Coach Search Options after Autry

[LpoolNative]

I will, thanks.

You’re not welcome

Trying to be positive.

Blair seems to have his stuff together and we dodged the Lyke bullet.

Hop and $30 mil. Maybe he hires his version of Tex Winter/Luke Murray, spends the NIL wisely on a really good roster and away we go...

Let's ***ing Go Orange!!!!!

FWIW, Kiyan would be a good fit in Shaheen Holloway system.

Will he? Shaheens teams are usually tough and play hard…

 

[Cappy3]

I started 1970-71...this is rock bottom

My old man took me to see Bing play. I’m right with you.

 

[PoppyHart]

Hodgson coming or not has zero to do with Melo.

Are you saying that if Melo brought the same “package” on top of what was already there, it still would not have mattered? If so, the reason for either party (SU or BH) to walk away must be off the charts bad.

lol

They play slower. Kiyan is exactly the opposite type of player that would fit in BH system.

 

[Cuse99&01]

I know. I was riffing on the Hopkins theme that was going on.

Sorry I didn’t have the sarcasm font on

 

[AZOrange]

Im not anti Lally, its there $$ and they can do what they want with it and I appreciate them giving it. That said it’s not exactly top-secret info they aren't huge bball donors. This idea that SU turned down major $$ from them to not hire Hodgson is fn insane. I know people are pissed but there's some god awful takes in this thread.

I agree. But he was their target too so I’m imagining they couldn’t find partner donors on the same page and they wouldn’t do the whole bit and it tanked. That’s the only way I can make it make sense.

 

[LpoolNative]

Seems like Hopkins and Gmac are currently our two top candidates now if it’s true we’re out on Hodgson.

What a joke. I don’t think Hopkins is as bad as people are making it out to be, although it would be a bad hire

 

[OrlandoCuse]

What I find bizarre, is a school that apparently struggles to graduate alums that are successful and passionate about their school and willing to donate to the NIL, are so focused on hiring alums.

 

[Biaxtar]

like I said Hodgson isn’t for everyone.

Correct, he is only for winners. We are losers

 

[jdubs30]

They play slower

Perfect for Kiyan

 

[Cuse1055]

Cuse1055 isn't saying that Syracuse is being smart by not offering Hodgson.

Correct

 

[JeremyCuse]

From what I know Melo would have still been a supporter if BH was the hire. I dont know about the 10 mill figure (again thats a thrown out figure) but he would still have been in. Now again there's other people who may have only been if it was Hop etc.

So Lally didn't get their AD choice or their basketball coach. Hopefully for SU athletics they don't take their ball and go home. Sort of like our alumni who would only give for Hopkins.

Or we just don’t want to burn money

Another coach that hates shooting and scoring.

 

[Cuse2023]

That’s not what I wrote. Read it again. There’s quite a few posters who pass along how horrible the Lallys are because of how they donate their money but are AOK with others doing the same and don’t care how it affects the program. Too bad Ennis left early.

Whatever. Go SU football, let’s try not to suck. Again.

The same people who were furious that Lally was pushing his money towards hiring his guy should be equally as furious at the people who are pushing their money towards keeping it in the family.

 

[LpoolNative]

I don’t think Syracuse basketball has been in a worse position in the last 50 years

 

[AZOrange]

Well x is rough right now for them. I don’t get it

 

[ezbeezy214]

Still there.

Wait is this the tweet everyone is going on?

 

[Sherman20]

Luke Murray seems like it should be the move now

Honestly, I’d almost rather go with a high risk high reward hire at this point. Murray could turn out to be a home run. A lot of these other guys, I’m more skeptical of their ceiling.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Again their money, but they are all clueless.

People don't look at data they express emotion that's the problem. I was earlier in this thread, but in an open forum not directly to them on twitter, there is a difference.
