Head coach since 1976.I didn’t realize he was close to 79 years old, thought 73 or 74.
How so?Already named a new coach - believe it was one of his assistants.
He was such a miserable @ss the last year or so. Good riddance.
How was he miserable?How so?
Lack of B1G success.... throwing stones at another conference is a douche moveHow so?
Did he throw stones at other conferences? He was throwing them within his own league by going after Wake.Lack of B1G success.... throwing stones at another conference is a douche move
Just find it funny that we have multiple HOF coaches and he makes douchebag comments towards our conference. I agree that he's a miserable person and should have retired years agoDid he throw stones at other conferences? He was throwing them within his own league by going after Wake.
Dude should have retired 3 years ago but his ego was too big. He had to be the cool guy coaching all his sons at once.
He was even an ass at the presser today. Basically toyed with the reporter asking him a simple question about whether he was done coaching. Kept passing the buck to the school. Then basically 20 minutes later it was announced that he was not coming back. Either he and school were completely at odds, or he's an ass. Betting on the latter.How was he miserable?
Go look up all his post game interviews. He was an ass at every chance he could be to reporters. He also said that Wake Forest bought their team while ignoring his last recruit committed after some big booster paid for the kid to come to Syracuse.

Didn’t see the comments he made about the B1G. Who did he call out?Just find it funny that we have multiple HOF coaches and he makes douchebag comments towards our conference. I agree that he's a miserable person and should have retired years ago
More like he was fired - I believe he had one year left on his contract. Guy was miserable and his team was awful this year.How was he miserable?

I was hoping they’d keep him another couple of years so he could return Syracuse to where it was before he arrived.More like he was fired - I believe he had one year left on his contract. Guy was miserable and his team was awful this year.

Literally the only game I ever rooted for Cuse.Have despised the guy since ‘87 when he choked away the title game to the Loosiers - despite having 3 nba talents on his roster….
Me too. 8th grade, would have won my friend's dad's office pool if Syracuse had won.Literally the only game I ever rooted for Cuse.
Should have been UNLV in that title game.
in 2000 or 2001 there was a basketball skills weekend at Moravian College ( Bethlehem, Pa). There were H.S. coaches and 2 major college coaches ( Boeheim and Skip Prosser of Wake). It was night and day between the two of them personality wise. Boeheim didn't field many ?'s and seemed like he didn't want to be there whereas Prosser was a really nice and knowlegable guy.Me too. 8th grade, would have won my friend's dad's office pool if Syracuse had won.
But, since he won a NC, he's a great coach... (TIC)Cheater
Agreed…Boeheim is one of the biggest turds in coaching. Not only a cheater, but a total ass hat on top of that. Reminds me of the Knight situation at IU. Let a coach become bigger than the school. He should have been let go years ago.
It comes across in his persona. He literally complained about wake forest. I'm not advocating for the b10 to take them in but if there's a school that isn't going out of its way to cheat...wake is it. Syracuse is not.Agreed…
My brother has worked college bball for tv for a number of years (production booth). Per his interactions with Boeheim multiple times - he’s a complete asshat. Bitter, condescending and full of himself. A miserable person to work with.
