Same Nate Oats who has led Alabama to a 143-54 record since 2020 with a Final 4, Elite 8 and two Sweet 16's while we got to watch the Boeheim Family Reunion, losses to Colgate and Bryant, and whatever you want to call the last three years. At least we have a Nice Guy at the helm now
Oats was never coming here because SU wasn’t interested. Not their kind of hire
I bet they’d go after otzelberger
For arguments sake if it was Hodgson certainly Tobin Anderson would join him I think. No stranger to upstate NY either.
I didn't realize that Anderson was on Hodgson's staff at USF. I'm guessing Hodgson would bring a lot of his staff with him, but would look to add a couple heavy hitters.
Yeah! Make him “say no” to that. You gotta try.
Weak conference.
Hoiberg was born in Lincoln, Nebraska and his parents went to Nebraska. His kid plays there. Fred now has that program rolling like never before.
I hope the next coach recognizes his weaknesses and fills his staff accordingly instead of just randomly or giving positions to friends.
I saw a recent interview with Hodgson where he talked about playing and scoring fast. But he also mentioned that he has "over 300" half court sets and most of those are to take advantage of mismatches by isolating defenders. He designs sets based on advance scouting and analytics of the next team on the schedule. He said there are basic sets that can adapted to multiple combinations just by changing a couple of words in the play call. He also uses analytics to set up his players to get the shots they are most efficient at.
Anything else? His team right now if they were in the ACC would be close to the middle of the pack. I’m sure he has areas he would look to upgrade on his roster if he were in the ACC. Also it’s literally his first year in the American and they are in contention. Same thing with Arkansas State in contention both years as a head coach. Pretty sure the guy is a winner as a head coach.
And still higher in KP than us.
Yeah, there are plenty of coaches that run sophisticated X and O concepts based on analytics and scouting. That quality needs to be an absolute criteria for the next hire. Along with a history of success and program building. Young, successful up and comer from a lower level seems like a good place to start.
Hes not in good enough shape, needs to do a few more pushups.
To be crystal clear, all of this stuff is still just speculation on a fan board. Some opinions are more reasonable possibilities than others. But, nothing is clear about who will be on the list, who will be interviewed, or who is even interested in the position.
