Coach Search Options after Autry

[Briancuse]

Because her position this past year was basically preparing her to take over eventually.

She was fired at pitt for a reason. Are we really going to hire someone who pitt didn't even want?

 

[IthacaMatt]

The West Point guy just signed an extension the other day I believe, so he’s out of the running unfortunately.

That sucks. Honestly, what coach is going to want to get a job before he knows who he boss is?

 

[Bulldog04]

How? She was fired at pitt for not raising nil money lol. How is she even in the running?

She has the support of one major player unfortunately. The army guy taking that extension hurt but think it’ll be alright

Does this major player realize she was fired by pitt?

Yeah but ladies stick together

Chancellor and AD will be announced before the coach is announced IMHO. It’s all fluid but I believe decisions have been made that will eventually be announced publicly soon. It’s going to be a fast and furious next month on the hill lol.

What a freaking debacle.

 

[phsyra]

What if we bring in Hop and Autry stays on as assistant coach. This way nobody gets their feelings hurt.

 

[djorange1989]

Lyke and Hopkins would be just great

 

[TommyA13]

Also, I would be very surprised if it’s not Lykes. Not ideal but that’s what I keep hearing.

If we hire Lykes as AD and Hop as HC I’m done being a Syracuse fan

 

[Cusefan0307]

I thought we were past the possible Lyke debacle.

 

[kingtidge]

I may have some leftover nachos to make you feel better

Bring back #BULLDONG

 

[Cusean]

Wasn’t Dino really good at winning in the mid majors???

Look up the reigning National Championship-winning coach. See how many NCAA tournament appearances and wins he had in his tenure before Florida.

Alright as in we won’t hire Lyke?

 

[Cuse1055]

Some of you need to go back to yesterday and reread the part of this thread where it’s clarified that Hodgson is still far away #1 with Hop a distant second. I’m not worried at all, everything will work out and be alright.

Nothing you said makes Hop a proven loser.
I’m old, dumb, and slow. All the big brains like JW and Lally and others will figure this out. But if Hop is selected, which it sounds like he is a serious candidate based on the financial pipeline he brings, then it won’t be the end of the world. If anything, hiring the young mid major coach with 1 big donor sugar daddy seems like the riskier higher long term and vulnerable to changing winds and attitudes. But what do I know. Like I said, I’m old dumb and slow .

Does the 70-84 part not make him a proven loser . Probably worse than what Red would end up with if given that type of leash. I get staying optimistic no matter the hire but mannn.

Griffin as GM?

Maybe we can get Nancy back at chancellor.

Ya an ad who got fired for not raising nil money, and staying in the boeheim family for a guy who hasn't been a hc in years. What can go wrong.

I second this statement. Hop working hard, but I still think BH the guy

At this point I’d rather have Hop as HC and a different AD than BH as HC and Lykes as AD, that’s how bad of a hire I think she’d be

 

[sufan59]

Yeah but ladies stick together

Well it would be ladies in leadership sticking together in this case because it would be a slap in the face to those involved in women’s basketball.

And of course Syracuse being Syracuse has definitely pushed me (and a lot of you guys and other fans) to certain limits. However if this scenario happens this would push me past my limits

 

[Cuse2023]

I have yet to come across somebody in the industry that has a worse reputation than Heather Lyke. When you mention her name to people, they legitimately laugh. The amount of horrendous stories that I have heard about this lady is ridiculous.

Again, a serious administration does not make that hire.
