If this is true, all Hodgson would have done was say what everyone knew was going to happen. However, I doubt it because the account posting this quote thinks a little too highly of themselves, and this is probably just engagement bait.
Hodgson has wanted this job for a few years - it's not random that his name was floated around a lot last season. Considering his credentials are similar to that of Schertz and Skinn, that should mean something, especially if the rumors that Schertz is not interested in SU are true.
