Coach Search Options after Autry

[Jake]

Still not sure who it’s going to be. Went to bed last night thinking it was Hop. Now Thinking it could also be Gerry.

Either way, it’s heavily heavily leaning in-house.

 

[Cuse1055]

Think press conference for Blair is tomorrow so that could be the announcement.

 

[Briancuse]

Either way I'm taking a 3 year hiatus from this program.

 

[UpstateSM]

Just a totally unserious institution

That's very disappointing. Almost all power conference schools don't do that because it's a losing strategy when you purposely tie your hands behind your back.

Correct in that the presser is at 10.

There will be light snacks.

No way that the new coach is announced at the same time.

Float hops name out there, so we aren’t mad when they go with Gerry? Hahah

 

[BomberOrange]

So what I am gathering is that Syracuse is the poorest P4 team in the nation….and throw in the big east and AAC too.

 

[Chip]

Glad mine is at VT.

Words I hope to never utter. But might have to.

 

[bballbeadle]

The sun will come out tomorrow
Bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow
Will be sun!

I will not hurl myself into the volcano. We could all be wrong.

There is sun this morning in Syracuse!….its 16 degrees but its sunny.

4D chess by SU. Pimp out Hop and when we hire Gmac they hope everyone will think we dodged a bullet.

 

[Newhouser]

They should announce Thursday during tournament. Nobody will cover it.

 

[Cusefan0307]

very clear at this point that the agent was getting ahead of the story. why syracuse decided to go in a different direction? that i'm unsure of. last i heard BH had asked for a specific # and they hadn't yet given him the necessary assurances. perhaps they didn't care to.

i'll also add this: the panic on this board is not 100% justified. i felt BH was probably our best candidate. most of us first heard about him a few months ago. not sure this is worth a full meltdown.

the optics of this (the agent using goodman to make us look bad) are probably the most frustrating part. it doesn't help the narrative that we are struggling with NIL (which i think is somewhat true but not as bad as everyone makes it out to be)

The problem is he's clearly the best candidate and on the cutting edge of analytics. No one else out there is. So we are almost certainly going to get a meh candidate. Unless it's some home run hire we haven't heard about.

I have zero faith anyone knows what they are doing on the hill regarding basketball. When in doubt we will revert to what worked 20 and 30 years ago then will wonder why we suck in November. We have not adjusted to the times and a lot of fans haven't either.

[chadvader]

If they hire Hop, there is nothing they can say to get that faith back. Gerry will make the Syracuse.com mouth breathers happy but that’s about it

I’m also talking about the NIL narrative as well. The narrative now is that Syracuse is poor.

 

[Briancuse]

Best way to put horrible news out there.

 

[MSOrange]

Exactly! That's the only way I'd be ok with Gerry is if the other choice is Hop.

 

[Toga]

its not. We will be fine on football NIL. Things are being fixed.

 

[djorange1989]

if they stay in the family it means it’s the only way they can raise enough NIL. And that it is run by idiots

Ding ding ding

Very disappointing. The program needs a heavy reset and the plan is to run it back with Hop or Gerry. Awful.

 

[VikesCuse84]

100% run by idiots but I think deep down most of us thought that to be the case before this fiasco.

Good luck and god bless to him. He’s got his work cut out for him.

Boeheim's Army all the time now! Won't other schools be jealous??
