Red is a good guy and a Syracuse legend but man he has trouble communicating to the media which probably means he has trouble communicating to his team.
Same excuses he used last year. It’s the same thing over and over we need a Coach. We need heart. I’ve been a fan since the Louie - Bouie era. Don’t get me wrong I like Adrian but I don’t see us even being competitive please prove me wrong.
Carlos playing 37 minutes, even WITH JJ's injury, is straight up coaching malpractice. He is just not an ACC caliber point guard. No idea what Red or the other coaches saw to think they could go into this season with him as our only true option at PG. If there's no one else that can bring the ball up, THAT'S ON YOU RED. You built the damn roster. And JJ one of the best guards in the country? He's an absolute turnstile on defense. I love him as a player and he's tremendous on offense, but calling him one of the best guards in the country when he has absolutely attrocious defensive metrics is just more proof Autry doesn't get it. I want Red to succeed, but so far his coaching decisions, portal talent evaluation, rotations, and refusal to alter course even amidst a blowout are only proving that he is in way over his head. This season is going to be historically bad for SU. I'm talking 10 wins might be the ceiling for this group.
Freeman is ready nor does he have the physical strength, Carlos is bad all the way around, Bell lacks physical presents, Moose has a really good upside, Lamkin good presents inside lack scoring threats badly. Could be a very long year for the Orange.
In order to right the ship, you first have to HAVE a ship. We haven’t been good in years so this is no surprise. Jim left the program unable to make the NIT & this team’s lack of the basics ( like boxing-out, & getting back on defense) is glaring & painful to watch.
Huge Syracuse Basketball fan for all 20 years of my life. I seen Syracuse go undefeated, get to the 2016 Final 4, many upsets, buzzer beaters, the whole yard. Coach Red, who I thought would bring Syracuse into a new era.. man, that 20-12 season I felt we got screwed over when I thought at the time we weren’t allowed in the NIT, but.. what do my eyes deceive me? COACH RED DENIES THEIR GUYS A NIT TOURNAMENT CHANCE! Like what fuck?? Are you serious? Now this season looks like we won’t even be above .500 and potentially have a losing season. Crazy part is, Brent Axe isn’t shit talking Autry for some reason but wants to try his luck on Fran. He needs to turn this ship around and start winning against enough D2 and a few D1 teams if we want a chance to just barely get in the tournament. If that doesn’t happen, burger flipping will be the next job he picks up Edit: Bozos under me don’t understand basketball. Lmao
He didn’t deny them. He dismissed Benny and Quadir and Judah basically quit with 10 games left and immediately announced they were going into the portal. Maliq was right behind. They didn’t have enough scholarship players to roster a team.
We were 170+ in the NET before this game. The ACC is a dumpster fire this year. Unless we basically run the table, there is zero chance we are making ANY postseason tournament. Also, please don't lie about Red denying them the NIT. If you don't know what happened, don't make sh*t up. Red asked the players if they wanted to play, they said no. End of story.
If I hear we have to continue to work hard at getting better one more time. You can practice till the cows come home with no success if you practice incorrectly like my golf swing. What in the last twenty years points to SU practice improving offense movement and effectiveness, defense, and rebounding vs first 20 years in Big East.
Naw autry naw naw naw! Idc if he’s the only ball handler he needs to work on his defense in a big way. There’s no way this guy should be starting at that lvl of defense no matter what you think he is
When the football team loses Fran takes accountability and puts it on himself. Red, on the other hand, just blathers out cliches and meaningless BS. He never takes accountability.
Ya roll the sleeves up lol. autry come on man!!! You’re expecting me to believe that you all will bounce back while you start Carlos for 37 minutes! Naw man this is an absolute joke!!! Why are you playing him just try Kyle C for like 20 minutes there’s no way he can’t do as much if not more than damn Carlos
Red is a good coach. There is a reason why the #6 high school player in the country decided to come to Cuse. We have an entirely new team. It’s gonna take time. These other schools we’ve lost to are good teams!! The other schools treated the games against us like it was their biggest game of the year. Consistently bashing coach and the program only makes you look dumb. Why can’t we ever be optimistic? Even without JJ this team still can make the tournament.
iT wAs ThEiR sUpErBoWl!!!1!! Sorry, but that's the fucking dumbest sentiment ever. We should never, ever be in rockfights with Lemoyne or Youngstown State. With the talent comparative to those schools (we have 3 5*s on the roster ffs), we should obliterate them every year. And stop trolling about making the tourney. We'll be lucky to have a winning record this year. There's a difference between being an orange homer optimist and a realist.
JJ loss a killer. But needs to use the teaming non games to develop the 3 frosh, get Macleod more minutes with 44 unable to run and perfect the bench usage.
We needed Pitino...Autry just isn't a major conference HC.
Another lost year.

Take Carlos Tf Out !!! You going to turn a bad situation into a an embarrassment

I'm not giving them 10 wins!!

What did you promise to get carlos to come to syracuse guess it's minutes his minutes should be zero bad coaching decision
Wtf red
LACK OF HEART AND LACK OF DART

Hmm….lots of cliches , not a lot of construct
That’s all Red’s got. He’s got no answers.
Does Syracuse basketball have a coach?
No he’s not a head coach Good guy bad coach
Not since Boeheim was around the 50 year old mark.
Both stayed too long .. program has been stagnet for years.. Huggie Bear is available ..

Red, they aren't going to be tougher.. Cuse future ? ACC ?
You'd better get this fixed quick Red. The fanbase is tuning out.
Naw autry naw naw naw! Idc if he’s the only ball handler he needs to work on his defense in a big way. There’s no way this guy should be starting at that lvl of defense no matter what you think he is
Get a new coach! Stop throwing for 3’s cuz they aren’t going in, practice free throws, learn to play like a team and play more than 7 guys. Geez.
fire him
Funny. What would Cuffe stats look like if he played 37 minutes.
When the football team loses Fran takes accountability and puts it on himself.
Red, on the other hand, just blathers out cliches and meaningless BS. He never takes accountability.

This may be the worst Syracuse bball team I've ever had the displeasure of watching
Don't watch.
No maybe about it. Been watching for 40 years, never seen a team this bad. I thought the Buddy/Jimmy/Joe team was the worst I'd ever see. I was wrong.
JJ loss a killer. But needs to use the teaming non games to develop the 3 frosh, get Macleod more minutes with 44 unable to run and perfect the bench usage.
