Coach Search Options after Autry

[OrlandoCuse]

Watching the UVA game. UVA has had a remarkable turnaround under Ryan Odom. He’s probably our best comparable for Red’s replacement. Odom earns $3.25M plus bonus incentives. Has a contract thru 2031. We need to come to the table with a similar compensation structure to attract the right coach.

Totally forgot you were there! Yikes! Glad you’re safe.

No worries. I might start my own thread someday on the OT board. Been a really wild few days getting out. Seemed like I was always in the wrong spot at the wrong time.

I love Cajun style pasta. Is it legit good?

To my inexperienced, naive palette, it put me in another dimension.

Just got stateside. Been a wild few days trying to get out of the Middle East and back home. One more flight.

Im sorry you just got back from WHERE

If we've really been sitting on our hands and not backchannelling with target coach agents, well that's unfortunate.

At the same time, the new AD will want to plot his own path with this hire and that is to be expected...

Was just hoping Wildhack and his team had worked a target list, done some agent backchannelling, and was prepared with a hand-the-baton pack of info with ranked targets and discussion status/deets for the new AD to immediately get up to speed on... Maybe the new AD goes in a different direction altogether, but at least we wouldn't starting from ground zero, while other schools actively negotiate with agents for our likley HC targets.

Getting a late start now isn't the end of the world (could be later) but the liklihood we get caught out with no chair when the music stops, with our prime targets deciding to go elsewhere to schools in advanced negotiations with them, goes up with every passing day.

Still time, but the new AD and his search team are going to have to hit the ground running, be efficient, and work quickly on this if we are starting from ground zero.

I think this is a huge problem that Wildhack decided retire when he did and not hire the basketball coach. I think he’s much more up to speed on what is needed than a newcomer who doesn’t know the university or the situation or the danger of hiring a retread alum like Hop. An outsider isn’t going to understand the dynamics. Wildhack should have stayed two more years.

Just remembering old times here:

Really miss Danny Parkins. He was one of the best we have had here

They should announce Red being let go this week so people can pay respect to him at the last home game for his Syracuse career not just as a coach but for all he has done. If they don't announce before the game their is a strong possibility that all the 500 people in attendance might be chanting FIRE RED all game. Nobody wants that for his last game Nobody

You think people will be attending that game? (Also, I would attend if I lived there...)

JJs friends and family, Carmelo, and a few others. LOL There will be some there, I am sure not many but some. lol

I think Red is pretty down I don't want it to get even worse for him and his last memory for a home game people chanting FIRE RED all game. He doesn't need that. We don't need that either.

 

[jdubs30]

We beat Pitt by 11 last time and Cummings (who had 29) is out.

This won’t be a blowout situation where Red gets booed. We should win

If we give the effort we gave tonight against PITT we will get ran off the court

I will be there.
The players, especially Kyle and Kingz, deserve a send off.
Not their fault they got stuck with a bad coach
Even Red, not as a coach, but what he meant to this school as a player.
I try to remember that when I get really frustrated with him

Isn't it, though? They all chose this and it was pretty clear last year what SU had in Red.

We kind of knew what we had in Year 1. Most of the decent teams blew them out and one of their wins that made it 20 on the season was D2 Chaminade. But the excuses were that it was first year, the roster was a mess, they weren't his guys, they didn't have NIL money, etc.

The Axe man has spoken...

TLDR--> Nick Carparelli for AD and Bryan Hodgson for HC.

Finally some local media stepping up and at least making a stand and stating what they think is best for the school. I don't like some of his takes but at least he's not taking this middle ground crap alot of others are...

Axe: Hold on, Syracuse basketball fans. The cavalry is coming

All eyes are on the future as Syracuse basketball plummets to 15-15 with a fourth-straight loss.

The scenes from the airports all over the Middle East are crazy - so many people are stuck. Glad you made it out.

2026 college basketball coaching carousel hot seat list: The power-conference jobs that could flip this March

The past two years saw 29 high-majors change coaches. This cycle won't be as busy, but there's still some unavoidable change on the way

www.cbssports.com

Syracuse expected to make an AD hire before March 10th. The start of the ACC tournament. Norlander implores Syracuse to make an outside hire.

Notice how often the size of the buy-out is listed as a factor in a coach's retaining his job.

These seem like the logical and smart choices. If they work out or not they are the correct choices at this time.

Not mentioned for Autry. Am I missing something?

Yes, this is what we need! More casual fans need to know the shenanigans and be introduced to who the top candidates are and should be.
