Coach Search Options after Autry

[jr4750]

I will have to say, maybe leaking Hodgson being out was a good play by Syracuse because I find myself now getting excited with just about with any name that comes up other than Hop or GMac.

That's what is so depressing for me. I was so excited for new blood. I just can't understand going from Autry to GMAC or Hop. Might as well pull a VT football and rehire Autry as AHC.

it's the new AD press conference.

Oh joy he can tell us about what a great start he has had at Syracuse

Young from UConn.

 

[PauliePeppas]

Young from UConn.

No

 

[Chip]

No. It’s dated 3/15. We’d have heard about it by now.

Happy 315 day.

It's the new local April Fool's.

Someone wake Dasher up for the day. I yearn for his takes this morning.

Let Dasher sleep. His takes have been nothing short of depressing or foreshadowing the death of the program.

As far as the basketball hire he will just be an echo chamber of what has already been said by others...

-#1 Job on the market
-Get Syracuse back to elite athletics
-Hire a proven winner with a great track record
-National Search to get best candidate


Then hire GMac.

Young from UConn.

Wont be Young if it is an UConn assistant it will be the other one.

I'm going on record and have been saying from the beginning there's no way they're hiring Hop as HC. Even the casual fans would be annoyed.

Why would Murray take SU job. He makes a million dollar a year to be the top assistant of a top tier (vomit) program? What would attract him to Syracuse specifically? Whenever he choses to leave UConn he will at the top of the list for a number of programs. Please tell me why Syracsue.

why, My UCONN fan family members all think Young is the better candidate and one of my famuly members worked in the UCONN athletic dept.

 

[FrancoPizza]

FWIW, I’ve been completely spooked since Blair was hired because it was so random, so who knows what’s about to happen…..

Young from UConn.

Convicted felon. Just wow.

To be a head coach?

This is a nation of second chances, third chances and very little accountability. Don't you think UCONN vetted him?

 

[Hawknate144]

why do so many of you care about him getting arrested for Weed 30 years ago?

I get yeah he is a convicted felon, but its not like he murdered someone

reminder, our legend of an HC killed a guy (it was not Boeheims fault, but still)

Because Syracuse lacks funds and last I checked, Murray has some kind of big personal connection to a person that is super wealthy and has some influence. Murray also runs their offense, which is important in modern basketball. UConn can keep Young.

I brought Young up a week ago. He is their guard and defensive coach. Platers lover him and he has a track record of developing guards and getting them drafted.

It's not like ISIS or something.

 

[Cusefan0307]

I've been in contact with roughly 10-12 people on the coach and everyone's flipping out. And I don't think most post on here.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

You don't think other schools would offer that?

 

[JeffCuse]

Rough formatting there Dmcnabbrules

 

[RyanCuse44]

Some good news!

Agreed. Might need one of the Admins to tack that.

 

[Dmcnabbrules]

Rough formatting there Dmcnabbrules

That was a fail for sure. Just did a quick edit.

Weed is legal now, the 'convicted felon" stuff is really unnecessary.
