Not Bulldog. I mean even Louisville didn't go big on base salary for Kelsey initially. Syracuse would need to and realistically should be able to be very generous when it comes to offering incentives and even some auto extensions for hitting particular goals better than most places. Syracuse Basketball is a revenue generating machine when it's winning. Syracuse can learn a lot from Louisville on how to handle this from a contract structuring basis imo. As I said here yesterday, the biggest obstacle that could stand in the way of getting this done will be the exclusionary attitude of those with influence to hiring the outsider. If they still even exist and they might, you don't want it to get to the point where he determines it's too difficult to overcome the barriers to being accepted and he turns his attention elsewhere. You are already seeing the conversation in local media, when it comes to discussing Hodgson, the tone changes and the examination of the resume gets a little bit more scrutinized. Perhaps because he is the leader in the clubhouse, but it could also be the sources that are feeding the media the scoop are also doing so with a similar tone, which is concerning. If it's Hodgson or some other outsider that gets this job, it's not going to be business as usual. It will be a big deal and it will be easier to get to the real things that need to happen to increase the chances of winning asap, the quicker everyone embraces the move and gives him a chance. They haven't hired an outsider to lead the program in over 60 years.
