Coach Search Options after Autry

[Blanko97]

Hopefully the adults come into the room at some point.

It’s crazy, I can’t stop reading and when I do I have to catch up on like 8 pages. That’s after like 20 min! My wife keeps asking what I’m doing on my phone. My response, babe, my favorite sports teams are coming a clown show. I’m reading how crazy this soap opera has become. It just blows my mind how far we have fallen. Just sucks

It’s ok - you can be honest with us, we won’t tell your wife: you’re a couple steps ahead and already filling out the bio & interest form for divorcee night.

The most head spinning thread I have ever read on this board

And we still have 3 more weeks to go lol. The games are second fiddle at this point.

 

[Cooper05]

The one thing I will say, as someone noted probably 10 pages ago now, it has shown me a lot how much our fanbase cares about getting Syracuse Basketball back to where it belongs! Just if the decision makers could realize this, put there differences aside, and come together to put SYRACUSE BASKETBALL where it belongs!

Over 50 pages in 36 hours. The season isn’t over for another 16 or so days.

This will show which posters have stamina and who doesn’t.

Again, not focusing on any question at all. 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. If he gets the gig I certainly hope he is, but until then I am willing to accept the possibility that there may be other qualified candidates.

So are most. However, based on his body of work. Hop isn't one of them. There's been a bunch mentioned on our board who have had very good HC success-Schertz, Olen, Takayo Siddle, even Luke Murray is more qualified.

So a Lyke/Hop combo plate will not only put a nail in the coffin for the hoops team but also the football program. Woohoo!

How about we have Melo pick the AD and Lally the HC for the compromise? Please?

But the volleyball teams will be pretty darn good for years!!!!

 

[althea]

The only thought that gives me solace in moments like this is - as bad as it may sound - Kelvin Sampson.
Not that he would ever coach here, but it illustrates that redemption can be a powerful force.

 

[kingtidge]

It's like Game of Thones for Cuse athletics...

There are going to be some kills on high profile characters coming soon... Who's going to lop off Theon's hog??

 

[Sherman20]

So the best I can discern is that we have a real mess on our hands.

Behind the scenes, there are power struggles taking place for all three positions currently open. Chancellor, AD and MBB.

There seem to be competing factions at each position, and there seems to be a clear direction for what I would say is “Team Lally”…which appears to be involved in all three.

Their slate of candidates appear to be:
Chancellor Haynie
AD Lyke
Coach Hodgson
(The last two for sure, not sure about Haynie)

They are opposed on Lyke by some very influential FB supporters.

And they are opposed on Hodgson by Team Melo.(Hop)
Melo will not be outspent here.

I don’t know how this is all going to fall out, but I think Haynie is going to be a winner here.

The AD situation is too close to call.

As is the MBB coach.

The overarching picture here is the Lally’s attempt to consolidate control. I don’t think they’re going to stop until the school is renamed Lally University @ Syracuse.

Let’s just say their name above Melo’s on the basketball facility has been “duly noted”.

I think a Hop - Lyke result would be somewhat of a potential compromise.

As Dash has noted, I don’t see anyway the Lally’s support Hop, nor Melo supports Hodgson.

Who are the other AD contenders? Any insight?

How is a Lyke-Hop result a compromise? They’ll cave on Hop but insist on Lyke? I’m dying. The worst of all possible worlds.

Who are the other AD contenders? Please, we need some insight into who they’re looking at.

If you read all 221 pages of this thread plus about another half dozen threads on this board and the football board, you can find all the info you need. It's easier to find the hidden medallion from the Syracuse newspaper. Good luck. LOL.

How much money you donating? I betcha we can get you in the running

It only took 4 clues this year.

 

[Sherman20]

The funny thing as they compromise, it could be the worst pairing imaginable for Syracuse University Lyke/Hopkins oh man that is so bad and out of left field.

(Nothing personal on Hopkins I know you go way back)

Do any of our insiders have any insight into Mike Tirico’s sway and guidance on athletics matters? I always thought he had a big hand in Wildhack coming to SU as AD in the first place. He is so widely respected. Could he get all these fools in a room and explain the stakes and get them all on the same page?

He can get us Snoop Dogg.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Yet Lally wants her. Thought he was a more FB guy.

Sounds like Laura is withholding nooky unless John toes the line.

 

[phil77]

Just checked the box score and looks like BH is going to get a road win against Rice. Final score 75-56

Why is this win of importance you ask?

---I had this stat ready for the board for fun, but not that it matters now, but with this win tonight, the South Florida Bulls reach 20 wins for the 7th time in school history. Correct in their 55 year history, they have only had 20 wins, 6 other times, and BH got them to that mark in YR 1.

 

[W'boro'Cuse315]

Please sign Hodgson so that I & others can finally get over not even making a play for Nate Oats.

 

[Sherman20]

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

Aha, a breadcrumb. I wonder if Melo wants to be the GM. Steph Curry is the assistant GM for Davidson now—even though he has a pretty demanding day job.

 

[oldpinepoint]

He can get us Snoop Dogg.

I would hire snoop over lyke and hop

 

[orangepassion]

I was thinking along on the same lines. Would it be improper for BH to reach out to Melo? Probably yes, Red still has the job. I would have to think if BH gets the job, his first call would be to melo and try to get those assets delivered to him. Melo couldn't do that now because that would undercut Hopkins. But it just seems that and I might be wrong here, but it seems to me that Hop and Bh are minor players in this game. The real game is between the Lally's and Melo.

Let's go Lally. Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap-Clap.

 

[orangepassion]

I know some BOT members. They care as much as we do. They make mistakes. Just like all of us do.

Speak for yourself

It’s unfortunate that most donors have the “me, not we” mindset

Disaster if that happens. There’s a ton of leg work that goes into it and Melo does not have the time for it.
