Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cuse2023]

The most ironic part about the argument for Hop is if you know anything about Bryan Hodgson he is in large part known as an incredible fundraiser.

Bryan Hodgson has NIL that travels wherever he goes. I would bet a lot of money that he would raise more money than Hop. People that only hear things from the Syracuse bubble won’t agree but anybody that knows anything about Bryan Hodgson knows that NIL is the last thing that should be a concern with him.

It took me 3 and a half hours, and 2 joints to get caught up just from last night.

Oh boy I read that wrong at first, thought it took you 3.5 hours and 2 joints to get it up and I was surprised this thread would help with that.

I think the vast majority of people here view him as the preferred candidate.

I've never done an illegal drug in my life, but I am considering it now after reading up on this thread.

Yes, but I don’t think a lot of people here understand how good he is in the current landscape dealing with NIL specifically.

He will raise more money than Hopkins I’m very confident in that. So “what if” Hopkins can bring in all this money argument is a moot point.

They players we brought in this year were solid by the experts. I guess that credit may be given mostly to Kline now?

Add to this that Alex Kline could only recommend players; the ultimate selection was up to HCAA and staff as to who was offered!

Autry's teams have still averaged more ppg each year than any of Hopkins 7 teams did.

Pace helps that a bit, but neither ran a reliable offense.

Right off, it would depend on how much he can get the Lall's to contribute. I said this in a earlier post, I would hope that whoever gets the job could get everyone to come on board and help this team get to the finish line. But I have my doubts that the "losing" side will be that magnanimous.

There must be a number that Mike Hopkins is throwing around that is raising eyebrows. Because along with having been a long time Syracuse guy, that is his selling point.

Never ever put a down payment on worry. About just about anything. If something bad happens, you can always worry about it then. If it doesn't happen, you would have worried for nothing.

In fact, you can even say that worry is praying for bad things to happen.

Listen, the northeast is dealing with a blizzard and decades of being grumpy. Leave us alone, lol.

 

[RF2044]

But what leads us to believe he runs above average practices? His players haven't improved. There are times I still yell at the TV do you guys' practice?

Let me clarify, I don't think the practices are above average in any capacity, in accordance with the peter principle. Just that this is the main thing Red did before getting promoted to HC. He ran practices; that's what he did reasonably well for JB. He was also the good cop to JB's bad cop, with the players.

Those are the only things I would say that Red had in his tool kit. Certainly not deep technical knowledge of X's and O's on either side of the ball, or a feel for in-game management.

I'm hearing Bernie Fine will be getting an interview

 

[2B20Again]

Ditto.

Which is why all of the reported infighting / dysfunction we're hearing about vis a vis BoT members and donors is frightening.

We can't afford to screw this hire up. Allowing non-AD folks the ability to hijack the process to fulfill their own personal agendas is bad for the Syracuse basketball program, and bad for the fanbase.

Agree, believe the university does not care about the fan base. Only that they buy tix. Syracuse fan base is students, alum’s but mostly those that show up to games are blue collar workers and just locals in general. The make up of the crowds has changed in recent years, but a larger portion of the fans are fans of the team, local team.

I just heard there has to be an opening in order to hire a coach. Buy out too big. I don’t believe this, but just heard it. Any one else heard this????

He has that advantage for sure because Hodgson is obviously still a head coach with his eyes set on making the tournament. He can’t be openly rallying donors while his team is still alive.

But no doubt in my mind, Hodgson would move quickly once hired. He’s done it before. At both stops, Arkansas State and USF, his programs had vastly more resources than ever before.

 

[RedtheGOB]

I was trying to come up with one thing he does well as a Head coach today and couldn't come up with one. I hope someone else can help me and come up with one. Play calling? Substitutions, roster construction, anything?

I’m baffled at how he got this squad to play harder in Vegas than Houston and how we showed up more physical and prepared than Sampson had his guys. That’s about it. The spread was 14.5 for craps sake. That game should’ve been in the bag too.

Tennessee wasn’t really as impressive given that was prob their worst game but was solid a week later. Somehow he got the better of Barnes.

Then it has basically been regression after regression. I agree I’m just not sure what his skills are as a head coach and I’m not sure what anyone else would say except he’s a likable guy.

He'd be better than Hopkins

He has Lally backing him, that alone will bring phat NIL into the program

This sounds alot like what was said about FRAN that he had NIL money not connected to Syracuse initially.

 

[atlanticuse]

Exactly the wrong thinking. How about the donors that are backing Hopkins. Should they do the same?

DONOR FIIIIIIGHHHHHHHT !!!!

 

[EnviroSciGuy]

DONOR FIIIIIIGHHHHHHHT !!!!

We need the donors to coalesce for max competitiveness.

 

[Briancuse]

We can only have a head coach whose last name starts with H, I know that for sure ...

Jay hwright?

I know that was said but I'm really not sure that's the case. I've yet to track down these mysterious folks who followed Fran around.

 

[Bulldog04]

Gonzaga is also in Washington and they did pretty well during the same time. Hop owns that record.

They only have double digit losses twice since 1997. Wow lol
