walk on at Syracuse back in the day and he told me Boeheim was an assistant coach when he was there

 

[TRest]

I remember John Cheney's final years were kind of rough, this reminds me of that. He has too much juice to dogtrack him now, but it's time.

 

[Hoophound]

I won’t be at all surprised if he manages a respectful season in the end. He’s a great coach. Not what he once was, but still good enough to turn things around quite a bit.

 

[MDHuskFan]

I want Hughes as a grad transfer after the season. Regardless of need, just so we can take the last D1 player from their team.

Completely agree. Also if you're a big time recruit why would you go play for a guy who throws his own kids under the bus? I was never a big fan but that made me lose even more respect for booger boy.

 

[UCPharma11]

Legend states that Boeheim has been known to snooZzze through the Super Bowl every year, that and the half time of every Cuse game. They just aren’t that exciting anymore.
