Are people joking on this topic ?  I’m sorry please tell me if this stuff is sarcasm. Billy Donovan?? Nate Oats??  The time to get Oats was when he was 3 hours down the thruway. Instead they let Jimmy coach 5 more pretty dreadful years. By the way. Danny Hurley was at Rhode Island then too.

If Boeheim had left the year after they won the Natty they would’ve hired Hopkins. Because no other “big name “ coach would’ve come here. SU fans have always overvalued coaching here. There ain’t no big names eying this school for any sport.

If you want to know the biggest name Coach they’ve ever hired it would be Greg Robinson!!

That’s right GRob. Everyone else has pretty much been a no name assistant or a no name from another school. Some of them have worked out.  Schartzwalder, Jimmy B. MacPherson, Desko, Pasqualoni. But they never made a splash with a name hire.

That’s how it’s always been. Unless some big donors are going to pony up you can be assured the next coach is going to be somebody the majority of us ain’t that familiar with.

Unless of course they keep retreading Boeheimers and go after GMac. Which shouldn’t or wouldn’t surprise anyone.
