Coach Search Options after Autry

[Cusefan0307]

Well, it definitely played a part.

He wanted nothing to do with that situation either...

Not shocked

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Well if it’s not Gerry…..it’s gotta be Hop.

LOL, the school is so myopic and backwater

 

[RedtheGOB]

Curry Hicks Sage fwiw does not believe that Hodgson was offered the job to turn it down.

Yea. Saw that. It’s confirmed. Some commenters mentioned on other sites too. It was also a while back too. We’ll never know.

BH camp will take it to the grave that they turned us down and we can say we don’t offer.

 

[orangepassion]

I wonder if this HOP stuff is supposed to make us feel better if we hire G-Mac-i.e At least it wasn't Hop.

 

[JeremyCuse]

Sure it’s their prerogative. But it’s short term thinking and a piss poor way to run a railroad.

Capitalism, gotta take the good with the bad. Let things play out, amazing what happens when push comes to shove.

Fran better win games then. JW and Blair both gaslit the fanbase saying this was the best job available this offseason saying they’d hire the a coach that won at this level.

Hopkins is none of that. He’s awful. I don’t care how
much more money we would have with him as coach. We are still at a disadvantage recruiting with his track record.

Fair to say you don’t like him as an x’s and o’s coach. But he will not be at a disadvantage recruiting

You think SU turned down money from Lally to hire Hodgson? Lmao

Yeah sounds the opposite…like hoops you are on your own which is really weird. None of this adds up at all

 

[RF2044]

The timing of the Hodgson news breaking makes no sense.

Unless Syracuse was going in a different direction, so Hodgson preempts being rejected by rejecting first.

Seems like PR 101. But what a confusing outcome.

I'm going to put this out there, it is super strange to me that Seton Hall wouldn't play in a postseason tournament when the portal doesn't open until after the National Championship. A program that won 7 games the year prior.

So what, we just sold the job to the highest bidder? Real professional way to go. Maybe we should have asked Gates or Zuckerman if they wanted to coach.

 

[orangepassion]

Curry Hicks Sage believes Syracuse did not offer Bryan Hodgson the job. Note though, this does not mean that he didn't drop out of the race.

Why would you offer Hodgson when you can hire Hop? It's not often you can get someone who's conference winning pct is below .500.

a program that is infamously broke, turning down a potential for more money, does in fact seem fishy

If the Lallys made the $$ available for Hodgson he'd be the coach. SU sure as hell didnt tell them no thanks

Yeah agreed…

Hence why Jake said earlier there must be something imminent being announced.

 

[Cappy3]

As I said and was told by a legit source.

Why wouldn’t they? Just eager to sell the job to Hop or GMac?

 

[JeremyCuse]

So what, we just sold the job to the highest bidder? Real professional way to go. Maybe we should have asked Gates or Zuckerman if they wanted to coach.

Again, Hodgson was the #1 target, full stop. Not sure what's hard to comprehend here.

 

[orangepassion]

Was right there with ya boy!

You also said there was nothing to worry about and people were fretting about nothing

 

[AZOrange]

Which makes no sense given all the smoke. Wonder if they give it to him at usf? This Lyke thing went real bad I guess

 

[VikesCuse84]

Just not a serious program. Doubt SU bball will ever again be what it was.

It’ll never be what it was. Syracuse basketball is dead.

And people want Holloway?

He stinks too.

 

[tptcuse]

I believe his name is Anthony not Bernard…..hahaha

I know. I was riffing on the Hopkins theme that was going on.

lol ok
