Coach Search Options after Autry

[phil77]

Whoever is the coach will need all of our support more than ever. Seats filled to bring in more revenue.

I don't support anything I don't believe in. I dont just blindly give money to things just because. Still a fan sure.

Here is my take.

Whoever is the coach will need all of our support more than ever. Seats filled to bring in more revenue.

Don't make assumptions about what they will be able to accomplish.

I wanted Hodgson. But honestly I have a lot more to worry about in my every day life than the fact that he isn't coming...or is he? We really do not know how this new world of NIL will play out in the end. BUt most likely he is out of the running. I actually feel like it was an SU decision.

If it all stems from 2 factions of donors up against each other, than maybe the best thing for now was a compromise coach and to keep both parties in the donation game.

Maybe there was something in Hodgson's background that we didn't like We just don't know.

But what peee's me off more than anything is all the talk about no longer supporting the program.

It may take building it up all over again from the bottom. And the bottom may start with a coach you are less than thrilled about. But let's fill the seats get money for revenue sharing back in line, and let our new guru fundraising AD work on building relationships that will lead to substantial NIL money.

It all just might have been too soon to get those funds in line.

If it is Gerry, enjoy the nostalgia, and hope that he a pull the rabbit out of the hat.

I get it, but after having tickets for decades some are exhausted. I went to games the past couple years with maybe 3,000 people in the stands. If that’s not supporting the program I’m not sure what is. We had a great chance to correct things this year by picking the best candidate period. Having to have a compromise candidate because some rich people can’t get along is why the school can’t get out of its own way in the first place.

 

[tptcuse]

He has a nasty reputation as a cruel dude.

And his looks are scary!

How did you already get to the acceptance stage of grief?

 

[Jake]

Gmac was not the main target and I also doubt he currently is

Well if it’s not Gerry…..it’s gotta be Hop.

 

[jdubs30]

Well if it’s not Gerry…..it’s gotta be Hop.

Why not both?

I respect your opinion and message. But why do I want to support mediocrity and failure? The only way things will change is if people stop putting up with the notion that this is ok and can't be fixed.

People saw what rock bottom was with another JB assistant in Autry. Attendance is at an all-time low, and how will GMAC help with that?

With all that being said. I'm excited to see our WBB team in the tourney. That should be the team we support in the future because Syracuse University has clearly shown they dont care about basketball anymore.

 

[granthath9]

If it’s Mike Hopkins next year Syracuse might be in flames. I’ll be able to see them from Indiana

 

[chadvader]

We’re talking about the coach of a 16 seed!!! If Gmac didn’t play for us he wouldn’t even be considered!!!

Dont disagree here. But what if Gerry comes with NIL funding?

Oh goodness… he makes my posts seem legible

 

[35kcuse]

Hopkins feels imminent

 

[Cuse1055]

I was thinking that but was he not offered so we could save face in turning it down or do we truly like another candidate?

Great points. You can be angry and upset, but if you say you’re done supporting the program then good riddance.

I *heart* Hop as a human being.

But as the potential next Cuse HC?…

 

[sdhall01]

Gerry better be on a 1 yr contract with specific performance clauses. ,

Who are you kidding? It'll be a $10m buyout through year 10.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Do you have a guess as to who the current target is?

 

[TommyA13]

Gmac was not the main target and I also doubt he currently is

I thought it was always BH (main target)/Gmac. If that’s not the case then who is the main target now?

 

[Dinkyspond]

We're gonna hire someone.

I don't know who.

I don't know when.

Just wake me up when it's done.

[Bulldog04]

Well if it’s not Gerry…..it’s gotta be Hop.

It was early on. Everyone wanted to shoot me and say I was full of it. It flamed out when they honed in on Bh but man oh man I’m ready for the fireworks now lol

 

[2B20Again]

you know that how? i dont know if its true but someone told me today after 2 interviews, gmac took himself out of the running.

I heard the same thing. Gerry is very smart. Looks like it’s a mess. You would know Mitch better than I. Like I said before all my hooks have passed. I’m just waiting my turn. Prace

Not watching if it's hop.

The one playing the #1 overall seed as well.

 

[Dcuse]

I really don’t understand why Syracuse thinks Gmac is the guy. Let me make this clear, I love Gmac and everything he’s done for Syracuse. He’s also an amazing person. However, he had the best NIL in an awful league, almost all of his wins are Q4, and he can’t recruit here (this isn’t even a hypothetical, this was proven when he was

This is it, right? It's not about whether we like him as a person or whether he'll be a great coach someday. If we hire him because we can't get someone better, then it implies we have other structural problems in the program. If that's the case, then we're setting him up to fail.

I'll go so far as to say that if we hire G Mac, then there was no reason to fire Red.

I’ll go so far as to say this was easily the stupidest comment in the history of man.
TOTAL ANARCHY HERE! I LOVE IT!

 

[Cuse1055]

Seems odd someone would leak a story they turned a job down. Is that a thing and why?

Wreaks like saving face.

Bingo

 

[sdhall01]

Maybe we don’t hire someone. The paid pro version of ChatGPT would only run SU $2,400 a year. Could work.

My beagle could take the job. Just give him a few mil in NIL.
