Coach Search Options after Autry

Just checked the box score and looks like BH is going to get a road win against Rice. Final score 75-56

Why is this win of importance you ask?

---I had this stat ready for the board for fun, but not that it matters now, but with this win tonight, the South Florida Bulls reach 20 wins for the 7th time in school history. Correct in their 55 year history, they have only had 20 wins, 6 other times, and BH got them to that mark in YR 1.

BH goin' all Elle Woods on SF.

Can anyone offer insight into why Wildhack is stepping aside at the exact moment we need his leadership so badly? Is it just simply a personal decision as he’s said? Or was he pushed out or had enough or something else? I wish he was staying on another year or two to fix basketball.

Because of all the uncertainty. He gets out "clean", before things get much worse than they already are.

Thank heavens that Hodgson actually wants the job enough that he’s actually entertaining this poop show. That’s kind of amazing in itself. A lot of candidates might run screaming from this.

We'll see if he's still on board soon... this sheetshow may get him to "I'm out" status fairly quickly...

The way it's trending sounds like the end of SU sports, and the continued decline of SU academics.

The Acedemics arnt getting better until everyone realizes USNews are narrative pushing hacks.

We could become Ivy Level over night, but because we lack a med school and aren't artificially selective, we won't move up.
 
Also, it's honestly a miracle SU has stayed this relevant Athletically for as long as they have.
100 years ago College athletics was dominated by Private Liberal Arts Schools like Syracuse, we are the last ones from that group in high level Athletics.
 
Incredible theater. I truly think the decisions made in the next two months will have an enormous impact on the long-term future of the entire Athletic Department and sport situation at Cuse. And we're actually entertaining a retread bball HC that has about the same winning percentage that Mike Young has at Virginia Tech... not excited yet? Can I interest you in a AD hire that ran a peer athletic program into the ground in the recent past and is widely held as a terrible hire by any outside eye?! STILL NOT EXCITED?! How about me as Chancellor?!

I wanted to catch up on this thread before commenting, but at this rate that'd be after the next Orange and White game...

The thought of Hopkins learning something in the NBA is intriguing, but I think Cuse would have to be crazy to roll those dice. I'm not saying that I'd be done with Cuse BB if Hopkins gets it, but it'd certainly be a rough off season+, to say the least. If we the bed on everybody else, I could see giving him.a 2 year contract or something to kick the can down the road until some more targets open up again, but I know that'll never happen.

As far as Melo wants "his friend" to coach his son, I think it's more likely that he's trying to relive his NCAA glory days (especially since he wanted more years in college) and give his son the exact same experience that he had. But he needs to realize that Hopkins providing that is a looong shot.

All that said, I'd be super happy if Hopkins ends up at BC. Career suicide and all that, but Hopkin's career is already a zombie and it'd be fun to see him coach semi regularly.

Sorry need to edit -- Mike Young widely held as John Wooden 2.0 has a higher winning percentage total AND in conference play than Hopkins does... Mike Young.

I’d be happy with Haynie as chancellor, but you absolutely cannot have Lyke as AD and Hop as HC

This is true, Hop as HC is something I'm willing to explore even if dont like it, Lyke means that we arnt getting in by 2030(we probably arnt no matter who it is at AD,.but that's neither here nor there) and that's not something I want to think about.

Look at BYU. They probably have one of the most expensive rosters in the country this season, and they’ve been top 25 good but not top 10 good. And the top end money is unsustainable in the long rurun.

Unless you're the mormon church, apparently 🤣
 
I made it to the end of the thread!! Whew. Now I'm gonna go binge all four seasons of Ozark


I, too, wonder why the "compromise" Jake floated in his big post that was like 15 pages back now, couldn't be the other way around, with BH as coach, and someone other than HL as AD

Still read every post!😂

Man, there is SO MUCH to process, engaging in the next great American novel in real time is fascinating. I have a growing, genuine dread that the school I love may actually destroy itself with these decisions. If Hopkins is Coach, even with unlimited resources, we still have an automatic cap/low ceiling. We will not compete for championships because of it, it just can’t be.
Hodgson at least injects hope, energy, modern tactics & what COULD BE. It feels as if he was was properly resourced we might just be back in the conversation. Why not jump on that?!

Hiring Lyke is simultaneously infuriating & mind-numbing… especially for the reasons listed. NO!

In the meantime, why not have:

Haynie - Chancellor
Hopkins - AD
Hodgson - Coach

THAT’S a compromise I’d get behind over Lyke & Hopkins version

It would also seem to have us at 60 Million in NIL lined up😉😂
