Coach Search Options after Autry

[Toga]

 

[AZOrange]

Wildhack said quote on quote that they will hire a “proven winner”.

Why would you fire people like Corasiniti among others who I’m sure would’ve been kept on staff by Hopkins/GMAC.

They had intentions of going outside the family, let’s be clear.

Yeah and Tirico said similar. Agreed that it all feels odd even the Kline but if Hopper was coming back.

 

[ezbeezy214]

No but it tracks with what some are implying here, and it was posted before the Hodgson news came out.

DC has basically been the rowdy fan that stands a lot in the front row for like 2 decades and really likes Hop (playing overlap?). I really doubt he’s teasing anything.

Blair adds a Wildcard aspect. There's a greatwr then 0% probability of a hire that isn't BH or from the JB coaching tree. People need to calm the hell down and the mods help those who need some extra help in doing so

Wait, aren't you the one heavily implying it is Hop? Or was that someone else?

 

[GHLF]

Guy is a complete fraud.

The only thing that is pathetic if someone actually believes JL corrupted this search. How about we weren't going to overpay and we were certainly not going to bow to him. Bye. By the way where do you get your information that you speak as truth? How about we moved on when we could not meet his demands. more money for the next candidate who actually wants to be here? BH Smart guy, however I very much believe he did us a favor. Please donate to NIL. Last question if JL corrupted this and BH was his candidate what happened ?

You really think there might be a dark horse pick? Doesn’t seem likely to me, but I hope I’m wrong.

 

[PoppyHart]

I learned from Stranger Things that compromise meant “halfway happy”. I am not even 2% happy right now.

Whenever you get the chance to hire the guy that was your coach in waiting for so long during good times but never gets it so he goes somewhere else, and then the good times turn bad while at the same time the guy never got going at the new place so hes off the map and you give it to a diff guy that was waiting at the same time as the good times but stuck through the bad times and got the job and made it worse times, so you you wanna go back to last future guy before the future guy that got it instead because the timing worked out, you gotta do it

Um, no

But also not entirely sure if your long run on sentence was sarcastic. If so, well done.

They also said they need to get everyone on the same page going in the same direction. If the plan was to go outside the family then they didn't get everyone on the same page and going in the same direction.

 

[AZOrange]

100%. That was why he was hired, guy doing his job? Crazy.

Doesn’t Blair know he should just go to this thread to see who the right hire is?

Could be 1,000 reasons why they didn’t offer Hodge the job. We will most likely never know

Well formally offering the job now would have been wrong

 

[sufan59]

Lol

 

[tptcuse]

There’s enough at stake here and new faces to get this stuff right but they need time.

So there won't be an announcement "as early as tomorrow"?

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Correct, he is only for winners. We are losers

Speak for yourself

 

[Roc44]

I think Hop is a guy you can rally around. I still love gmac to but I would be happy with Hopkins as head coach

Hop is not the answer come on be real

 

[LpoolNative]

Lol

Thanks Adam, you’re about 3 years late

 

[FrancoPizza]

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

It doesn’t make sense that the Lallys had planned this thing with BH for over a year and decided they weren’t going to put their $ behind it. Makes no Fin sense.

 

[kingtidge]

Well it wouldn't be anyone playing in the tournament then. So it is Hopkins OMG

Plus if they announce it tomorrow, they can get it out of the way before the tourney starts and it will only be one day of negative press/laughing. Once the tournament starts, no one will care.

 

[ezbeezy214]

Um, no

Completely. It’s a crazy picture when you draw it out.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Ya we lost out on our number one choice who grew up an su fan and wanted the job. Can't wait to wake up tomorrow for another kick in the nads.

The thing we need to remember is that when we throw %’s out we need to keep in mind that 70% of the fanbase will not check back in until November for hoops, 25% will not even catch this type news for a week and by then there will be a new coach hired, they prob will not even know about BH or who the other candidates ever were.

Then we have us 5% left here.

 

[Frozen]

There's plenty on the other end of the bell curve, too.


I should know.

People call me a bell end all the time.

 

[LpoolNative]

Speak for yourself

Settle down, jockey

Yeah, they already blew it.

The guy was the best coach out there for the job. He was asking for enough nil money to be competitive, something that every coach is looking for. This is lallys guy, and he couldn't get it done. I donate what I can.

 

[35kcuse]

Syracuse perception across college basketball is probably as bad as it will ever get after tonight. Can’t type out enough how crucial that is. It kills your brand and people won’t wanna play for you.

 

[TexanMark]

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!!!!!

I'd like to get confirmation on this $30M
