Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cusefan0307]

On the other hand this really starts to lend credence to what I was told months ago.

Schertz and Murray were 1 and 2

BH was 3.

Don’t be surprised if we start hearing about Murray.

Would be a mistake too. JW said they were looking at someone who’s won at a high level. I can’t take that seriously as an assistant with him learning on the job.

 

[richmondcuse03]

i would prefer Murray over gmac.

 

[TommyA13]

yeah, I can see AW coughing up the dough to get the coach the Lally's want. Sounds like a plan

Not that he would cough up money for that, but AW and BH are friends

 

[TommyA13]

Btw the only way I wouldn’t be upset about us not getting BH would be getting TJ or PMJ (neither are happening I know).

 

[DocFlanders]

UConn is gonna spend less than 10 million in football that’s how they pay Hurley what they do, and have the hoops roster they have. Also they have big boosters for hoops. Jim Mora had things cooking there is a reason he left and it’s not just because he think CSU is gonna be a powerhouse.

And took us to the wire in football and probably should have won last year

 

[sdhall01]

Please tell me it's not Hopkins

Haha! I knew we were in trouble when I asked for someone other than G Mac and a finger curled up on the monkey's paw.

 

[Toga]

Could be waiting to see how G Mac does. Murray would be more expensive than G. This IS Syracuse.

My personal feeling is this was posturing by BH’s agent and/or fake news. Thats what I’ll stick to.

Just know what I’ve been told and its always been about Murray and Schertz.

Any NIL from this guy?

 

[ezbeezy214]

Probably not the best time to post this if you are trying to avoid media negativity

He donates ton of money with zero ROI. Get off his d

Can we trust Murray lol. Last time Syracuse made a big hire with a background from there rival school was Kent Syverud at Georgetown.

Also them posting this right now might be them signaling to not worry, trying to find the positive angle here lol

 

[Scotch]

Conspiracy theory: Lally’s & Hodgson leak this so that it looks likes SU has failed until the Lally’s come in at the last moment & financially save the day, instantly restoring their image amongst Orange fans.

Honestly, I refuse to believe this. I’ll believe Hodgson is Orange until he tells us he’s not.

Not gonna lie, this crossed my mind.

 

[OttosShoes]

I took a nap and came back to a game thread lolol.

No agent worth their salt is *ever* going to turn down one of the options before the deal is done. Options == leverage, that's negotiating 101. It's either or a ploy or we've already chosen someone else.

Frankly, I won't be surprised if we find out who our new coach is tomorrow.

 

[BronsonCuse]

thats not where nil comes from.

I know its not I'm saying you would think we would want to compete at a higher level financially. We're gathering we're not in the top third in the conference in spending for either football or basketball. I think its just hard for all of us collectively to realize we can't compete in either sport at the highest level. Maybe deep down we already knew that. We have many disadvantages -- smaller private NE school. Its just hard to grapple with that reality that the good ole days ain't coming back. I'm just posting through the pain at this point.

 

[Orangefan1]

Yeah wonder if there is some background issue or a larger fish in the pond then

There is no larger fish than Hodge at this point this is a major slap in the face

 

[RyanCuse44]

I think Holloway would be a good not great hire but he did do a hell of a job at Seton Hall but that’s is Alma mater would be shocked if he left.

No they wouldn't. They can get squat for NIL and know it's a matter of time before he heads to greener pastures which I think will be this off season.

 

[Melancer46]

None of them will take us where we need to go.

This probably isn't a program that aims to go where you think we need to go.

Freaking joke

Unless Hodgson knows where he is going.

 

[CU44SE]

Btw Hodgson did not get the job, he DID NOT turn it down. I have this from one of the most legit and reputable sources in the game. Not sure if it’s Gerry or someone else, but this is the agent spinning it that he turned it down.

I don’t agree with it. But it honestly makes sense. I say this because it makes absolutely 0 sense for this to leak from Hodgsons camp. He has a massive game in two days. It’s not that he’s staying at USF. It’s that he is not going to Syracuse but is between USF and Providence.

Why would an agent want to remove a potential bidding war with 3 teams. None of it makes sense coming from Hodgson as camp.

As it always seems, Syracuse always hires someone that no one ever had pegged. It doesn’t mean it will be the right hire, just feels like they for some reason decided to move on from Hodgson and maybe it was because they didn’t want to play his games.

Again, I think Hodgson was the right choice, it just smells like this is from the Syracuse side of things.

 

[Bulldog04]

What also kinda makes me a little mad during this whole thing, this agent and these media people are acting like this guy is John Wooden. He’s never been a P4 coach, has been a HC for 3 years and now all of a sudden they are talking about him like he’s the best coach in America. Is he the best option right now on paper ? Sure. You know who else was the best option on paper at PG - Nate George. This is out of hand

What's everyone's drink of choice tonight? Mine is anejo tequila on the rocks.

 

[orangeinohio]

Need to go rake some leaves.

 

[AZOrange]

I don't know what to think. I do think this news make little sense to me as it stands. Maybe it is agent spin and our new A.D. decided to go in another direction. And the agent decided to throw some shade on his way out the door. This guy has lobbied for the job for over a year. I find it hard to believe he would drop out just like that. We will learn more. I think cooler heads should prevail at this time. Let this play out.

Exactly

 

[Jake]

Yep it’s over

Waters carefully said he’s out of the running, not necessarily that he turned us down. But who knows who’s spinning the truth here.

Awesome that he tagged the Lally’s in the story.
