Coach Search Options after Autry

[Briancuse]

Strange lol?

 

[phil77]

Oh, his last stand sailed weeks ago. A win today wouldn't save him. I guess winning the ACC tournament (LOL) might.

Key word is might. Not even sure that would do it at this point. That would be like Dino making a bowl at 6-6

 

[phil77]

What is strange about making a terrible basketball hire and having to fire him at the end of the season? It happens other places.

I think it carries a little more weight than a bottom of the barrel bowl game considering you likely need to go through UNC, Louisville/Virginia and then Duke

No. Us winning the ACC tournament would be miles ahead of going 6-6 in football. Let's talk sense. Don't worry about it though. Could anyone see this team winning two games in a row in the ACC tournament? Let along 4 or 5

I meant in general terms...

I would hope the powers that be would look past some strange one off in the ACCT tournament and do what still needs to be done because even if we somehow made a miraculous run in the ACCT it doesn't change the fact Red is a terrible coach.

Just like make a stupid bowl game was no reason to keep Dino

 

[Cuse99&01]

Coach options……I would take anyone other than Red right now

 

[Briancuse]

Cincy just won at Kansas, are we sure miller is out?

Oddly, I think that is a fair statement.

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

I think Oregon and OSU will be topping this list soon. Actually agree with LSU being so low; not sure if they are going to try and go all-out for bball like some of the other SEC schools have been.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Hmm I’ve heard we’re a terrible job and we might have to get a junior high coach.

 

[OrangeFoo]

Hey we are #1 on a list! woohoo

 

[dasher]

well, it isn't valued at what we all we would have thought seeing who is interested right now from what I hear. I'm surprised and sad about it.

OSU yes... Oregon maybe? I don't know what kid wants to sign up for school in Oregon only to spend all winter in the midwest? If Oregon was going to be a national power they would have been by now. Phil Knights money was always there in a much easier conference and they were never really a national threat under Altman other than two years of a f4 and elite 8

If Oregon wants to be serious about basketball they'll have their pick, if they don't have it already.

Was

What?

Was I not clear. Think say 12 years ago. Who would have wanted our job at that time. Now, the names I am hearing, it makes me shudder. And while the board is in love with BH, I think part of that is that he 1. isn't Red. And 2. gets his team to play hard. But 12 or 13 years ago, would a guy that hasn't one a game in the NCAA tournament be enough? I don't think so. And the other candidates, oh boy. I am actually glad the rest of the board isn't hearing the things I am. I said before, I would share them but it would be a neutron bomb to the board.

Ouch

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

What?

We're going to be fine. The brand has definitely been damaged from the farce of the last hire, though. Almost exactly as some posters predicted.

I have said this part out loud many of time and what scares me the most. And probably why I am fixated on BH at this point.

Thanks. The original message was confusing in how it was worded. I’ve heard some things as well and think we’ll be happy with who we get, even if it’s not the top name we would have gotten 10 years ago.

At this point it would be just taking current apathy and making it permanent vs temporary vs being any kind of bomb drop in my view. Honestly not surprising that we aren’t generating a ton of interest given the trends for both major sports.

To be fair, Hodgson is one of the hottest names in the country for all gigs, not just ours. And his interest in the position makes it all the more crucial for the AD to take advantage of this opportunity to get him, especially if the rest of the candidates are not up to snuff, as you mention.

It was probably worse even 3 years ago. We can’t lose out on Hodgson.
