Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 5716002, member: 202"] If you believe in Karma (I do), then this is playing out exactly as it should. So many here (and in the Dome) treated Red (and many of the players) terribly the last 18 months. Not universal among our fans, but gosh, that was on the whole, disappointing. At least to me. That said, in the end, a change had to be made and it has been. Hodgson Ramblings: This does not have to be dead. It's not like SU's power brokers cannot get their "stuff" together and reapproach. It happens. Look at Liam Coen and the NFL's Jacksonville Jaguars. He just led them to a 13-win season. After an initial interview, Coen took his name out of consideration (he did not like the GM). But the owner took that feedback, made some structural/internal changes (fired the GM) and he called back. And within 24 hours, Coen accepted the job in Jacksonville. I think it is important to recognize that modern college hoops has been inordinantly influenced by programs and coaches from the Midwest/Plains (B10/B12). Structure. Discipline. Toughness. Moving the ball. It's no longer "let's get the top kids from the Northeast (BOS/NY/NJ/Philly/DC) coordidor and roll the ball out there" I wanted Red to succeed, but he did not get buy in in terms of discipline and/or toughness. Midwestern hoops mindset is not "well, it's been four possessions since I touched the ball, when I do get it, I am going to dribble and likely shoot. Get mine." I hope the next coach can secure and keep buy in from the roster (on both ends of the floor). I'm am into taking a real solid look at Bobby Hurley. I think it is more of a fit that most want to admit. He's not his brother. And his has vast experience, some of it in WNY and I sense he'd be able to capture an Orange NIL audience with a vision. All I am saying is he should be/can be a viable candidate, one with a higher floor and likely a lower ceiling. [/QUOTE]
