Fire Autry

[Cuse12]

It was bad timing for an epic snowstorm

It was clear, minimal wind, honestly not bad conditions at all compared to what we are used to here. I know what you mean, but the weather had minimal impact in my opinion. The product is lack luster.

Josh Schertz
Tony Skinn

Bryan Hodgson (I think he will get interviewed 100%)
Chris Mack (We 100% should interview because P4 experience)

I think this is the list with maybe Murray added on. Schertz or Skinn should be made a priority because they have proven they can win as head coaches. Mack has as well, but was several years back and has some blemishes on his resume. Hodgson has won but not as consistently and impressively as Schertz and Skinn. He can recruit, but nowawadays money is doing the recruiting so not sure how much that matters. Murray seems like an offensive mastermind but can he lead a program? Don’t think we are in a spot where we can take a chance on someone who hasn’t proven that already. I’m all in on Schertz or Skinn at this point.

I agree that’s the list but I’d have Halloaway over Murray

This will come off badly probably but we Need to get whichever coach is most sought after by a competing top P5 program also on the hunt.

It’s going yo be pricey but gotta spend money to make money right.

No time to overthink this and get cute.

 

[Cuse99&01]

He doesn’t even know what he is saying in these pressers

 

[nocohalo]

Someone has to explain the Hodgson obsession. I do not get it.

That interview makes me sad. Autry is in my top 10 of all time favorite players, and to see it going this way stinks, and it must be lousy for him.

Small connection to SU as he used to coach at JB’s camps. From upstate NY (southern tier). Nate Oates coaching tree so some think he’ll be an adequate substitute for Oates as many wanted him to replace JB and we’re never getting Oates now.

Also, apparently has connections to Lally and other boosters.

However, I think there are better options out there this year, but you never know as he could be a viable candidate if he’s able to make USF a winner this year (albeit unlikely).

Correct lots of connections so I think he will get an interview. I don’t think he will be the best option but I imagine an interview will please all the connections he has.

They need to try and get the single best coach we can get that isn’t part of the Boeheim royal family tree. I’d make an exception for Dick Pitino but he’s not leaving Winged Foot.

Whole thing is sad. This isn’t football. I thank Boeheim for the expectations being top 10 level.

Everyone keeps acting like this was actually JW choice. JB went out kicking and screaming. Only way to keep him from blowing everything up was hiring an assistant. JB may have wanted Jerry over Red but he was not going to accept an out of program hire. Hopefully the BOT tells JB he has no say on the next coach.

Like they should have done the first time. There are some soft people on the hill calling the shots.

144% THIS.

And frankly, as respectable job as GMac is doing at Siena, he also would’ve been a TURRIBLE hire for Cuse.

There are only 3 reasons you ever do a continuity hire:

Your program is humming along, and you want to keep stability.
(See: Duke)

You need to get rid of a HOF HC who is clearly past his expiration date, and it’s the only way to make him go “quietly”.

Your program is notoriously cheap and lazy when it comes to HC hires.
(See: Scott Shafer)

We weren’t option 1 for over a decade, so we doubled down on 2 & 3.

Now it’s time to pay the piper.

Full national search.
Best possible HC candidate.
Pay at or above market rate.

We got a discount from JAB for decades, and Red better not have been paid big $.
Time to play and pay like the big boys were supposed to be in hoops.

Autry getting out coached every game is tiring. Its every game... every single one.

Unfortunately it's the gift that keeps on giving.
