Coach Search Options after Autry

[BomberOrange]

I understand the comprison, and you aren't wrong about it being only a couple of years.

HOWEVER, it has been across two teams. And I think this trumps any of those "remains to be seen" cautions. I mean, look at the performance across these advanced metrics and USF's national ranking across several of them... and this is in Hodgson's FIRST SEASON at the helm there, after having to scramble to field a roster this past offseason.

This is EXACTLY what we need at Syracuse, to get the program back on track. Anyone expressing skepticism about "empirical evidence" with respect to Hodgson's systems -- here it is:

I cannot like your post more. If BH isn’t hired it will be an epic fail. He is gonna kill at whatever P4 he lands. We will have the first crack at hiring him.

 

[llandz]

Don't worry so much about reading it, just be sure to drop any new bits of info you get

In this case I am not reaching out to my sources until the season is over, and Autry has been terminated.

Hell FFF’n YES!!!!

I’ll take this every day of the week and twice on Sundays.

As a fan - who wouldn’t want to watch this system?

As a player - who wouldn’t want to play in it?

We snoozed and losed on Oates.
Please for the love of Otto don’t FFF this up again, Syracuse power’s that be.

Don’t try to be clever or overthink it.

I am pretty sure Autry has been terminated already just not "officially" announced.

The more I learn about BH, the more I want him to be our next head coach!​

 

[TommyA13]

BH wants to be our hc and we (the fans) want him as our hc. The question is, will Syracuse do the right thing or mess it up? Time will tell

 

[phil77]

Has there ever been a situation that meets this criteria:

-A coach that wants to be here
-The coach has had early success in his career and is actually qualified for the job
-Coach is young in his coaching career, so he wouldn't break the bank in buyout or contract
-The majority of fans would be happy with this hire

Has any search ever checked all those boxes?
It would make no sense for Syracuse just to go against all that. LOL Like, actually crazy.

Sounds like he likes Tampa. I'd be pretty hesitant to trade Tampa for Syracuse, it would have to be a pretty sweet offer.

He wants the Syracuse job. Pretty good knowledge on that. He’s also from the southern tier of NY, spent a large portuon of his life in the Buffalo area. He grew up a Cuse fan. He’s familiar with the northeast, great recruiter and would run circles around Red as a coach. He turned around both spots he’s been a head coach at and rather quickly, including Arkansas State who really has no history of being any good. He was a stud assistant with Oats

Also some personal facts about him. His mom had him when she was 15 years old. He grew up in foster care. He’s a hell of a story and great with the media. He would rejuvenate the program pretty damn quick. He’s also someone that would likely stay at Cuse and it would take a lot to wooo him away from Syracuse. And he’s young for head coaching standards especially this the success he’s had. If we don’t get Schertz. Hodgson needs to be plan 1B. Both would kill it here and I think both will interview here and Hodgson wants this job. If Schertz passes on it. It’s Hodgson’s for the taking

Seriously, I lowkey hope Schertz passes on it if he has first dibs. Schertz is a great basketball coach and will have success wherever he is. I am that high on BH! I truly think he embodies the demeanor in the most perfect way for a head coach that we need for Syracuse Men’s Basketball moving forward.

That’s a Fran kind of backstory, I had no idea about his upbringing, wow!

 

[capeorange]

I agree. I grew up in Syracuse (Westhill). Went to Siena and came back after college. Been down in Lakewood ranch the last 7 years. I would need a godfather type offer to even THINK about coming back north.

Same here. Born in Buffalo, lived in Syracuse, graduated from SU, my father graduated and my grandfather graduated from SU. I live a little further south than you and it would take a lot to get me to move back. My heart will always be there but not my azz.

 

[capeorange]

What would you expect him to say? He also said the Buffalo wing place will probably become his favorite.

Believe me, I want him back in NYS coaching SU, but Tampa, to me, is much more attractive than Syracuse.
I'm hoping SU makes an attractive offer and doesn't screw around.

As said above, it depends on what he values.

Your are overlooking every other aspect of the syracuse job.

I've also gone from wanting Schertz first to wanting Hodgson first. It just seems too good to be true for me, so I'm hoping to hell SU doesn't ffff it up.

Whoever comes here has to rebuild the program, which can be done quickly. Right about now, all we have is history and a half empty dome.

Bh knows he can get that dome filled up.

 

[Dinkyspond]

Tampa is frequently used to model worst case hurricane scenarios. They are long overdue.

no we're not. Milton 2024, flooding totaled 2 cars, my mom's and my in laws.

 

[Mr. M]

What’s the word on Schertz interest and SU interest in him?

 

[capeorange]

Bh knows he can get that dome filled up.

You still have to pay him well.

 

[PauliePeppas]

You still have to pay him well.

SU has the money

 

[TommyA13]

What’s the word on Schertz interest and SU interest in him?

No idea about Syracuse’s interest in Schertz but there have been previous reports of Schertz not being interested in Syracuse

 

[CuseMan4]

What’s the word on Schertz interest and SU interest in him?

He’ll listen. Likely interview. But good chance he might want to stay Midwest (Ohio State or something similar) if it opens up

Good to hear, had heard murmurs he wouldnt even entertain
