Interesting Boeheim interview. Worth a read.

I think you could add being a no-show at university events (if his apparently unexpected absence at the football kick-off banquet was what it appeared on the surface)

This is the type of thing that seems most logical in that if he were directed to be at certain events and did not attend, was warned and continued to ignore any number of directives this could be an issue. Over the years at many jobs my supervisors who were salaried dreaded getting a new boss because they were not sure what things the new boss would require of them. There are always a variety of leadership styles and requirements change with the new boss. I'd bet that HL and Barnes are worlds apart on their approach.

You have absolutely no clue how "for cause" works. He could have gone 0-33 in 2016-2017 and 2017-2018 and they wouldn't have a case "for cause."

No I know you’re just not understanding.

Some fair points but of courses missing some important layers re the Jamie situation and Stallings.

The buyout thing is what it is. Instead of having to make up a reason, we should just be able to say he failed so miserably that he had to go. We aren’t talking about 18-14 here or something

I love all of it. And I think it’s probably more a case of an old coach who has nothing left to prove and no need to mince words speaking his mind than it is just spouting the company line for the coaching fraternity. Good for him.

I suspext it will be a very long time before Syracuse is mentioned as one of the nation’s top programs after Jimmy hangs up the clipboard.
