Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cusefan0307]

Hodgson is still my top candidate. If our top candidates don't workout, Joe Gallo at Merrimack is starting to get attention. He'd bring the zone back! Gallo probably isn't ready for a program like SU, but he's a name to keep an eye on.

Ick. Zone is an automatic no for me.

Agreed. We proved man could work earlier this year it’s just that our staff makes players regress

So how much is everyone pledging to support basketball NIL when the coaching change is made? Post your pledge amount in reply

If there is clear communication on the best way to support basketball specifically now that Orange United is gone, I'm sure there will be more interest.

What are people smoking here with these random coaches this morning.

It’s a bit of a game. Posters throw super random names out there. If one of them ends up as the coach they get to say “I suggested him first” for years to come.

I won’t. Total waste of money.

Sorry. My donations to SU will go to my fraternity, remembrance and Newhouse

Hate to break it to you, but something can be both sexist and reality. Have no idea the reality of your statement, but it certainly makes you sound sexist.

How does that make him sound sexist exactly? Pointing out the truth is now sexist?

Mississippi Valley St. HC George Ivory.

Sure, the Delta Devils are 1-21, and their only win is over the USCAA men's team from the Mississippi University for Women, but coach Ivory has them playing hard-nosed basketball. They only lost to Florida St by 49 and lost a bitter heart-breaker to Utah Tech in 2OT's.

Also, the former head coach of Arkansas-Pine Bluff, so he checks that box for folks here.



I suggested him first.

No argument with that at all, but without a major upgrade in the NIL environment you’re not going to get a up and coming outside the family hire. Hopefully people understand there is more to the solution than to simply change coaches. It’s okay to hope it’s remedied with OPM, but that all it is . Hope.

I know you are just trying to make a point, but why do we resort to asking things like this? It seems counterproductive. Everyone has a different financial situation and buying a ticket to a few games for one person is like giving $100K or more relative to another.

Syracuse basketball has the largest potential for ticket sales in the country and has a top ten history. Die hard fans like you and I and the others on this board have every right to talk about the likely coaching change and hope for the best possible hire regardless of our individual ability to donate. The program was built with a great coach and a fan base that supported the team to the tune of 30,000 plus people a game.

NIL has changed the landscape but we all know that there are good coaches out there and many alumni that have a lot of money. People will support a winner and we need someone who coaches well and can positively affect NIL. The two go hand in hand, and our personal NIL contribution amount should not factor into anything. Wildhack understands this and that is why he keeps appealing to businesses and has stressed the importance of ticket sales. Both are required and both will come with a good coach, whether he be an alumni or not.

Brian Earl once Schertz politely says no thank you

Danny Hurley...I just want to watch him and his brother have the inevitable fist fight during the first Syracuse/UConn game

Well if you make a splash hire, fans would be more inclined to donate. The problem right now is the Syracuse Brand is stale, you need to get someone who will reinvigorate the program. Paying a little more may help in the long run once the Syracuse brand is back up at the top.
