Coach Search Options after Autry

[Scotch]

If you ran 100 simulations of what could happen to Syracuse basketball since 2016 we are living in the worst one.

GMAC, if he is our guy…can recruit. The big issue is $$$

He didn't recruit all that well here.

 

[DocFlanders]

Hope GMAC comes here, loses, and gets fired. Then hire Griff and Hopkins. Rinse and repeat so we can finally kill everyone's backward assumption in this braindead athletic department that the JB assistants are perfect

How far down the road until we hire Quadir Copeland ?

Final confirmation this is a small program . Mickey mouse operation. Operates like Enron

 

[shandeezy7]

Really curious whether the ongoing mess in the AD and all the donor squabbling will be enough to turn BH - or other potential candidates - off from wanting this job.

….

Feels like we are headed to the Rutgers bball level ugh.

Loved him as a player, but GMAC is a Rutgers-level hire.

A mid-major coach who took a team to a 16-seed is a Kevin Bannon/Mike Rice/Steve Pikiell-type option.

I, for one, can't wait to hire G-Mac so I can start watching my wife's team exclusively.

“Said Bryan Hodgson’ agent”

The one positive is at least it’s done and we can move on to other guys relatively early in the process

Name one top player he got when he was the lead recruiter at Syracuse.

 

[DocFlanders]

lol how much money does the program hemorrhage with five or 6000 fans showing up for home games?

That’s a great point

 

[Scooch]

If we really can’t get our sh! together to top PC and USF, then we’re sunk. I don’t even care about Hodgson specifically, it’s the broader dynamics that matter.

Maybe Blair has a great candidate in mind and doesn’t mind Hodgson bailing? But that’s likely copium.

Might be getting close to when we have to acknowledge SU simply isn’t big time anymore. Hope not.

 

[BronsonCuse]

Let's just accept our demotion from the P4 now. What are we even doing? Football is a pipe dream to ever be consistently good. Basketball is the brand. And we can't pony up the dollars to be serious. Let's end the charade. Just push us back down a level.

Reading every post in this thread I think 3 things

1) l believe some posters love to argue.
2) l can’t believe some posters still call out insiders on information they are just passing along.
3) I wish I invested in a speed reading course.

I’ve used chatGPT to summarize this thread for me a few times. I’d venture it’s about 60% correct, but that’s probably the level of my reading comprehension so it all evens out.

Quade Green. Oh wait.. nevermind

I love Carmelo Anthony. I can’t think of anyone who would pony up cash last year for Red other than him.

Could he not be on board with Hodgson? Goodman mentioned retaining Kiyan Anthony and made a face when he said it. Compete guess here.

 

[sdhall01]

It's real.

And money wasn't the only issue, but I don't think a lot of people here are ready for that conversation.

Of all the the time to vague post, this is not the time.

Respectfully he struggled with recruiting here.

Saying this as part cope and part hope. Is it possible that certain alumn would only commit to NIL with Gerry in and didn’t want to commit to an outsider?

 

[hoopsupstate]

And he won’t have it.

It's funny I keep forgetting the Carmelo Anthony component in this lol.

Since when?

This is extremely underwhelming. Love Gerry, but not now. We need proven. If he wasn’t a grad, we would NEVER be considering him.
