Sounds like he is out. Said he gave his retirement speech last week but no one figured it out.
such a fingerprick to the end.

JB is a media master. Make the AD be the bad guy. Brilliant.the AD has 3 options:
1) Be the bad guy and be hated by your prime boosters..until you get fired in a year
2) Honor JB's contact and exteend it to a lifetime cushy Advisory role where his shadow will loom heavily over the poor bastard who replaces him
3) Asking him to coach again....( the best option)
Prime Jimmy on display today.
Hes gotta play it out. They owe himThe between games CBB guys on ESPN right now are saying Boeheim has one more year left on his contract. They said that more than once.
the honorable thing would be to honor the contractGreat news if true.

I have to believe the phone lines have been burning up at the AD’s office.Jeez thought they might let the old man save some face and wait a few days but nope, straight fired his ass.
A-Dub, is that you?
OMG! The return of Okie Eric!
They won't. They have to hire an internal candidate.Boeheim has sabotaged the job for the next guy, and the roster is fleeing. There is not even going to be anyone to talk into staying.
There may be 10+ P6 job openings this year. Why would a hot young coach go to Syracuse with all this noise?
Well that didn't take very long.
Syracuse fans would kill for another Ollie situation. They could then say Boeheim's successor had as many championships in 2 years as Boeheim had in 47.![]()

Very interesting exchange just now from the Syracuse AD and a random reporter:
Syracuse AD: “Yeah, we can't actually find a record of him being a current employee here. We looked into it more deeply and found that apparently what happened is that he was laid off five years ago and no one ever told him, but through some kind of glitch in the payroll department, he still gets a paycheck. So we just went ahead and fixed the glitch.”
Random Reporter: “So um, Boeheim has been let go?”
Syracuse AD: “Well just a second there, professor. We uh, we fixed the glitch. So he won't be receiving a paycheck anymore, so it will just work itself out naturally. We always like to avoid confrontation, whenever possible. Problem solved from our end.”
If anybody read the response that said "but wouldn't you take a national championship before tanking"? That was me!![]()

Someone on UConn Twitter has to make one of these up with UConn colors in a little husky in the corner. Just say that - Thank you Coach Boeheim.
