Syracuse cans Jim Boeheim

I think this will help recruiting for them unfortunately. Autry will seem like a breath of fresh air to recruits compared to cranky-pants.
And that will help the billionaire up there finally convince kids to take his million dollar bills.

 

[Fishy]

Wasn't Shaka lined up?

Unofficially…

 

[UConntLose]

Epic burn.

 

[prankster]

Epic burn.

"...in a hurry to get back home..."

Epic!

 

[caw]

Epic burn.

It must suck to be compared to MSG by all the old BE teams. In this case though, love it by Greensboro.

 

[The Yakk]

“Dad! I got into Syracuse!”
“Congratulations son, you are dead to me now”

Seriously, talk him out of that school. You will be throwing your money away.

If he has to live in that region, he will get a much better education for a third of the price at one of the SUNY's. Buffalo and Binghamton are great schools. My son graduated from Oneonta--maybe one level down from those--but he loved it and is doing great now. I paid full out-of-state tuition and it was quite reasonable.

Can't understand why anyone would pay crazy private school tuition for an inferior education.

 

[CaptainRon]

Can you put him on tv and risk having him pick his nose in front of a national audience?

Coach K was all about having his ego catered to on the way out. Williams announcing after the season was respectable.

Agreed, couldn’t watch the media kneel to him. K will forever be remembered for being buried by his arch rival on his home court in his last game. He was then dug up and buried again by them in the final four. As far as I’m concerned, that rivalry ended with those last two games

The only reason to consider that is if he is specifically interested in a communications degree, if not then yeah you are right on.

 

[The Yakk]

Should be in Burns-Garfield

Should by in Franklin County Supermax for vehicular homicide.

He would feel right at home in an orange jumpsuit!

a dollar fifty in late chahges...

Jim's last game, he loses 77-74.

 

[ElGreco]

"There is no doubt in my mind that without Jim Boeheim, Syracuse Basketball would not be the powerhouse program it is today," says Chancellor Kent Syverud."

So the bar for powerhouse is 17-15 up in Canada?

 

[ElGreco]

Jim's last game, he loses 77-74.

How fitting-a parting gift from Huskyland!

 

[Fishy]

My good buddy is a Syracuse grad, his former college roommate is very much tuned in to the program and he said that Jimmy B was “asked to step down”

Take that for what you will…

Well…he was told he was not going to return.

 

[Rocktheworld]

So, Boeheim gets canned and isn't really looking to coach again.

Please, please, please, pretty please let CBS or someone else bring him on for some interviews or analysis during NCAA tourney. He can go scorched earth with zero concern of it affecting his future.

I just don’t even see what he brings to the table from an analytics standpoint. Coached zone to a fault for however long. Not to mention what a whiny loser he is, what kind of energy would a studio think he’s bringing?

 

[UCSouth]

Wouldn't be the first time.

 

[Jimdish255]

I can’t imagine Boe-whine announcing games or working in the studio. He seemed to hold most members of the media in contempt; joining their ranks would be like sending his grandkids to college at Georgetown or UConn.

Mamá not gonna want the 'ole crank around the house for long. He'll be heard from.

 

[Jimdish255]

Epic burn.

Yeah that doesn't sound great. Like maybe they just booked out with a thud.

 

[UCTitleTown]

And hired Adrian Autry...... lol..... absolutely awesome hire just as long as you aren't a Syracuse fan.

"Adrian Autry: A great pick "

 

[UCTitleTown]

Yea but we have 4 national titles to back it up.

Boeheim went to five Final Fours and only won one national title. Sub-par closer.

 

[Dove]

 

[temery]

Yup. Unbelievable end to this. He made them fire him!

Good for him. Better than being forced to retire and leave with your tail between your legs.

What were their seeds in the years they went to each FF?
