As in Awe shite, that’s the best we can do?!

 

[Sherman20]

I said it for a long time during this whole time - I don’t ever expect Syracuse university to pay people what they should get. And let alone a basketball coach. They cry poverty with everything and aren’t serious clearly. All they had to do was meet the ask of BH. That’s it. Wasn’t outlandish and clearly didn’t happen

Now I know this could be agent play, but also could be not. And seems like not. I know how cheap this university is. You guys thought I was nuts when I said they aren’t going to pay and support like you guys think

If this is truly the case (and I don’t know if it is), why are we even interested in the Syracuse basketball and sports programs in any way? We all should go find a new team to invest our time and money in. And the athletic dept can go enjoy their 5,000 fans for basketball games. They’re going to lose most of their diehard and casual fanbase, which is already teetering as it is. And it didn’t have to be this way. We could have hired the best coach on the market and been back on top of college basketball again.

How they were not prepared for this is beyond me. Everyone here knew that Red would probably fail this year and would have to hire a new coach. If I was a betting man, I would’ve taken that bet while trying to remain optimistic about Red. They certainly knew two months ago.

Not to defend anyone because I have no stake in this game as anyone but a fan. But what if for the last year they were getting one NIL number from a candidate and all of the sudden the candidate gets hot and his name gets into the press as the next thing since sliced bread and he increases his NIL number by 50%? If the university doesn't believe it can consistently deliver the NIL each year that the candidate is going to need then why hire him? The dude will just quit with the first better offer he gets.

My hunch is we are already down this path with mr dart... except he was so grateful for the chance he probably said I'll bring the money. But now he will leave with the first better offer he gets where he doesn't have to do as much of the heavy lifting and he will take the team with him.

If they are seeing the same with Hodgson than they are better off not hiring him. I agree it shows a complete lack of ambition, but money is money. We all need to reset our expectations as fans... it seems we are going to be bubble program that makes it into the dance once every 3/4 years moving forward. Basically we will be providence but in a more challenging conference, so we won't make the dance as often.

Great, can't wait. They should market this. Syracuse university the Providence of the acc.

Gerry and BH have the same agent

As does Hopkins

If the administration is ok with potentially being a bubble team every 3/4 years (which we haven’t even been lately) they better pray to God that Fran gets the football team rolling like it’s 1987-2000 or else they’ll be left out of the super conferences when the ACC inevitably implodes in a few years

In other words, we are most likely cooked.

Marek turned it down because the new AD refused to cave to his request to smoke cigs during tv timeouts

And unlimited Mario and salvos pizza

 

[PauliePeppas]

I dislike this school more and more by the minute

 

[rocklloyd]

I’d truly feel awful if I ever bring kids into this world and they have to be Syracuse fans because I am

Just wait until you send one there.

I bring no new information to the table, but everything about this process feels like an admission from the University that our time as a basketball power, or even as a relevant basketball entity is completely and entirely at an end.

Yup we are in the same boat as Pitt and bc. Sad.

Axe: Bryan Hodgson saying no to Syracuse basketball job brings up a few questions

If Bryan Hodgson doesn't want the Syracuse job, what does that say about the Syracuse job?

www.syracuse.com

I have some questions.

First of all, who said no to whom here?

Was it Hodgson who said “it’s not you, it’s me” to Syracuse or the other way around?

If it was Hodgson who rejected the Syracuse job, what does that say about the Syracuse job?

Are the concerns of Syracuse not committing enough resources to NIL and paying players legit?

If it was Syracuse who passed on Hodgson, well, the question becomes a simple ... why?
