Coach Search Options after Autry

[OrangeinNH]

Listened to this coaches show with Hodgson. Couple interesting points, they are high up nationally in successful challenges due to their commitment to video production to allow for all of their analytics.
He runs his team similar to a football operation with essentially an offensive coordinator with assistants and the same for defense.
Damion Collins committed to USF after two seasons each at UK and LSU because Hodgson had recruited him each time he was available and has lived up to word in coaching him this season.
These are some of the types of ties that we see with Fran, and the transfer portal makes this sooo valuable. Good recruiters may miss the first time on a target, but with reasonable NIL support, I think he would give us a chance to obtain the level of talent to be relevant again.

My vote is bill murrays kid

UConn is the model.

Ironic, since SUBB has been Groundhog’s day for a long time now

Im going on record now saying I really only want Kingz back and also Sadiq if he’s willing to work at it and fight for mins again.

Freeman may have the most talent but the inconsistency may make for a brutal start to a new era.

New Coaches call tho

I doubt Donnie’s coming back: he will declare and test the waters. Red’s coaching won’t be held against him. If he doesn’t get good reviews, he’ll go elsewhere.

Ok yeah sure. Mick Cronin is interested in the Syracuse job. Well sorry Mick, Steve thought you were a stooge because you had an attitude with a reporter asking dumb questions after a complete blowout.
Who cares about your 4x coach of the year awards. Who cares about your 16 tourney wins. Who cares about your 514-240(.682) career record.
You guys kill me with your moral superiority attitudes.

The search committee is doing a poor disservice to the entire Syracuse basketball community if they aren't considering the Mick Cronin's of the world. I've made the comment a few times that most successful coaches have an edge to them. We don't need a nice guy. We need a coach who is a proven winner.

We don’t know who they are targeting or who they have talked too. What we do know is that DU will never engage in a bidding war or pay the kind of money to get a Cronin, Pitino sr. Jay Wright etc. just not their M/O. Period, so leave the a list names alone. Not gonna happen!!! N

Who is that?

Spiderman's brother. Maybe we can get Zendaya to make a courtside appearance.

Mick is one of those coaches whose could fly when the players weren’t getting paid but now that they are he’s having a hard time.

Absolutely. I think Cronin is great. I’ve always been a fan of his. His Cincinnati teams were always tough as nails. He filled the paint with these big strong brutes who enforced the middle.
He just signed a big extension last year so unless he gets fired he probably isn’t going anywhere. But he is exactly the type of coach we need.

Interesting….

don’t give this bozo a second of attention that’s all he cares about. Buddy majored in Grifting.

Wonder if the Duke game gave Donnie a wake up call as to what talent at the next level looks like. He was outplayed throughout the game, as was our entire team. If I'm an NBA scout and saw that game, his potential dropped sadly. Hopefully, this was a wake up, and we see an aggressive Donnie going forward.

Unfortunately for Donnie he is really at about the end of his sophomores year. With this and last years injury he is just about completing his freshman year. That being said both years hampered development physically. No injuries I believe he would be much stronger, better wind etc. in addition skill development is also hampered by lake of time in the heat of battle. I believe he is a very talented play that just needs time with S&C and floor experience as well.
