Coaching Candidates (My List)

[Jack_Ball]

Sean Miller but making $5M per year
Shaka Smart only making $2M
Ben Mccollum 80% win percentage & making $500k
Wes Miller making $2.8M
Bryan Hodgson only making $450k
Anthony Grant making $2.4m

This seems like a reasonable list for salary? What say you?

No Jay Wright???? Just kidding.

 

[Jasoncuse]

Hodgson or McCollum would be great but we will be fighting off other major programs. Going to need to act quickly and decisively and we know that isn’t happening.

Sean Miller too expensive
Shaka probably not leaving his home for similar money
Wes Miller too expensive and in a better situation
Grant, meh

I tried being somewhat realistic..haha

I think if you want Hodgson you need to do it this offseason or that ship will sail similar to Oats

If he ends up at UVa or Miami this spring…

 

[im4cuse]

Didn’t realize he’s from Olean. Great life story raised from foster care. Has stayed hungry. Love that. Ace recruiter, including Canada. He’s Nate Oats 2.0. Do it and bring his team with him.

 

[FrancoPizza]

Miller is my pick. We need someone completely proven in all facets.

 

[RF2044]

Maybe we should make a continuity hire -- Allen Griffin's on the bench

 

[Scooch]

I want someone who isn’t mentioned on this board.

100% serious.

"With a team led by a man who has assisted with the new-age offense of Oats at Alabama, the Red Wolves have done under Hodgson what many expected, shoot the basketball and outscore your opponents. Last season, ASU was top-50 in the nation in percent of shots taken from behind the arc (42.8%) while also ranking first in the Sun Belt in offensive efficiency. This is a system that wholly depends on its offensive production, but Hodgson’s moves in the offseason prove that his intention with such a scheme is more than that.
Coming off a season where his team ranked third-to-last in the conference in defensive efficiency, Hodgson has made moves to quell that issue and give his team the two-way element that sends teams dancing in March. Marshall, standing at 6-foot-8, 215 pounds, racked up 10 rebounds and two blocks in the season opener. That performance proved to the country that he can hold down the paint for a team that has been heavily-targeted on the interior in the past."

Forget Shaka. He’s from sconsin.

 

[Cuse1055]

I’m all in on Hodgson.

I like Hodgson the best out of this group. I'm not a fan of Grant. Smart would be a good hire if we go for experience but I would roll the dice on the Olean kid and I think the boosters would really take to him.

I mean this in the most respectful manner possible, but when the time comes to select Red's replacement, I hope the AD does 180°, diametrically the opposite of whatever you would suggest.

Based on his Wiki he used to work basketball camps at Syracuse while he was working his way up as a young coach. I think he’d jump at a chance to move back “home” and coach Syracuse.

 

[SWC75]

No love for Matt Langel? I remember when Notre Dame hired Ara Parseghian because he kept beating them at Northwestern.

 

[Cuse_bball]

Jason hart, bob richey from Furman, Drew Valentine from Loyola Chicago, Chris Jans from Miss st, Richard Pitino, Chris Collins, Sean Miller, Mike Rhodes, Mitch Henderson, Archie Miller, Shaheen Holloway, Hodgson, Ryan Odom is a pretty good list to look at. Some are young up and comers and some are retreads that have turned their careers around and won at harder jobs than Syracuse. My favorite candidate would be Chris Jans or Mitch Henderson personally.

 

[Brian Orange]

Lots of interesting and realistic names here. They are also all names that would have bee laughed at by this board 4 years ago. My have times changed.

If Wildhack really does some research I hope he could find an established coach that you wouldn't think would change schools but might just need a change of scenery. A coach like a Mark Few, McDermott from Creighton, etc.

Mark Few would be amazing but I don’t see him moving cross country, even if he is friends with Jimmy.

I think he should listen to you.

 

[dan7800]

I am not knowledgeable on the subject, but Hodgson seems a bit weak to me. 1 year of D1 HC experience? What am I missing?

A few years ago, Oats at least had a decent about of D1 coaching experience.

 

[Newhouser]

The sad reality is we all know we will have this same thread going next year...at least.

 

[OttosShoes]

I don't think there's any chance we go for Miller and not because of the price tag, but because of the scandal. Once bitten twice shy and all that.

I do like Anthony Grant an awful lot. No 22 Dayton is 10-3 right now with a win over No 9 Marquette, despite mid-major recruiting appeal.

 

[RF2044]

I think he should listen to you.

Hopefully, next time.

Due diligence is never a bad thing.
