Coach Search Options after Autry

[AZOrange]

Shaheen Holloway as our coach means we couldn't get our top 3 or 4 choices to come here.


Which would be a bigger problem than Shaheen Holloway as our coach.

The thing that would be a concern is if a BIGGER job comes open and BH goes that path.

But he’s an upstate NY guy who doesn’t have the blue blood undergrad player experience so if we can get him I think the moat is pretty darn good

I know alot of the crowd here isn't with the AI times but here's what It;s spitting out. Just think of it as a more advanced form of Askjeeves or AltaVista...

BH: Cuse 55% / Stay 35% / ASU 10%
Gmac: 45% Cuse / Stay 30% / GT or BC 20% / Other 5%
Schertz: 50% stay / 40% Syracuse / 10% Other P4 program
Murray: 40% Cuse / Stay 35% / BC 20% / Providence 5%
Hop: 45% Cuse / 40% Stay / 15% other. The algorithm is tricky here because no other D1 programs want him
Shaheen: Stays 80% / Cuse 15%

Then the next cut...Who will it be:
BH-->35%
Gmac--> 25%
Schertz-->15%
Murray-->15%
Hop and a few others less than 5%. Shaheen not on list

These #'s are a mess obvi but they show trends. There are no other P5 programs eating our cake.

I like it and I like even better that we have alot of options.

Also since 1949 cuse’s record against providence is flipping 48-10. A freaking .827 win percentage. Give me a break!! Screw this PC is a better job BS. Now I’m fired up lol

It was 1 clown posting last night at midnight about providence. He's posted all of 4 messages ever. Methinks he may not be fully transparent with he allegiance's ha

So if my math is correct we have a 240% chance of getting one of those guys.

Where did this Holloway stuff come from? Anytime you can get a coach barely over 500 in his coaching career after 8 seasons you have to do it?

his agent and backers. I'd bet that Dean is friendly with Shaheen and bumping his name a bit.

For a school that is supposedly no longer a good job, it sure seems to have a lot of interest and casual fans have a lot of strong opinions on who should get hired for it.

I just find it hard to believe that BH would be after our job for 2 years now and then all the sudden say no thanks I am going some place else. Him knowing the Lallys he can’t be surprised by anything so unless we made a terrible decision and went with GMac or some other under the radar terrible choice I just can’t see how we don’t end up with BH.

PC is a great job. The big east is a great conf to coach in.

I know for a fact Gmac is who bc wants. What I was told from bc is they assume Syracuse didn’t want Gerry. Which is why boeheim mentioned it. Take it for what it’s worth

I’ve heard that the interview process is a mess and that they’re having trouble selling coaches with their NIL package and coaches salary. They’ve basically told candidates they will be in the bottom third of the ACC with no real chance to move up because they’ve put all their eggs in the football basket. Joe Gallo has poked around. Eric Olen as well.

Eric Olen is a fantastic coach better than 90 of the other names being thrown out but i heard he will be Arizona states next coach or that is the rumors

The rest of the post isn’t real

This story SO doesn't pass the smell test.

I *think* he's talking about BC not Cuse. At least I hope.

Hahaha. AIs biggest use will be gambling and pron. if I had to pick a true longshot it would be one of the 2 UConn ahcs. There was some early connection/smoke on 1 of them.

ok providence smart guy. What interviews have happened already considering we just fired a coach Monday and got a new AD yesterday?

So is Providence being used as leverage for more resources commitment to BH from Syracuse? Also, why would Hodgson be a perfect fit for Providence when he climbed up through schools with FBS football. I would think that argument for Providence can be made with Schertz as he climbed the ladder through basketball schools.

 

[cuseguy]

Considering I’m hammering the pro-McNamara crowd for basing their case on one data point, it’s fair to note I’m basically doing the same thing here. I looked up Providence attendance to compared to Seton Hall. I expected they would be similar. They are not. Providence draws around 11,000, Seton Hall 7,500. It’s probably a better fan base than I would have guessed.

It’s a better fan base primarily because Seton Hall plays its games in Newark, a bus ride from campus, and Providence plays a short distance from campus.

Why is it the “perfect fit” Jeffrey? Enlighten me

 

[cusefan88]

I could see Providence going for Luke Murray or even the Yale coach.

 

[pearl31]

Holloway cannot string good years together. Not to mention he’s coming off a 7-25 season last year and is on the back edge of the bubble with needing to be St John’s to get closer but probably has to win the BET to get in.

he's been very underwhelming at SH

So obvious hes tight with Bryan or at least trying to be and hyping him up for bigger payday/leverage. Also isnt Goodman from New England? Prob hated Cuse growing up being either a BC Uconn or Friar fan

Margot Robbie is also the leader in the clubhouse for my next wife, but she has multiple options...

The thing though about any worry of BH going for a BIGGER job in College Basketball if he sees success is that Syracuse will be a BIGGER job if BH brings success to Syracuse. If the money made from basketball is used to reinvest in basketball and BH is getting 25k plus to the dome on the regular. Syracuse will be a consensus top 15 job again.

I was referencing the BC job.

I was speaking of the BC job if you actually read through the thread. Also, I am a Syracuse fan. In no way am I a Providence fan so you can throw that theory out the window.

Agreed. I have zero concern about him using us as a stepping stone. If he's successful, there won't be many jobs better.
