Ok, I won’t get into all of the rumor and speculation surrounding Hodgson because there’s plenty to go around. The most important thing is where do we go next?

I’m going to be pretty clear that the next coach needs to want Syracuse. Hodgson seemed like the right fit. Upstate NY background. Syracuse fan. Top recruiter. Strong fundraiser. But he didn’t really want Syracuse.

The next coach needs to have more than just a successful resume. He needs to have the character to live with high expectations because they’ll be higher than ever before. He needs to be a part of the community and be able, along with his family, to endure harsh winters. It was never going to be easy replacing a legend. Red found that out the hard way.

The list of potential coaches doesn’t appear to include many who fit that criteria. The one getting the most attention now does meet those standards with the exception of experience. Is it worth the risk? Or do you move on and hand it to someone who doesn’t know the culture, isn’t ready for SU expectations, and a foot of snow in his driveway?

Make the wrong call and we’re back in the same place.
