Slack-ing off: Is Syracuse men’s basketball a top-tier coaching job?

The TNIAAM crew is nearly always talking the latest Syracuse Orange sports happenings in the staff’s Slack room, and Monday was no different. After James addressed questions around who succeeds Jim Boeheim as SU’s head coach one day, it got us all thinking about how good the job is or isn’t without his name attached to it any longer.

The future without Boeheim is arguably the biggest fear of all Syracuse fans, and it’s something we had to briefly reckon with for nine games back in 2015-16. It didn’t go well, and the only reason that fact is even mildly forgotten at this point is because that Orange squad wound up in the Final Four anyway.
