Coach Search Options after Autry

[Briancuse]

Where was all this money for this year?!?

And if he loves hop so much why didn't he demand he be brought in after last year?

 

[Jake]

Jake, can you or someone else explain why Lally would be so pro-Lyke. But then you are saying some influential FB supporters oppose Lyke. I thought Lally would be considered an influential FB supporter. Is there a riff somewhere?

I thing people would settle for Lyke if, and a big IF, Hodgson is hired as MBBHC.

Thank you to you and all the others who are providing moving target tidbits as best possible.

Unfortunately, I don’t know the “why”.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Not only can’t she help, but likely a reason we won’t be included.

Blah. ADs at least don’t have buyouts right? Obvi she’s cheap. Maybe we can just scapegoat her and fire her when she inevitably screws up.

There are far more supporters of SU football than just the Lally’s. Lallys aren’t paying the NIL bill.

We also have to separate John from Laura in this equation. For some reason Lyke convinced Laura she was the right person for the job.

 

[Fly Rodder]

Simply making the point that there is no empirical evidence that Hodgson would be the can’t miss, sure fire thing some are portraying him to be.

Who is?

If you had your way JAB would still be coaching.

 

[Sdot]

If I had to choose and had no choice I’d pick Hopkins being coach over lykes being AD, 10 out of 10 times.

 

[Cappy3]

I don't know for sure but I would think it would be the majority

And would that be on top of the current money? Or replace some or all of it?

I agree as I have serious concerns what happens to our FB program with Lykes in control. I think the Lally support is short sighted.

 

[RedtheGOB]

Dash just said is on board with Team Melo... so that would appear to be the case, if true...

Missed that part. Thanks for confirming. We need some sort of codeword for this dispute

 

[5OutFred]

Premier college basketball insider Trilly Donovan said it best today, "If Cuse hires Hopkins you might as well fold the program."

They have no idea the national blowback this decision would have on the brand.

 

[Jake]

I dont want to even have to ask but is there a scenario where a certain individual the Lallys really despise is lining up behind Melo and Hop and now we’re in store for some WW1 level trench warfare for a month.

It’s interesting, I recently heard that Hop had lined up another significant donor, it would not surprise me if it was AW.

 

[sufan59]

People laugh about Lally University, but is it not that far fetched? They probably have a lot more money thank we think? This is a private university they can change the name if they get some astronomical number.

So hoops sinks farther? Sounds like we are in a lose lose scenario….if any of this is accurate

 

[RedtheGOB]

So we’re screwed. Awesome!

Thanks for sharing, honestly.

Chill. There’s many levels of being screwed as a Cuse fan. Hell there may be even more levels we’ve yet to unlock.

 

[sufan59]

If Lyke gets the job, the Lally’s better be prepared to fund all our NIL for football on an ongoing basis or kiss Fran goodbye. .

And Calvin Russell

 

[CuseBlood44]

Supposedly we have a 3 year commitment. And I can't see KA leaving for the pros after this year. If he did, that would be a wonderful turn of events.

And what happens after 3 years when Kiyan graduates…

 

[phil77]

Lyke will kill the football program
Hopkins will kill the basketball program

At least the people will get their wish and back to the big east we go

 

[BomberOrange]

Not on you Jake, but it’s funny how so many on here are like “don’t piss off lally”, and now are turning on Lally and could be propping up AW.

 

[kingtidge]

There is one known way to get Lallys to go scorched earth, that is for sure...

Lyke was at Pitt right? Their football is fine.

 

[Blanko97]

I am thinking that there is more to this situation than Kiyan. And I won't say anymore on that.

He has another son!????

 

[sufan59]

Etan Thomas and Laura Lally should not be involved in any hiring decisions

 

[sufan59]

USF up 26-10 on Rice. Halfway into the first half if anyone cared, but this seems just less interesting now with all this new info lol.

 

[Blanko97]

I’m confused, lyke would be an awful AD but why would that specifically piss off Frans funders? Is she a p.o.s. or something?
