Syracuse’s former floor general who knows the Orange DNA
Autry’s edge was always feel and toughness: as Syracuse’s former starting point guard, he ranked fifth in program history with 631 assists and sixth with 217 steals, then carried that same veteran edge into the head job. In his 2025-26 season as Syracuse’s coach, the Orange finished 15-17 and 6-12 in ACC play, and critics noted the team’s lack of traction in the post-Boeheim era. If you value a coach with deep Syracuse roots, defensive grit, and old-school credibility, he’s a fit; if you need instant turnaround fireworks, the résumé was more steady than sparkly.
