Coach Search Options after Autry

[chugg21]

Possible that Gerry came in, and had the best interview and the best plan including NIL backing that other candidates didn't have.

Yeah, same as Red did when "other candidates" is 2 people.

 

[RF2044]

None of the Syracuse guys have a clue how to coach modern offensive basketball.

Unfortunately, this is 100% accurate / spot on.

Rick Barnes retiring... Hodg to Tennessee this wknd.

If this prediction ^^^ comes to pass, it would certainly explain why our offer didn't stack up with an alternative from the $EC.

Amazes me the total lack of support for GMac on this board. I know it shouldn't.

He's had one good year at the lowest level of Division 1 coaching.
That's like giving a 12 year old a new car.
They might turn out to be a great driver, but honestly, it's too soon to know.

There's no way in hell I'm reading the last 48 pages (since 6pm last night).
What time did you guys wake up this morning, my goodness

 

[RyanCuse44]

Thanks Adam, you’re about 3 years late

He's another tool like Goodman. They go hand in hand.

This is the one post I was hoping to find here

Exactly. I can live with it and understand if he goes to an SEC school.

But the vibes and memories. Remeniscing is the best way to guarantee success moving forward!

We're like the townie that's in his 40s still bragging about going to the prom with the cheerleader in high school.

Hoping for a surprise on the HC front from where we are now.

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.

This makes sense to me.

Because it would make ZERO sense for the Hodgson camp to put out a press release through a mouthpiece like Goodman a day and a half before his team plays an important NCAAT game.

But from a PR perspective, it DOES make sense for his camp to get out in front of a story where Syracuse is choosing someone else over him. You preempt that by putting info out there that you turned them down first, you didn't get turned down. PR 101 spin.

 

[RedtheGOB]

How did he interview without anyone hearing about it?

He showed up and just played a video of the first half of the Natty game against Kansas. 6 3’s! What else do you need to know ha.

 

[AZOrange]

Gmac going to spurn us. This is getting good.

I didn’t say that. But he’s no dope

 

[NKR1978]

Amazes me the total lack of support for GMac on this board. I know it shouldn't.

It certainly wont amaze me when we're playing in a stripped down AAC in 2031.

But I'm happy that the basketball alums get their nepo hire.

 

[phil77]

I just got to the office I will try and catch up now so I know what to be mad about today

 

[CuseCPT]

It's 7:00 AM.

How many of you are still "done for good" because BH didn't get the job?

How many of you are drama queens who will be back if you like the next coach?

If you're done, would you mind posting your seat locations? I'm sure the fans who still support the team would hate to see those empty seats go to waste every game.

My family was in 113 since the Dome opened. Lost a few rows in the renovation, cancelled last season. Have at ‘em.

Nobody should be drinking PBRs at 4:30am, Marsh. It's just not good for you.

Don’t blame you - First time in 20 plus years I didn’t make it to a home game.

 

[FrancoPizza]

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.

And there goes my optimism.

That's where I'm at -- I'm hoping that the new AD pulls some high potential candidate out of left field that isn't on our "list."

I'm afraid of where this is headed now.

 

[Newhouser]

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

TBT is losing interest in Boeheim's Army.

 

[OburgOrange]

Same, Clarkson because of engineering. And the athletics up in Potsdam, New York just don’t compare.

In hindsight I do wish I applied to some top tier academic schools just to see. Certainly had the grades.

But again… watching high level sports is a great thing when they aren’t the opposite.

You and rrlbees classmates?

If this prediction ^^^ comes to pass, it would certainly explain why our offer didn't stack up with an alternative from the $EC.

It would at least provide a logical reason on the Hodg pass that isn't madness, incompetence, or a bag of buttons for NIL... and maybe provide hope that we have other qualified candidates we are working down the list.

Julius Hodge / Hakim Warrick please lol

Good lord knock it off. I already made it clear I’m from 20
Mins away of Scranton originally, know the family and freaking played against the guy in HS. I’d love him here, when it’s the right time.

I do not want his legacy stained by having to take on this role when things are rock bottom. It’s a big risk for him and the school. If it’s Hop or him it’s gotta be GMac but it’s not a good situation to be walking into right now.

He needs more time to grow as a coach - that’s not a lack of support or hate.
