Coach Search Options after Autry

[phil77]

He did, but what he has planned for the next couple is monumental

And is he saying he is only doing that for Hop or regardless?

$15 million would give him likely a top 5 war chest in CBB. He definitely didn’t have that at Washington (keep in mind NIL wasn’t a thing in the beginning of his tenure there). It would be hard to say let’s not role the dice in that scenario. But this is all just pretend. My point is that there are so many unknowns right now.

Got it. You want a Cuse guy for some dumb reason. Move on. Hodgson.

For Hop … he will always donate but it’s for Hop

 

[phil77]

For Hop … he will always donate but it’s for Hop

That is super unfortunate.

Do you know how he feels about hodgson?

Just want to put it out there that the University will push every narrative they can to make it seem like they made the right hire...

There's no defending the decision if you decide to go with the guy that has proven to be a losing coach over the up-and-coming hot name on the trail coach that has only succeeded at multiple stops and is getting looks from many other high-major jobs. Oh yeah, and that guy also desperately wants to come here. If Hopkins gets the job, we all know why, and it's not because he was the best option.

It's been proven time and time again that it does not matter how much money the coach has. If they aren't good, they won't win. Not to mention when a coach starts losing, all that "money" that they seemed to have starts disappearing.

Also, a good administration finds a way to get the donors behind the guy they choose. They don't let a donor put them in an ultimatum to choose the guy they want.

I’m curious where Hop is getting his war chest from. Who didn’t fund Red but will fund Hop?

Apparently Hop had a more successful night at the Marriott than you did.

That would be chapter 2 in the Syracuse Shakesperean tragedy of SU legends who brought Syracuse to its greatest heights being destroying it and bringing it to its lowest lows.
1st Chapter: Jim Boeheim
2nd Chapter Carmelo Anthony

Maybe it will be a 30 for 30 one day.

I don’t I just know about Hop

I agree, I have said many times that only Syracuse can mess this up. The Hodgson hire is just too easy and straightforward; it shouldn't even be an issue, but it is Syracuse, and they have to find ways to make the easy difficult.

Jesus you guys. I read like 15 pages a day and still can't catch up. I'm way back on page 148.

I’d just hate to miss out on all of the Rony Seikaly NIL money if Bernie Fine doesn’t get the job.

I’m seeing it now - bringing the banana boat crew to Cuse

Chris Paul at PG, D Wade at SG, Melo at SF, LeBron at PF, throw in Dwight Howard at Center (they all lobby for college eligibility)

Kiyan off the bench as 6th man

Still 6th in the ACC with Hop as coach
