Coach Search Options after Autry

[CuseMan4]

I really hope SU can hire Jay Wright. He will give Syracuse at least five good years. At least we can recover to a credible program 100%. Any other young coaches have different degrees of risk to sink us lower.

Jay Wright wants nothingggg to do with the current state of College Basketball. That’s why he left. Otherwise he would be the best coach in college basketball right now. Dude is a stud coach and class act.

 

[phil77]

? They do not understand college basketball outside of SU

This is correct and I am afraid our alumni like Melo are in the same boat

If Jay says no, then I'm hoping to take a flyer on Jon Scheyer. I'll also take a step down and for settle for Sampson, Self, or Few.

Self's team implode too much. He can stay at Kansas. lol.

Guys, we’re going to hire Bryan Hodgson and everything will be alright.

If only it was that easy being a Syracuse fan and having that mindset

Could be wrong, but don't recall seeing this posted. Really good read and covers basically everything about the upcoming coaching carousel

It's a huge carousel and unless Cuse jumps on the lead pony, we could left in the dust.

We have a better chance of hiring John Wooden than getting Jay Wright to coach at Syracuse. Someone should ask Coach Jack about Hodgson. They should have both been at Buffalo at the same time.

Jay is not coming here lol

Interesting tweet about Florida's Assistant Coach. Just shows there are some great minds out there. Red chose not to go that route and hopefully the powers to be don't go with the same old, same old. #teamHodgson

Could care less about her opinion for the next hire. A month or so ago, she was basically advocating Red should be retained.

Who's on the #teamHodgson train. Just look at these numbers where USF ranks in all of CBB. Very impressive. Points 9th, Rebounds 2nd, Assists 32nd, Steals 17th, Blocks 39th. The Dome will be rocking. Make it happen.

Better yet, ask Fran Brown. Not to put labels on anyone, but Hodgson is similar to Fran Brown in upbringing, long time Cuse fan, energized, similar personalities but with a somewhat established track record of head coaching success.

Put the two of them in the room together and it will combust from all the energy.

Maybe he has changed his mind. At least we should try.

I would be happy if they asked Jay Wright and Brad Stevens and Mark Few and Jon Scheyer just to know that they are really doing a true nationwide search.

 

[OrangeXtreme]

The people who want Hop are the same people who go back to the restaurant after it gives them food poisoning.

Have you tried their raw chicken tenders?

Talk to Coach K and Roy Williams too. And round out the search a bit by interviewing Jimmy and Buddy

You could not offer the same job to multiple people. What should be the sequence?

But there's no empiracle evidence he can beat dook and Carolina!!

 

[Cusefan0307]

I think hiring Hodgson could vault us ahead of Louisville and NC State. Neither of those schools are happy with their recent hires.

 

[STEVEHOLT]

This is where I’m at. If we can actually land him, possibly due to his NY state roots, why would we pass him up? He’s going to be one of the hottest coaches on the market, and there isn’t as much competition this year in terms of elite or name brand programs looking for new head coaches. This unique opportunity is staring at us right in the face. Are we really gonna mess it up?

Probably a step down for him

 

[RedtheGOB]

So what's getting announced Tuesday? Chancellor?

Incorrect. She just wanted fans to be less disrespectful toward a colleague and be less negative. She didn’t say anything about Red being retained.

This was excellent. Great find. Sounds like LSU wants Wade to return there (but who knows if he’d leave NC State after only 1 year), Porter Moser may get fired from Oklahoma, and Dana Altman isn’t likely getting fired from Oregon (he’s been winning there most years…they were dealing with injuries this year). Cincy is surging so it remains to be seen if they fire their guy. Ohio State might open (sounds like that’s not a given at all) but they might look to Oztelberger first if they do. We really might have an ideal market this year where we can compete for the top coaches like Schertz and Hodgson.

It may not actually be a huge carousel compared to last year. “Several of the coaches mentioned below have a substantial amount of money remaining on their deals, and schools will be hesitant to pay those buyouts. Word is already starting to trickle out from some schools that are instead opting to raise their men's basketball NIL budget and giving their coach one more season to turn things around.”
