Coach Search Options after Autry

[phil77]

I like offense as much as the next guy. I don’t like the idea of a play style that is so seemingly dependent on hitting shots that you could take out a top 10 team one night but lose to a bottom 10 team the next. Doesn’t seem sustainable.

I will push back a little here, not on Hodgson, the coach, but the system. He runs basically the same system as Oats, and Oats has proven that this system is sustainable in the SEC. He has a winning percentage of .694 overall and .681 in the SEC so no big drop off. Also made the tournament the last 5 years. Not saying Hodgson will have that success, but if you get the talent in that system, it is sustainable.

My list in order.

1 Skinn
2 Schertz
3 Gmac
4 Hodgson.

Oats has been doing that at Alabama with, presumably, players we won’t afford here. Or will we be able to rely on this donor friend of Hodgson’s to put us up near that level of NIL?

I’ve gone and watched some videos of Hodgson and don’t find his demeanor as dislikable as I did originally. So I’ll give him that. I do need to go brush up on what all transpired with Red’s son because it’s hard to ever say a scumbag thing like that and not be a scumbag person. I’m hoping there’s some context I’m missing.

Isn't that just rumors that a few posters put here, or was there something bigger I missed? Seems almost tailored to generate outrage.

All I could find was a Tweet by some dude named CurryHicksSage. If it’s a made up rumor, it’s a weird one to make up.

People say stupid crap all the time. Doesn't make it right or wrong, but doesn't mean you are a terrible person; it means you said a stupid thing. Plus, we only hear context from one side, nothing from the other side. Hodgson has never had any incident before, as it seems isolated, it's hard to make a sweeping judgment on someone based off 3rd party information about half of a conversation in the handshake line. That is my personal opinion; you are free to hate him until the end of the earth, I don't care. There has been plenty of debate about it, and I am not getting into that.

Why doesn't Lally currently contribute to basketball NIL? He just doesn't like it / want to, or is it because he thinks Red will waste it?

 

[RyanCuse44]

How is Gerry not the best option moving forward? Hes doing a great job at sienna, his pedigree as a player and winner, he connects with the alumni and donors, he’s young, understands the nil game. What am I missing here. Seems like a homerun hire for us

No MORE people from the Syracuse coaching Tree.

Never underestimate the power of sour grapes.

Anyone listened to AA radio show this week? It was reported a fan called in to ask Red who should replace him next year but caller was cut off. Just wondering if Red said anything or just moved on.

CurryHicksSage reposted this today.

This is growth from Eric, very happy for him. This is how you make it in media, you be honest and tell it how it is.

As a person who has said stupid things, I get that. I think saying it to a player and son about his father is why I find it morally objectionable. Very tough to put it in the ‘heat of the moment’ category.

If Hodgson said something to the player it's obviously unprofessional and he should've bit the lip. But there's two sides to every story and you wouldn't believe some of the crap that comes out of players mouths towards coaches. It's incredibly hard not to respond back and I can see young competitive fire-y coaches not being able to bite the lip. Not excusing it but I can certainly understand it.

Agree that’s bad. No way that should even be a topic between a head coach and an opponent’s player after a game. It’s not a casual mistake, it’s purposefully contentious, mean spirited comment. If he is serious about being considered for the SU job, that’s not a good start nor attitude. There will probably be people in the athletic dept, who would still be working for SU even after a change, who probably like Red, respect him, more including former teammates, perhaps boosters etc who could resent it and thus him for it. It wouldn’t be a good way to start a job nor giving a glimpse of how he’d handle people interactions. Disappointing.
