Coach Search Options after Autry

[SanDiegoCuse]

Golden won the NC last year and has the Gators on a consistent elite level. Not sure he’s going anywhere anytime soon unless he goes to the NBA or UK throws bags of money at him.

Kansas maybe.

 

[StPeteOrang]

I’ve heard that. Keep an eye on the Florida job.

Wait what? You mean the gators aka reigning champions and 1 seed?

 

[FrancoPizza]

Interesting take

Nobody said he was the perfect candidate you dufus. He just happened to be by far the best candidate that was on our board.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Rumor is Kansas is interested if Self retires.

Earlier post stated that job is going to Jacque Vaughan

I am done making any predictions. There are so many factions, and those factions have factions. There’s only thing I’m sure of is that this process is like herding cats.

I’m just gonna sit back and see how it unfolds. I know the Heimer wants to keep it “in the family”, just not sure he has the juice to do it.

Their donors are split too.

I thought the vaunted Etan and Devo podcast was all in on Gerry?

Melo and some others are behind Hop is my understanding.

See this I agree with. Sounds just like a normal day at Syracuse.

 

[LpoolNative]

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.

Well, be prepared for another 2-4 horrible seasons

A lot of rumors around Golden being targeted by Kansas and/or UNC if their jobs become available this year or next.

I’m just going to wait until Thamel posts on X telling us who our new coach is.

You have to read between the lines to understand what Jake is getting at:

Cats.

That means the next head coach will either be Jason Hart of the Kentucky Wildcats or whoever is the head coach of Solvay High School

imo, he doesn't.

It's intriguing as I get the impression that insiders here may even be more out of the loop than the AD search that turned out unexpected. Not to knock the insiders, I appreciate the info of what you know, the sources likely just aren't getting the info quality they used to get or things are changing really fast. You have to see the results, but the fact that the cards are being kept close to the chest you can argue is a sign of more competent leadership.

Might be the Blair factor at play.

 

[Nicknack]

Thank you for changing your avatar, Phil. Looks much better.

 

[SUFaninNJ]

So......Dan Mullen is the new Head Coach?

 

[cusefan88]

imo, he doesn't.

As it should be. He can have an opinion but it shouldn't matter at all.

If the Heimer wasn't a grumpy curmugeon, he would support whoever is hired and be available as a resource to that person however they see fit.

 

[LpoolNative]

I also wouldn’t be shocked if one of the major donors funding the USF package for BH is JL.

You have to be kidding

I shouldn’t admit this but with so many names being thrown around in this thread it took me a bit too long to realize who the Heimer was.

 

[FrancoPizza]

I’ve heard that. Keep an eye on the Florida job.

If this is in reference to BH taking the Florida job, I couldn't care less what he does now.

 

[4evaOrange]

Emergencey IGGY poll!

Guess the next SUMBB coach

 

[OttosShoes]

Unless I'm missing something, which can absolutely be the case with how fast you have to read to keep up with this thread, but after it was announced last night that Hodgson wasn't the guy, an insider posts that they think something could be announced today (which I think they were just speculating).

I think Jake and I both independently said that around the same time. I'd said "wouldn't be surprised if it was tomorrow;" as speculation (not inside info) in reference to the fact that Hodgson's agent wouldn't leak it if there were any way it could still be used as negotiating leverage. Getting ahead of an announcement is just one of several plausible scenarios where leaking would make sense.

I'm honestly kind of baffled how that rippled into "it's tomorrow and Hopkins is our choice because we're broke." Same thing happened when I posted the picture of Lyke with Melo. I think we're collectively a bit panicked at the moment, and with incomplete information, panic fills in the blanks with the worst. That's understandable, but personally I try to remember that when stuff is unknown it's never the best case scenario but it's never the worst case either.

So while I'm disappointed about the collective drama and about Hodgson, I'm not worried, either. Lots of fish in the sea.

Let's just hope Blair is staying calm and casting a wide net.
