Glad you said it. I'll add, I think we forget that the 2020-2021 season and even the 2021-2022 season for Hop was significantly impacted by COVID. Sure everyone had to deal with it, however not everyone had to deal with the state restrictions and the limited time coaches could be around anyone let alone the players. ((SEE SYRACUSE FOOTBALL'S 2020 SEASON)).

I'm in Lakewood Ranch in Florida and I could tell you COVID did not exist here. Now when I went to NY for business, it was the polar opposite. Washington had similar restrictions as NY.

Couple that with trying to convince kids from the east coast to go out west since that's where Hops contacts were and it was kind of a perfect storm.

Additionally, take a look at how their current coach is doing... Maybe, just maybe people over value that Washington job.

Now to Bulldogs point, Hop most certainly learned a lot being on his own and running a program and I believe he would make some changes in his second go around. That's on top of working in the NBA and being around some other coaching philosophies and ways of doing things.

This isn't meant to be an endorsement, I still think we're a decade late on this. Just offering another perspective.
