Coach Search Options after Autry

Just about had a heart attack

The Score sent me a notification saying McNamara and Syracuse but it was just talking about how there had been rumors about it.

There's a press conference introducing the new AD.

What time? Just so people don't post out of context anecdotes and freak everyone out here ha

 

[Cusefan0307]

His first two years? How about his last two years?

I don't know if too many people are pining for this guy but he's better than Hopkins

That’s not a high bar. Anyone is better than Hopkins.

Well prepare to have a real heart attack in the near future

 

[RyanCuse44]

I asked this earlier but haven't gotten a response from gilardino (who posted it)... is there any factual info about a presser scheduled for tomorrow by the AD? I haven't seen anything that supports this.

Post in thread 'Bryan Blair: New Syracuse AD'

Today at 8:16 AM

Introductory presser for ADBB will be Thursday at 10:00.

Apologies if already posted.

Hopefully this presser lowers my major concerns with the current state of our program

We're apparently limited to family hires or those from the MAC. GMAC covers both of these. Or GMAAC.

 

[phil77]

This gives me some more hope that it isn't GMac

 

[orangepassion]

I wonder what questions people might have...

 

[ImperialOrange]

I’d rather not watch more zone after we got away from it for three years even if the man to man was pathetic

At least we'd have an identity again

 

[Cusefan0307]

I fully expect us to make an underwhelming hire based on who’s being discussed. Alum or no alum. And I don’t really think there’s a lot of sound basketball intelligence within the group of people making these decisions.

 

[phil77]

I wouldn't expect anything ground breaking. It would be an echo chamber of the things we already heard. Best Job - National Search - ETC ETC ETC

This is a way to hopefully calm everyone down

 

[orangepassion]

Finished in 3rd place in the MAAC. Could do worse, but can also do better

Exactly what I thought... Etan is the kiss of death, LOL.

I think we have some smart people who can make good recs and try and guide a good decision... but I fear they will be overruled by dumb-dumbs.

In one of his replies, he references that what if the new coach has no connection to Kiyan and Sadiq and they don't want to play for him?

That's the criteria? Good lord.

It continues to amaze me how some people have such strong opinions on things they don't fully understand or have few details about. Opinions and speculation are great, that's what this board is about. However, even our insiders right now don't have the full scoop so anyone sending hate to someone else is beyond stupid. Let things play out!!

Agreed. If everyone had an opportunity to actually spend time with them they would realize that that they are both extremely nice and dedicated to Syracuse. I have been involved with them for over a year now and I like and respect them very much. SU is unbelievably fortunate to have their support. My two cents is that they are the foundation of supporting SU.

You’ll have an actual heart attack when Gmac is actually hired

 

[DilemaCuse]

Im stuck on p 489

Orange Nation chat poster who claims he knows everything said Hodgson is morally bankrupt and has a checkered past. Fiancee who is 10 years younger was an Alabama student while he was on the staff.

I did some research, it looks like she had a brother on the roster at Alabama and there could be how they met. Point is, he didnt pass the background check. Lesson is dont have a speeding ticket for SU to hire you.

Sorry if already posted.

Gotta be quicker then that

 

[M2MPrinciples]

I can talk myself into GMac if SU’s social team doesn’t post something like this if we miss the tournament:

 

[Nicknack]

I want to take a break from this thread but then if do, I'll have 50 pages to have to catch up on. I guess I could have more serious problems.

Is Travis Steele (Miami Ohio) related to former Cuse alum Lexington Steele? Could be a real solid in, if we dont blow it...

I always assumed Lexington Steele was a 'stage' name. Like Lance Mannion or BB Cox or Buck Naked.
Yeah, his real name was Clifton Britt.

Any assistants named Britt out there?
