Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cuse1055]

Of all the candidates that have been mentioned, Schertz is my #1 choice, Skinn #2, Hodgson #3 although I'd be happy with any of them.

Travis Steele is the one name so far that would do nothing to excite me, despite the great season Miami is having so far.

Agreed that those are my top 3. All 3 of them are in good positions to win their conference (A10 and American).

Schertz is a no brainer. Make it happen

As much fun as it sounds to have Melo and Bill Murray at home games, would we really want to roll the dice on a guy with no head coaching experience at this juncture?

I love the idea of doing absolutely whatever it takes to get Schertz. But is it me or does it just feel like it would be too good to be true to land him?

Yes I agree that should be the top 3. If we can't get one of the top 3 then we are in big trouble. For selfish reasons part of me is drawn to Hodgson just because I enjoy watching that style of basketball but I do think he is the "worse" of the three options so I wouldn't be mad if he is the choice. That style of basketball would be such a break from whatever Syracuse has done previously and I feel we desperately need a chance like that.

Winning me over

No one said we have to hire a nice guy though….

we should rule out nice guys from even being considered. Let’s swing the pendulum completely in the opposite direction.

Hodgson attaching himself to Lally isn't by chance. Sure, there's a philanthropic component because he's from upstate, but let's not kid ourselves here. He's playing the game. Frankly, that's needed these days.

Doing whatever it takes to get this job shouldn't be lost on us if we can't land Schertz or Skinn. He wants Cuse, and wants it bad.

I'd be happy with Hodgson. For Schertz is it that he prefers the Midwest, or is there something specific about Cuse that gives him pause? Does anyone know?

I think it may be as simple as Hodgson brings X millions to the table with him and the other candidates do not.
