While there are concerns, this situation is ultimately beneficial for Syracuse because there is currently no alumnus who should be seriously considered for the job.

What we have at Syracuse is a sleeping giant that needs to be awakened before our NIL situation truly improves. That reality will understandably turn some coaches away, but that says more about them than it does about Syracuse. It shows a lack of baseline confidence in their ability to rebuild a program of our caliber without simply throwing money at the problem.

We need a coach who understands exactly what we have right now: a middle-of-the-road NIL support structure paired with top-tier basketball expectations. Coaches who are confident in their abilities to turn around a program like ours will likely see NIL support increase as wins come and momentum builds.

That is why I continue to come back to Hodgson, even though he may not be the most sought-after coach on the market. He appears extremely confident in his ability, understands the current limitations of the program, and still recognizes what Syracuse can become.

He also brings a modern approach to basketball. His teams play an extremely fast-paced offensive style that could turn the Dome into a place of entertaining, high-energy basketball again. In addition, he places a strong emphasis on analytics, which will be critical as we continue to operate within budget constraints while maintaining high expectations.
