Coach Search Options after Autry

I think we should give Griffin a shot. He has extensive experience with BA this summer.

He had even more talent to BA standards and lost to a team made up of former D3 players

In kind of hoping someone with some Syracuse ties

I dont think Syracuse lands Skinn or Schertz. Hope im wrong though

Schertz isn’t coming to Syracuse. I think we still have a good shot at Skinn because it doesn’t look like gtown is opening this year.

Best case scenario for us is we dish out the money to a smaller school coach who’s on the rise.

There’s plenty out there.

A few of you have posted names that would put Syracuse basketball back in the tournament IMO.

I want Head. You can have Marty.

I mean obviously but Syracuse has good connections to the DMV and it seems like a good fit

Not that it matters because I have no say, but after quickly researching some of these names you guys have tossed out, I'm a Shertz guy for now. Key being he's won everyplace he's been.

Schertz is killing it at SLU this year but I’ve had my eye on him since last season. He was only 19-15 at St. Louis in year 1, but the first year is always an adjustment, and they were at least competitive right away. And he had proven before he was able to quickly remake Indiana State, who had been terrible forever. Before that, he had built Lincoln Memorial into one of the best programs at the D2 level, with multiple final four and title game appearances under his belt. That would’ve been the ideal time to pounce—before SLU got really good and more suitors could potentially materialize. I still think we can get him, because there will likely be less top teams looking for new head coaches this season. But Wildhack is gonna have to do a great sales job.

The sales pitch will be key: The amount of NIL money Syracuse can potentially raise with a successful program, the potential big dog donors who may be sitting on the sidelines with their $$ waiting for a coaching change, the rabid and hungry fanbase across all of upstate New York and nationally, the outsized revenue potential with the Dome and the new renovations, the facilities and planned improvements, the fertile Northeast corridor and mid-Atlantic recruiting grounds to find players (both high school kids and transfers who want to stay closer to home). Get Tirico, Melo and other big-dog stakeholders to talk to him and help sell the program’s potential.

Schertz, Skinn, Hodgson, Murray.
