Rutgers Steve Pikiell

[hoopsupstate]

Very underrated coach. He’s done a great job at Rutgers. He’s recruiting quite well and his teams play very hard. They really have an offensive plan and they play good defense. He’s not afraid to mix things up on defense either. He would be someone SU should be interested in when JB retires.

Why would he leave for Syracuse. I'm sure Rutgers can pay the same. Plus Rutgers is a better program now

No it isn’t a better program. They’ve accomplished absolutely nothing. They’re mediocre just like us.

And they play in a crappy little gym at a school nobody likes or cares about.

I used to play pickup hoops with his director of basketball ops. Should I see if there’s any interest?

I just checked his salary. He just received a new four year extension with a whopping $15 million dollar buyout. He’s making three million this year, but will reach $4 million by 2027. He signed through 2029. The buyout drops $2 million each year. He’s going nowhere.

Good idea. He’s an excellent coach. He lives in my town and my son is best friends with his daughter. If he becomes coach I become a board insider!

Cuse!

The guy I know, Mike Rankin, is a quality guy. Glad he was able to move up from here.

He’s gonna come to Syracuse as an assistant after we poach Billy Donovan from Chicago.

Probably.

 

[Cuse'91]

Isn't he a UConn alum? Could very well be successor to train-wreck Hurley.

How many of those players saying Cuse is there DREAM school are at Syracuse now?

 

[Trueblue25]

This is a top 15 job and we can do better

 

[Giants1973]

Just stop.

Sarcasm people. Relax

 

[CuseFaninVT]

Yes

And I have faith in ADJW here

Just talked to my kid. I asked him if he thought SU was a top 15 job. Now, he’s much more invested in the NBA, but he’s 19, a college sophomore, and plays basketball (well) many times a week.

His exact quote was that if he wasn’t the son of an SU fan, “he probably wouldn’t know who Syracuse is.”

As sarcastic as this is, Rutgers does probably pay the same as we would. No?
