Again he is basically a career .500 coach. How is that being a winner? Not knocking him personally, perhaps he is a great guy and family man but a person who only wins slightly better than 50 percent of his games isn't turning Syracuse around. No thanks, we should require much better.
I don’t know, after listening to Blair today I actually think it’s going to be an outside the family hire, but who knows.
Another coach that would need an offensive coordinator.
Unfortunately one of those things where it would be great to see a longer track record of success but his W/L is heavily weighted down by the one horrific rebuilding year where they cleaned house.
As I understand the context , he was saying we should consider everyone , not just outsiders. He has previously stated , he wants the best man for the job regardless of in house or not.
You are correct. How many times do we have to hear the new guys in charge say "outside the box". BB said it multiple times, Tirico too.
If you read between the lines he's lobbying for Hop or GMac.
the is the thinking that has led to where the program is. doty doest make the starting line up at any acc schools and probably doesn't sniff the 7th man on most. again cute story but su needs to think bigger. this portal class need to be top 5 in the country for any hope of making the tourney. doty doesn't move the needle. wash rinse and repeat that's all this is. im going to bet in 15 years when we are on our 5th coach we look back at this moment and say What, two jb coaches what were they thinking. by then they will only sell tickets to the 100 level and there will be a turning stone banner cover all of the 300 level. remember the good old days fondly, that's all we have left
He may be, and if I were him I would back my players, But again , he said get the best coach available. In his heart he believes it to be Gmac or Hop and I have 0 problem with that.
Mike Hopkins would be the worst hire at a power conference school in the past decade.
Couldn’t disagree more .
